Nap ZapperHow big a
problem is drowsiness on our nation's highways? According to the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
drowsiness causes over 100,000 accidents per year on American
highways. These accidents result in more than 40,000 injuries and
over 1,500 deaths per year! (It is widely recognized that
"drowsiness" is underreported, thus the true figures are probably
much higher.) |
Have you ever driven a car or truck when you could
barely keep your eyes open? If you're like most people, you have... and
probably more often than you'd care to admit. Now there is a way to
prevent the potential tragedy of falling asleep behind the wheel. The
Nap Zapper device can save your life, the lives of your passengers, and
others on the road (not to mention the expense of medical care and
vehicle repair.)
The revolutionary Nap Zapper Alarm sits comfortably on
your right ear. If you start to doze off while driving, the alarm will
sound and wake you and your passengers immediately. The Nap Zapper works
on the principle of electronic balance and does not interfere with
normal movements in the car--the alarm sounds only when the driver's
head nods forward in drowsiness... simple but effective. It gives out sound at the preset
angle. If the driver's head drops forward far enough, the alarm goes off.
This position at which the alarm will sound can be adjusted. For example, if your
normal driving posture is with eyes and chin pointed down, the device can be set
to tolerate that, but will sound off if the chin drops below a certain point.
A gravity switch inside the alarm monitors the angle of the driver's head. The Nap Zapper is about the size of an external hearing aid and weighs about 16g. It fits snugly around one ear and will stay in place even when glasses are worn.
Uses one 6 volt alkaline battery (included).
