SENSOR BLANKET

1. Sensor blanket is the highly modernized form of blanket which can be used to
wrap human body in cold season. It produces heat using electricity and by HEAT
SENSATIVE sensor it automatically maintains temperature 37 C (98.6 F) i.e. it only
maintains the temperature as that of normal body temperature of human body. It is
portable and can produce heat by charged battery as well as direct connecting to
electricity (DC).
2. This is an innovative idea because it only maintains temperature 37 C, neither
more nor lesser than 37C and solve the threats of common people by maintaining
temperature which are essential in our body.
3. Most of the family in Nepal are in average income level so all people cannot
afford AC and it will cheaper than other devices as well as, consume so much lesser
electricity. It is portable hence there is huge market in Nepal.

5. Population of NEPAL
30,430,267(July 2013 A.D.). So if only 1% people believe
and purchase our product 3 lakh unit may sell and if get success it may several

times in coming year. If we get international market we can export our product to
INDIA (1,261,527,930 ; worlds second largest population; 2013 A.D).
