This has been around for a few years now, but apparently manufacturers have been unwilling to incorporate it into their existing products because it wouldn't be cost effective. Thanks guys. That's nice. Your profits over our safety. This is a perfect example of why we should use our own heads to make sure we're safe. We can't rely on governing bodies to do it for us.

Wow that is pretty amazing, I believe I heard in one of the videos that it works through conduction, so this technology would not work for steel applications, but it pretty damn cool nonetheless.
