Scientists fight flames with electric wand By Jason Hanna, CNN
In Harvard University scientists say they used an electric field to extinguish an open flame more than 1 foot. A group headed by chemistry professor George M. Whitesides, connected a 600-watt amplifier to a metal wire that was fixed in place and pointed at the base of a methane flame. When the amplifier was turned on, the wand-like wire, serving as an electrode, generated an oscillating electric field that essentially pushed the flame off its fuel source. This extinguished it, said Ludovico Cademartiri, a postdoctoral fellow who presented the findings in California on Sunday at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. "What we discovered is that if one uses an oscillating electric field ... there are a number of mechanisms that come into play that have much stronger effects on the flames," Cademartiri said in an interview on Wednesday. Cademartiri offered a short explanation: The electric field exerts force on charged particles in the flame, causing those particles to move quickly. Wood might be more complicated, given that hot embers might reignite the flame, but while systematic studies haven't been done with wood fires the team did extinguish a wood fire with an electric field. Such uses are just speculation, and the team has just started looking at how electric fields' effects scale to the size of flames.

Scientists fight flames with electric wand
ResponderEliminarBy Jason Hanna, CNN
In Harvard University scientists say they used an electric field to extinguish an open flame more than 1 foot. A group headed by chemistry professor George M. Whitesides, connected a 600-watt amplifier to a metal wire that was fixed in place and pointed at the base of a methane flame. When the amplifier was turned on, the wand-like wire, serving as an electrode, generated an oscillating electric field that essentially pushed the flame off its fuel source. This extinguished it, said Ludovico Cademartiri, a postdoctoral fellow who presented the findings in California on Sunday at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. "What we discovered is that if one uses an oscillating electric field ... there are a number of mechanisms that come into play that have much stronger effects on the flames," Cademartiri said in an interview on Wednesday. Cademartiri offered a short explanation: The electric field exerts force on charged particles in the flame, causing those particles to move quickly. Wood might be more complicated, given that hot embers might reignite the flame, but while systematic studies haven't been done with wood fires the team did extinguish a wood fire with an electric field. Such uses are just speculation, and the team has just started looking at how electric fields' effects scale to the size of flames.

Spain won its first World Cup title on Sunday, defeating the Netherlands 1-0 with an extra-time goal by Andres Iniesta in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The goal capped a physical match that saw 13 yellow cards and Heitinga's red card. Dutch midfielder Arjen Robben had only Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas to beat after a fine delivery from Wesley Sneijder in the 62nd minute, but Casillas deflected Robben's shot with his right foot, sending the ball inches wide of goal. Spain's David Villa had a point-blank shot saved in the 69th minute, and his teammate Sergio Ramos had a free header that went over the bar about eight minutes later.
