New Product Idea

With the floods in Chennai (again ...), loads of people are terrified of getting electrocuted by live electric wires that have snapped and fallen into water puddles. And of course if you want to get around Chennai, you have to wade through the puddle.

The product I propose is one designed like a walking stick, with a current detector at the tip. When a person is about to walk into a puddle, he/she inserts the device in first and makes sure there is no "beep".

Hmm, only snag is, its probably going to be another 16 years before Chennai gets decent rains :-)

That was my science project by a bunch of 11th grade school students in a science fair in Chennai 10 years back. They also had a light responsive diode which emitted a sound when a light was thrown at it. When blind people use this stick, it would beep when the lights of an oncoming vehicle fell on the stick !
