Abstract: The present apparatus, method, and system utilize sound waves to suppress fires using metasurface lenses that can work in concert with detectors to amplify and optimize sound pressure level and thereby deprive a fire of needed oxygen. Metamaterial is utilized that manipulates the propagation of acoustic waves by its structural makeup rather than its interior chemical makeup, thereby adjusting the phasing of sound waves to form converging beams of constructive interference even after the waves exit the material, ultimately making long-range fire-extinguishing accomplishable.
