In this talk we'll describe how electric fields can be designed to control combustion and flames. We'll propose the main mechanisms underlying this phenomenon and we will show how we can use it to suppress, stabilize, and manipulate flames, as well as prevent a flame from igniting a flammable gas mixture.
