The $50 earthquake alarm that could save thousands of lives.
In September 1985 a devastating earthquake measuring 8.1 on the Richter Scale smashed into Mexico City killing 10,000 people and leaving parts of the city in ruins.
Since then, the populous Latin American nation of 122 million has invested in one of the most advanced seismic warning systems anywhere in the world.
The SASMEX facility has put in thousands of sensors all along Mexico's Pacific Ocean border.
You can now buy the reactor for about $50.
This can save several thousands of lives, even though it is in its prototype phase of creation.
