    My Kickstarter Project - The Rain Forest Elevator

    by RainforestElevator » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:39 pm

    Nearth Company is running a Kickstarter for an invention which is going to help in the prevention of Rainforest deforestation and will also prove to be revolutionary in the temporary venue security industry.

    By backing this project, you are supporting development of a new kind of motion via a Torus wheel with some never-seen abilities.

    Your support will permit us to create remote-controlled robotic climbers that will aid in the efforts of http://www.rfcx.org (Rainforest Connection) for their team's deployment of Topher White’s solar-powered Forest Protectors.

    Rainforest Connection prevents illegal poaching and illegal logging - the #2 cause of Global Warming - by deploying cell phones which listens for the sounds of chainsaws which alert agents who can arrive on the scene in time to interrupt the perpetrators and stop the illegal logging.

    The only issue with Rainforest Connection's system is they have to manually install these devices into the trees by climbing them which is a dangerous proposition.

    Our devices can climb these trees and with our Kickstarter funding we will develop the ability for our climbers to attach these devices to the trees, eliminating the need for volunteers to have to risk their safety by climbing these trees.

    Rainforest Elevator's climbing technology is not limited to trees. It can climb most any manner of column shape, beam, or
    pipe; even irregular, curved, or angled ones. Since the payload and scale of our technology can be most any size, our technology has high potential in over 90 additional product categories within over a dozen business verticals.

    One of the main ones being temporary venue surveillance. Our devices can be deployed in any venue including sporting events to help prevent any future disasters.

    Take a look at our Kickstarter and help prevent rainforest deforestation!

    I think this is a pretty good Kickstarter, the video sales it.

    The problem is there's been no backers for this actual product, as backers have been supporting you on the lower tiers.

    I think you might have to refine it (or relaunch it?) where you offer lower tiers/products to get more backers or perhaps research who exactly would want this type of robot and target them.

    I also like the idea that you could sell these in bulk as having just one for a forest of trees sounds tiresome!

    All the best with the campaign and tweeted it on Twitter for you.

    The idea of using robotic climbers to install devices in trees and prevent illegal logging is definitely a game-changer. Plus, the fact that the climbing technology can be applied to various other industries, like temporary venue surveillance, adds to its potential impact.
    By the way, speaking of climbing technology, my uncle actually works for https://hinchong.com/, a lift maintenance company. He mentioned how important it is to have reliable and safe climbing equipment, especially when it comes to maintaining elevators and other vertical structures. It's fascinating to see how similar ideas can be applied in different contexts.
