Solving The Problem

"Is there anybody out there???" - Solution

Problem: After natural disasters, people are frequently displaced and lack communication to reach out for help and safety because electronic systems in many areas are inefficient and outdated.

Solution: Develop a device that is capable of working within a limited energy capacity that can transmit information remotely to a service station or anyone with full access to resources who can bring families together and safe. It is not a cell phone or a computer device. This device will not be operated through battery charging or data service sectors. I envision a product that can be powered through solar, thermal, or wind energy, depending on the conditions being faced and it has only the capabilities to contact important messages. This is an emergency device used when cellphones, computers, etc. are not functional. It would potentially have more capabilities, but at the prototype stage, it is meant to keep families aware of each-other's locations. This product could be especially useful for first-respond teams, or environmental salvage efforts. One specific time in history, this device would have been useful for was the Thailand cave disaster last year that had several boys missing within a flooded cave for days. This device will be inexpensive, and readily available to third-world countries that experience brutal disasters with little relief efforts.
