The Pyri device, shaped like a pinecone, is designed to be thrown from helicopters to provide an early warning system against wildfires in remote forest areas.
Inspired by 'pyriscencent' pine trees, the device's wax casing melts at 80°C, releasing a saltwater solution that powers a radio signal, notifying communities of approaching wildfires.
Richard Alexandre expresses a personal commitment to the Pyri invention, aiming to help prevent the devastating effects of wildfires, particularly in regions like the Pantanal.
The James Dyson Prize celebrates innovative solutions like Pyri, which combines nature-inspired design with technology to address a growing global issue of wildfires.
