Claim 11:
12. A system for manipulating combustion reactions comprising:
a camera configured to obtain first image data and second image data of an environment,
wherein said first image data and said second image data depict a flame of a combustion reaction in said environment,
wherein said first image data depicts said flame of said combustion reaction having a first flame height,
wherein said second image data depicts said flame of said combustion reaction having a second flame height,
wherein said first image data is associated with a first temporal point and said second image data is associated with a second temporal point,
wherein in said first temporal point is a point in time immediately prior to application of a soundwave,
wherein said second temporal point is said point in time immediately after application of said soundwave,

a processor operably connected to said camera,
wherein said processor is configured to receive said first image data and said second image data from said camera,

an output device operably connected to said processor configured to emit said soundwave as a first soundwave and a second soundwave,
wherein said output device is configured to emit said first soundwave and said second soundwave,
wherein a first frequency and a first intensity of said first soundwave is altered by said processor to create said second soundwave having a second frequency and a second intensity,
wherein said first soundwave and said second soundwave are not simultaneously output by said output device,
wherein said first soundwave is output after said first temporal point and before said second temporal point,
wherein said second soundwave is output after said second temporal point,
wherein said second frequency and said second intensity of said second soundwave is optimized to create a heat reduction in said combustion reaction,

at least one sensor operably connected to said processor and configured to collect environmental data pertaining to said combustion reaction, and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to said processor,
wherein said non-transitory computer-readable medium contains instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by said processor, cause said processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from said at least one sensor, said environmental data,
receiving, from said camera, said first image data obtained at said first temporal point,
transmitting a computer readable signal to said output device that causes said output device to emit said first soundwave,
receiving, from said camera, said second image data taken at said second temporal point,
calculating said first flame height of said flame of said combustion reaction within said first image data,
calculating said second flame height of said flame of said combustion reaction within said second image data,
determining a first flashover probability of said combustion reaction using said environmental data,
determining a flame height difference using said first flame height and said second flame height,
determining a second flashover probability of said combustion reaction using said heat reduction based on said flame height difference,
comparing said first flashover probability to said second flashover probability to determine a flashover probability reduction, and
adjusting at least one of said first frequency and said first intensity to create a further said flashover probability reduction.
