  • Rip current sensor and warning system with anchor
    Patent number: 9165453
    Abstract: A rip current can include a dangerous flow of water from an area proximate to a beach out to deeper water. An apparatus for generating a rip current warning indication includes an anchor device situated in the water, a flow sensor affixed to the anchor device and monitoring a water current speed, and a warning device in signal communication with the flow sensor. The warning device includes a control module comparing the monitored water current speed to a water current speed threshold. The warning device generates the rip current warning indication based upon the comparing.
