Do you want to know if the place where you're planning to swim has strong.swift and dangerous currents? Just ask a clever girl named Maddison King,who invention can warm swimmers of potentially deadly waters containing what's known as “rip currents(激流)”.
This 18-year-old 12th -grade at Meriden School in Stralhfield,Australia is also a lifeguard.So she knows the risks pod by the rip currents.When they flow 70 centimeters per cond, most swimmers can't fight their way hack to the shore.Swimmers can easily be carried up to 200 metes offshore.That’s a long way, especially for a panicked or inexperienced swimmer. It’s possible to escape rip currents by swimming along the shore rather than directly hack towards the beach. But n
palladiumot everyone knows this.
So MadJison decided In develop something that can warn swimmers when rip currents are prent. She has developed four different prototypes(模型)of her buoys(浮标).The first didn't work well.The next three have included veral improvements.The current model is plastic,filled with foam and little bigger than a basketball.It can be cured to the attached lo others by a long chain.
即使英文The clever girl's smarts is hidden below the surface.There.water flowing past the buoy drives a small propeller(螺旋菜）.Water travelling faster than 70 centimeters per cond spins the propeller fast enough to cau a warning light on the buoy.She explains."I made the light red becau the flash of a bright white light might be mistaken for reflecting sunlight."
Becau the spinning propeller powers the warning light.her buoy needs no batteries.The current prototype cost Maddison about S300.But if the devices were produced in large quantities they might cost no more than 510d each.Future versions might even include something like a warming siren.That would provide even better warnings against dangerous rip currents
21.Why did Maddison King invent her buoy?

an impact on today's natural environment through its greenhou gas emissions.
The cavemen learned how to make fire that provided them with heal and protection against the wild animals that attacked them.Their first technological tools were stone axes and spears which were ud as protection and hunting tools.From then on,steps were taken to improve what was initially invented.This further made man's living conditions better and can be called technological advancements.The impact of technology on the environment back then wasn'1 100 significant becau it was mainly ud to improve the supply of man's basic needs.
