Life Safety Innovations, live from Chicago!I'm here at the 2009 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Annual trade show & conference. It's a fascinating hybrid of those huge fire industry tradeshows and a government conference (maybe fascinating isn't the word...).
Anyway, the Expo is pretty cool. There's all kinds of esoteric providers of "building awareness software solutions", plus some Chinese fire extinguisher companies, plus big outfits like 3M.
Speaking of 3M, they definitely have the most mind-bending display: to show how electrically non-conductive their 3M Novec fire extinguishing fluid is, they have a laptop, switched on, running - inside a fishtank full of the stuff! It looks like the laptop is actually underwater!
Take it out and it's clean, dry and works perfectly.
Trippy...
I've discovered some extremely cool Life Safety Tech here - stand by for more pics and posts coming up tomorrow!
Here's a video from a previous tradeshow:
