This is a world-changing invention.

Ovo što vidite je izum koji je promenio svet.
00:21
The smoke alarm has saved perhaps hundreds of thousands
1
21330
3000
Detektor dima je verovatno spasio stotine hiljada
00:24
of lives, worldwide.
2
24330
2000
života širom sveta.
00:26
But smoke alarms don't prevent fires.
3
26330
4000
Ali detektori dima ne mogu sprečiti požar.
00:30
Every year in the USA, over 20,000 are killed or injured
4
30330
3000
U SAD svake godine ima više od 20 000 poginulih ili povređenih
00:33
with 350,000 home fires.
5
33330
2000
u 350 000 kućnih požara.
00:35
And one of the main causes of all these fires is electricity.
6
35330
4000
A jedan od glavnih uzroka svih ovih požara je struja.
00:39
What if we could prevent electrical fires
7
39330
3000
Šta ako bismo mogli da sprečimo požare izazvane strujom
00:42
before they start?
8
42330
2000
pre nego što započnu?
00:44
Well, a couple of friends and I figured out how to do this.
9
44330
3000
Par mojih prijatelja i ja smo smislili način na koji da ovo izvedemo.
00:47
So how does electricity ignite residential fires?
10
47330
4000
Dakle, kako struja izaziva stambene požare?
00:51
Well it turns out that the main causes
11
51330
2000
Ispostavilo se da su glavni uzroci
00:53
are faulty and misused appliances and electrical wiring.
12
53330
3000
neispravni i nepravilno korišćeni kućni aparati i električne instalacije.
00:56
Our invention had to address all of these issues.
13
56330
4000
Naš izum je morao da reši sve ove probleme.
01:00
So what about circuit breakers?
14
60330
2000
A šta je sa osiguračima?
01:02
Well, Thomas Edison invented the circuit breaker in 1879.
15
62330
4000
Tomas Edison je izumeo osigurač 1879. godine.
01:06
This is 130-year-old technology,
16
66330
3000
Ovo je tehnologija stara 130 godina
01:09
and this is a problem, because over 80 percent
17
69330
3000
i ona predstavlja problem zato što preko 80 procenata
01:12
of all home electrical fires
18
72330
2000
svih kućnih požara
01:14
start below the safety threshold of circuit breakers.
19
74330
3000
počinje ispod granice zaštite osigurača.
01:17
Hmmm ...
20
77330
2000
Hmmm...
01:19
So we considered all of this. And we realized
21
79330
2000
Dakle mi smo sve ovo uzeli u obzir i zaključili
01:21
that electrical appliances
22
81330
2000
da električni uređaji
01:23
must be able to communicate directly
23
83330
2000
moraju biti u mogućnosti da komuniciraju direktno
01:25
with the power receptacle itself.
24
85330
2000
sa samom utičnicom.
01:27
Any electrical device -- an appliance, an extension cord, whatever --
25
87330
4000
Bilo kakva električna naprava - aparat, produžni kabl, bilo šta -
01:31
must be able to tell the power outlet,
26
91330
2000
moraju biti sposobni da kažu utičnici:
01:33
"Hey, power outlet,
27
93330
2000
"Hej utičnice,
01:35
I'm drawing too much current. Shut me off now, before I start a fire."
28
95330
4000
vučem previše struje. Ugasi me odmah, pre nego što izazovem požar."
01:39
And the power outlet needs to be smart enough to do it.
29
99330
4000
A utičnica mora biti dovoljno pametna da to obavi.
01:43
So here is what we did. We put a 10-cent digital transponder,
30
103330
5000
Uradili smo ovo. Stavili smo digitalni predajnik od 10 centi,
01:48
a data tag, in the appliance plug.
31
108330
3000
oznaku podatka, u utikač uređaja.
01:51
And we put an inexpensive, wireless data reader inside the receptacle
32
111330
4000
A u utičnicu smo stavili jeftin bežični čitač podataka
01:55
so they could communicate.
33
115330
2000
kako bi mogli da komuniciraju.
01:57
Now, every home electrical system
34
117330
2000
Svaki kućni električni sistem
01:59
becomes an intelligent network.
35
119330
3000
sada postaje inteligentna mreža.
02:02
The appliance's safe operating parameters
36
122330
2000
Parametri za bezbedan rad uređaja
02:04
are embedded into its plug.
37
124330
3000
su usađeni u njegov utikač.
02:07
If too much current is flowing,
38
127330
2000
Ako protiče previše struje,
02:09
the intelligent receptacle turns itself off,
39
129330
2000
inteligentni priključak se isključuje
02:11
and prevents another fire from starting.
40
131330
3000
i sprečava nastajanje požara.
02:14
We call this technology EFCI,
41
134330
2000
Ovu tehnologiju zovemo EPGK (EFCI) -
02:16
Electrical Fault Circuit Interrupter.
42
136330
3000
Električni prekidač grešaka na kolu.
02:19
Okay, two more points. Every year in the USA,
43
139330
2000
Još dve stvari. Svake godine u SAD,
02:21
roughly 2,500 children
44
141330
3000
oko 2500 dece
02:24
are admitted to emergency rooms for shock and burn injuries
45
144330
3000
dolazi u sobe za hitne slučajeve zbog povreda nastalih od strujnih udara i opekotina
02:27
related to electrical receptacles. And this is crazy.
46
147330
4000
koje su povezane sa električnim priključcima. Ovo nije normalno.
02:31
An intelligent receptacle prevents injuries
47
151330
3000
Inteligentni priključak sprečava povrede
02:34
because the power is always off,
48
154330
2000
jer je struja uvek isključena
02:36
until an intelligent plug is detected. Simple.
49
156330
4000
dok se ne otkrije inteligentni utikač. Jednostavno.
02:40
Now, besides saving lives,
50
160330
2000
Osim spašavanja života,
02:42
perhaps the greatest benefit of intelligent power
51
162330
2000
možda najveća prednost inteligentne struje
02:44
is in its energy savings.
52
164330
2000
je u njenoj štednji.
02:46
This invention will reduce global energy consumption
53
166330
3000
Ovaj izum će smanjiti svetsku potrošnju energije
02:49
by allowing remote control and automation
54
169330
3000
jer će dozvoliti udaljenu kontrolu i automatizaciju
02:52
of every outlet in every home and business.
55
172330
3000
svake utičnice u svakom domu i lokalu.
02:55
Now you can choose to reduce your home energy bill
56
175330
3000
Sada možete smanjiti svoj kućni račun za struju
02:58
by automatically cycling heavy loads
57
178330
2000
kroz automatsko podešavanje velikih potrošača
03:00
like air conditioners and heaters.
58
180330
3000
poput klime i grejalice.
03:03
Hotels and businesses can shut down unused rooms
59
183330
3000
Hoteli i firme mogu da isključe prazne sobe
03:06
from a central location, or even a cell phone.
60
186330
3000
iz centralne baze ili čak sa mobilnog telefona.
03:09
There are 10 billion electrical outlets
61
189330
3000
Postoji 10 milijardi električnih utičnica
03:12
in North America alone.
62
192330
2000
samo u Severnoj Americi.
03:14
The potential energy savings is very, very significant.
63
194330
4000
Potencijalna ušteda energije je veoma, veoma bitna.
03:18
So far we've applied for 414 patent claims.
64
198330
4000
Za sada smo se prijavili za 414 patenata.
03:22
Of those, 186 have been granted:
65
202330
3000
Od toga je odobreno 186,
03:25
228 are in process.
66
205330
2000
228 je u postupku.
03:27
And I'm pleased to announce that just three weeks ago
67
207330
3000
Zadovoljstvo mi je da objavim da smo pre samo tri nedelje
03:30
we received our first international recognition,
68
210330
3000
prvi put priznati na međunarodnom nivou,
03:33
the 2009 CES Innovation Award.
69
213330
4000
nagradom CES za inovaciju za 2009.
03:37
So, to conclude,
70
217330
2000
Kao zaključak,
03:39
intelligent power can, globally, save thousands of lives,
71
219330
4000
inteligentna struja može globalno da spasi hiljade života,
03:43
prevent tens of thousands of injuries,
72
223330
2000
spreči desetine hiljada povreda
03:45
and eliminate tens of billions of dollars in property damage
73
225330
4000
i eliminiše desetine milijardi dolara u šteti nanesenoj imovini
03:49
every single year,
74
229330
2000
svake godine,
03:51
while significantly reducing global energy consumption.
75
231330
3000
dok značajno smanjuje svetski utrošak energije.
03:54
In the spirit of this year's TED Conference,
76
234330
2000
U duhu ovogodišnje TED konferencije,
03:56
we think this is a powerful, world-changing invention.
77
236330
3000
mislimo da je ovo moćan izum koji će promeniti svet.
03:59
And I'd like to thank Chris for this opportunity
78
239330
3000
Želeo bih da zahvalim Krisu za ovu priliku
04:02
to unveil our technology with you, and soon the world.
79
242330
3000
da ovu tehnologiju otkrijemo vama, a uskoro i svetu.
04:05
Thank you.
80
245330
1000
Hvala vam.
04:06
