Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Smart Gaswatch Keeps Track of the Propane in Your Tank

— August 29, 2014 — Lifestyle
There's nothing more annoying than hosting a barbecue, having a bunch of people over, marinating delicious meats to throw on the grill and then discovering that you're out of propane; with the Smart Gaswatch though, that won't be a problem because it monitors the amount of propane in your tank and estimates how much grilling time you have.

The Smart Gaswatch doesn't need to be stuck inside the tank or along the hose, but actually uses a weighing scale. Users have to input the tank's weight, allowing the device to figure out how much of the weight is down to the tank and how much represents the propane inside.

The device has a small meter that displays the percentage of gas available and an estimate of how much cooking time is available. The device is available for just $29.99.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Gas Monitoring - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced gas monitoring devices that use smart technology to track gas levels and estimate usage.
2. Weighing Scale Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of weighing scale technology in various industries to accurately measure and monitor quantities of liquids or substances.
3. Remote Cooking Control - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create devices or systems that allow users to remotely monitor and control cooking processes for convenience and efficiency.
Industry Implications

3. Smart Home Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smart cooking control systems that integrate with existing smart home technology to provide seamless remote monitoring and control capabilities.
