Introducing Alertors: Extraordinary Solutions to Ordinary Problems
A Pennsylvania start-up launched their newest invention through Kickstarter, a popular funding site for new ideas and inventions. Alertors are devices that detect common household problems before they become costly or dangerous.
- Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease) January 13, 2012 - After one youth soccer player was killed and 29 were injured by a lightning strike on a nearby playing field in 1984, Eric Canfield, co-founder of nth Solutions, invented an extraordinary solution to an ordinary problem - he created the Storm Alert.
Fast-forward 27 years, and the more technologically-advanced 4th generation StormAlertor is now part of an entire product line being launched through Kickstarter by nth Solutions, a Pennsylvania electronics development and manufacturing start-up.
Alertors detect common household problems before they become dangerous or costly. In an era where conservation is king, the LeakAlertor is a solution for the estimated 50 million leaking toilets silently wasting precious water. For the 5 million people with dementia and 25.5 million children under age 6, the Open DoorAlertor is peace of mind - detecting when a door has been opened and has been left open. FridgeAlertor lets you know when the temperature of your refrigerator has gone above 40 degrees or below 32 degrees, preventing food-borne illness and food waste. And the StormAlertor detects lightning 30 miles away, allowing time for children to be brought indoors and electronics powered down and unplugged.
Started in 2009, Kickstarter is a funding website for new ideas and projects. Supporters "back" projects and receive rewards instead of financial incentives for fully-funded projects.
