VMI cadets have developed an underground transmitter and portable topside receiver that will allow trapped miners to communicate with those above ground. Another group of cadets is working to commercialize this life-saving device.

There will be an interview about this project on all public radio stations in Virginia during the week of 31 October — 6 November.
