Pachube Live Feeds

1.   Sensors in the Garden- http://pachube.com/feeds/23986
2.   Geiger Counter Feeds from Fukushima, Japan- https://pachube.com/feeds/25972 
3.   Onset- https://pachube.com/feeds/12714


These three sensors, all individually influenced the work I am looking to produce for my first assessment in BENV2423. The Sensors in the Garden represent the idea that sensors can be placed around an environment to register and account for different levels of certain actions. The Onset feed furthers this as it detects motion in certain areas within a house, so I have combined both these two feeds to create motion detector sensors in an outdoor environment. Lastly, as Nuclear Weapons are becoming a technology that most countries in the world are able to find and use, I thought about the idea of Nuclear Warfare, there were no feeds for uranium mining or nuclear reactors so I chose one on Radiation to represent the idea of Nuclear Warfare.
