Duck Image Studio has come up with a sexy alternative to the ubiquitous emergency sprinkler system. They have merged sprinkler and emergency lighting into one shiny, modern unit that requires no power.
The water flows into a turbine which spins the blades to fan the water onto the fire. This spinning also generates electricity which is used to power the LED lighting.
The light emitted works much like an emergency lighting system, illuminating a room to help people escape and to aid rescuers.
The downside, however, is that it could not be used as a complete replacement for emergency lighting, as it would be of no use during a black-out or some other emergency.
