Tomorrow is the big day that Discovery channel is coming to see my idea. I am pumped and would like to thank you guys for giving your feedback on the concept. Hopefully the show will be on by next week for everyone to see. On the Science channel in the USA and Daily Planet in Canada and China.

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

RM, I couldn't find the original thread but had a question for you. I'm sure you guys have already thought of this but say the room/building/hallway is full of smoke and someone wakes up or is disoriented with their surroundings (after all they're engulfed in smoke) and they see the laser light. How do they know which way to go if the light spans from one wall to the other? Is it strategically positioned to be up in the air pointing down so they know to follow the laser up? Just curious.

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

i think it was color guided. being like a red on your left and green on your right.

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

The best of luck to you.

And I hope your product does save many lives. Just think of the people you could be helping out with it! :)

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

runningman, I still think your whole site could use some trimming. delivery is everything, and you have a paragraph made of up two lengthy sentences on the front page... I'm not saying that this is what you need to use, but I think it has much more effect than the original statement. Hope you don't take this constructive criticism the wrong way.

example:

[quote]No matter how thick the smoke, LaserAid clearly identifies the most effective and efficient routes for evacuees and rescue professionals to evacuate and navigate during life threatening events. The patent pending highly visible dual color laser emergency navigation system is being praised by fire chiefs as a much better system than exit signs as the new technology makes their jobs a whole lot easier.[/quote]

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

[QUOTE] The green laser beam positioned on the right side takes you to the closest exit. The red laser beam positioned on the right side takes you into the building. Smoke particles enhance the visibility of the lasers.[/QUOTE]

so follow green and you'll be out of the building..pretty cool idea..definetly have to train people though..so they know green is out and its on the right hand side

#481062Post 15 of 36

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

But a laser is a continuous beam of light. So therefore if it is shooting toward north (from south) you could follow it south and if you were on the east side it would be on your right. But you could become confused and follow it north (not knowing which direction the light is coming from since it's continuous and does not fade) and it would be on your right if you were west of the beam.

Does that make sense?

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

no. your left is your left. and your right is your right. Ska. Hold up your hands and point yout thumbs towards each other. the one that makes the "L" is your left. you know like when you do the loser sign.

I just guess that in case of fire [I]everyone[/I] escapes....except Ska, no matter how ingenious the technology trying to guide him out is...Just gotta accept that.

Ska...head towards the light, [B]towards the light![/B]

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

As a volunteer firefighter I believe this is a fantastic idea. The feeling you must have, helping people find the way to escape a life endangering situation, is euphoric. I do not believe you will need any luck, your idea speaks for itself. Awesome job man, best wishes. John

I think I see what you are saying. If you walk out of your room in the middle of the beam how do you know which way the beam originated? Is that what you are getting to?

#481153Post 23 of 36

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

You people are not using your heads. The green laser could be on your right and you could be heading toward it or away from it. What is so hard to understand about that? It's not like a light bulb who's light fades with distance.

Think about it this way: A green laser positioned at 8 feet high on a wall that shoots out at an angle that is even with the horizon of your surroundings. So it spans wall to wall, starts at one and ends at the other. But, in a smokey room, completely engulfed, which wall does it start from and which does it end? If you wake up from your sleep inhaling smoke, become just the least bit disoriented, that green laser can be on your right and you could travel in either direction. Think about your computer desk, you could be standing on the side where your chair is and it's possible for the desk to be on your right. However, if you go to the opposite side of the desk, and turn in the opposite direction, the desk is on your right as well. The only difference being that you're in a clear room and obviously know which side is which.

who cares which way the beam is flowing... you're not following the flow of the beam. You're running toward the exit because you know Green on Right means go, and Red on Right means no.

the idea works... otherwise Discovery wouldn't be visiting :p

The starting and ending don't matter, it's the direction that counts. If the green is on your right, you are always traveling in the correct direction. Remember, it's flat against the wall. If you became disoriented and turned 180 degrees, it would now be on your left and you have to remember that's the wrong way to go.

Ski hills use similar fluorescent signposts to keep you from going off the trail in clouds, fog or snow. The first time I experienced this I found it very strange. After half a day it seemed very natural.

Still, Ska is going to die in case of fire.

Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..

Ok, I didn't scour the site to read the intricacies as the site is too difficult to read/navigate. Thank you for clearing that up gentlemen. And the firemen around here aren't allowed to have beards pickle..they might catch on fire.
