>After Bishop Curry heard his neighbor’s 6-month-old infant died from being in an overheated car, he decided to create a life-saving device to prevent incidents like this from reoccurring ― as any responsible 10-year-old would.

>“It kind of came in my head,” Bishop told HuffPost of his device, the Oasis.

>The Oasis would respond to rising temperatures by emitting cool air and use an antenna to signal parents and authorities. At the moment, Bishop only has a 3-D clay model of the device, but his father, Bishop Curry IV, began a GoFundMe campaign for the Oasis in January.

>“I got lots of help from my parents,” Bishop said.

>Attorneys advised the family that the minimum amount they’d need for prototyping and manufacturing fees, as well as a patent for the device, is $20,000.

>The GoFundMe campaign has already exceeded that$20,000 goal and, as of Monday, has raised over $23,700. Bishop, who will begin sixth grade in the fall, told Fox News last week that in addition to his parents, his classmates and friends are fully behind him on his projects.

>“They want to work for me,” he said.

>Last June, CNN reported that the number of hot-car deaths had nearly tripled compared to the same time in 2015, which had 24 hot-car deaths in total.

>When Curry grows up, he wants to center his career around inventions, including a time machine.

1.) parents leave their kids in hot cars because they are stupid, not because they are lacking in a device. Most likely these idiots wouldnt have the money or initiative to get such devices. The problem is not the lack of a device, the problem is a lack of parenting.

Only working solution was to make this part of the car as bought.

You need just a detector for humans or animals on board and a thermometer. if there are any passengers and it is too hot you just detonate the stick of dynamite so that you quickly and conveniently open the car for some fresh air. The extremely loud BOOM would have the advantageous side effect of alerting the parents.

Easy.

This sounds like a scam. I'd really like to know what technology this young man has in mind that can cool a 120 degree fahrenheit vehicle cabin to a survivable temperature like 100 in such a small device. Not just that, but the device also needs a thermostat, small computer and a transmitter that, I assume, uses the cell network to contact the parent's cell phone.

As well, it requires an app to be made that will ultimately be giving the parent information.

$20k will NOT cover the costs to design and manufacture 1 prototype.

To cool rapidly you would have to release a coolant. Liquid nitrogen or dry ice are very effective. Also will displace the oxygen in the car.

You could go the opposite direction and release liquid oxygen in which case you will go boom in the style of >>8987960 .

Easiest thing is to do what upmarket European cars have had for many years now: a small roof mounted solar panel that powers the cars ventilation system.
