Compass designed to avert sea collisions by P P O'Brien
New York electrician P P O'Brien claims a self contained compass system can prevent ship collisions. The device uses a 24 inch diameter compass with a magnetic field extended by a 10 foot long iron magnet and ship's dynamo to detect approaching vessels within six miles. Alarm bells trigger when another ship enters the field, while brass fencing around the compass shields from magnetic interference.
