# 2022 Aerostat |
The risk of forest fires is growing exponentially with the worsening global warming crisis, leading to increased loss of trees and green spaces.
Aerostat is a mechanical and reusable smoke-sensitive helium tank which inflates when smoke is detected and rises above the tree canopy, meaning that official in watchtowers can see the warning before the fire spreads. Usable at night due to the phosphorescent material the balloon is also cost effective with a high service life and low power consumption.
