About the project.

Original Task

Personal Fire Escape:
Fire escape cable for office buildings using a monofilament wire that spools out at a controlled rate based on speed, not weight. Wrap a strap around your wrist, tie end to something firm (or a pre-installed cleat at certain points in the building) and jump out. Single use, so wire could be in hermitic box or molded in polymer matrix. Useful for firefighters too.


Schedule

We used a Gantt chart to manage our deadlines.
