"How about Smoke Detectors in the forest? These detectors could be located at strategic locations and could communicate wirelessly to a central computer in a fire tower or command center. Think of these detectors located on trees or other structures at various points in the grid of a forested area. This central computer could also have input on current wind speed and direction. From the input of smoke activated detectors and other data, the location of a fire could be pinpointed accurately and quickly. Using this concept, forest fires could be detected much sooner, thus saving lives and property. These detectors would not need to have an audible sound, though they could.
In addition, the detectors could be solar or wind powered. A fail-safe loss of normal signal could signal that a detector was inoperative and a repair order could be issued. The central computer could do a computer analysis of the fire situation, projected path, and recommended course of fire fighting action."
Possible Start Building Blocks –
- Existing concepts for smoke detectors, gas-sampling systems, enclosures like birdhouses, etc.
- USPTO Class/Subclasses for "How-To" ideas – 340/628, 340/518
