JAPAN is one of the most earthquake prone countries all over the world; therefore, we may expect some quake alert devices to be developed by the technology giant.
A Japanese company, Ubukata Industries, has emerged with a multi-tasking earthquake detector and alarm that can easily detect or track down the shakes with a magnitude of 5 and above on the Richter scale.
Featuring an integral lighting system for power failure in critical circumstances, the new earthquake detector comes in a compact size that can easily be mounted on a wall as well as ceiling. You may buy the compact smoke and earthquake detector for ¥14,700 ($124), certainly not too cheap.
The alarm doesn’t make any sense in this quake detecting system, for you barely need an alarm to warn you about a 5.0 magnitude earthquake. What do you think?
