Autonomous, solar-powered tumbleweed sensors that detect flash floods before they strike—protecting desert communities 24/7.
A desert community's phone buzzes 15 minutes before disaster: "Flash flood detected in Arroyo Seco - evacuate now." They look outside and see a small device tumbling rapidly downstream, riding the leading edge of the water surge it detected first, having strategically positioned itself by rolling uphill when pressure dropped. This is RollingTumble—nature-inspired tech saving lives.
Solar-powered sensors operate 24/7 in extreme desert conditions, from scorching days to freezing nights.
Self-navigating tumbleweeds 'juggle' across vast unmapped areas where stationary infrastructure is impossible.
15-30 minute advance alerts give communities precious time to evacuate before flash floods strike.
