OMG!!! you're in College to be an engineer? can i seriously have your fucking babies!?! Stop being such a cocky fuck. It sounds like an interesting product, but you and you goddamn genious professors should probably do a shit load of real research, not just look at avalanche and material statistics and make something that in theory might work. You can't go around claiming that something will 100% save someones life, that kind of makes you liable. and its just stupid. you don't know how many different circumstances can result from getting stuck in an avalanche. and patents don't do shit anymore, don't even bother. black diamond or mountain hardware will just tweak your design a little bit and sell a knock off. Even if you do patent it and they copy you, your patents no good until it holds up in court, so you better be ready to pay some lawyer fees. I think the idea is good and i would be interested in seeing what you have, but chill out on this 'Im in engineering school, worship me' bullshit. The best outdoor equipment out there didn't come from people in a class room doing a project, it comes from skier and mountaineers with experience and who have technical know-how. You better make it as good as you can possibly make it before your start making people have a false sense of security in the backcountry, and thats what this product will do, because you're fucking with lives with this product.
