Voltree Power Wires Sensors On Trees
Posted on Oct 9, 08 07:39 PM PDT
Forest fires are environmentally damaging, to say the least. Voltree Power aims to increase response time by attaching sensors to trees, and these sensors won't be solar powered but instead tap into trees' roots for free juice. The bioenergy converter will parasitically harvest metabolic energy from any large plant without causing any significant harm or damage, is weather resistant and won't have any heat or noise signatures due to security reasons. The tree will then be able to transmit data wirelessly via a mesh network of other trees up to four times daily to a base station, such as "Help! My leaves are on fire and I can't do anything about it!"
