A fireproof, motion-powered sensor able to track people in high-risk environments could help save the lives of firefighters or miners.
Developed by a team from McMaster University, the sensor was built using a new carbon aerogel nanocomposite that offers unprecedented fire resistance. The tiny sensor can be embedded in the individual’s clothing, where the movement of the wearer will power the device’s triboelectric generator. The sensor would continuously monitor the wearer, triggering an alert to an external device if the movement stops.
