The Christmas Tree Problem
Project #3118
EverSafe is an innovative device that can measure and monitor the water level in a Christmas tree stand, helping to prevent house fires. It contains a circuit that uses transistors which are activated by water in the Christmas tree stand, switching on three LEDs and indicating that the water level is high. As the tree drinks water, and the stand empties, the LEDs progressively get switched off, indicating that it is time to water your tree. In the U.S., firefighters respond to around 200 Christmas tree fires per year. EverSafe helps you to remember to water your tree and decreases the risk of fire and fire-related deaths.
