Wireless Fire Detector

New Way Solutions, LLC and Point Source Inc. offer complementary technical capabilities to provide a uniquely qualified team that can develop a rapid, low cost “proof of concept” design and propotype for an innovative wireless network of fire detectors. The New Way Solutions Team proposes to use an innovative energy harvesting technology that uses the piezoelectric effect to convert mechanical energy from aircraft vibrations into useable DC electrical energy. Vibration energy harvesting is a viable means for powering wireless sensor envisioned for the wireless flame detection system. The use of energy harvesting technologies offers the potential to eliminate the need for batteries and their associated logistics requirements.
