Teenager Invents Cave Texting Device, Lights Hope Underground Communication

At sixteen years of teeny age when kids usually hang out with their skateboards or gaming consoles, Alexandar Kendrick of Los Alamos invented a device that enables people to use use radio communication when working underground.

This nobel invention can be used by tunnel-drillers, cave hunters and geologists to keep communication intact at greater depths (as deep as 946 feet) where cellphone communication or other wireless devices wouldn’t help a lot.

It is very fondly referred as a ‘cave-texting device’ and looks like a computer attached to a radio which uses low-frequency radio transmission to transmit data waves that can penetrate rock more easily than high-frequency transmissions, just like FM broadcasts.

The whole invention may look a sort of bulky and piped hexagon structure that allow underground communication via text messages but Alexander is planning to trim it down to a more convenient and practically feasible solution with a cave-friendly form factor.

This underground radio communication device can be used to drop off long telephone cabling for underground communication and will also help  workmen and geologists  communicate wirelessly, intuitively and more reliably than ever.

And for his distinctly useful science fair project, he was blessed with a new computer, a trip to Switzerland and $12,000. Now, that’s real encouragement.

He’s already working on a new project that would help scientists find underground rivers by using their electromagnetic current and he sure is on his way to success, we believe.
