The ProDowser -- Do ONE Thing and Do It Well!
In 2005 our University's Theatre program did a production of The Tempest the required two projectors and two dowsers... The projectors we were able to find in state surplus...Dowsing was a different story. The dowsing equipment that was available at the time would have eaten our entire scenic and lighting budget. Our solution involved cardboard, gaff tape,

paint poles and a pair of freshmen with very strong shoulders.
The next production that required Dowsing was in a VERY small theatre with no room in the grid for the freshman. After several attempts at a variety of solutions including" the ol' CD tray" trick, many late nights with solder burns and toasted chips (IC's not nachos), I developed the prototype that would become the ProDowser. That first unit was DMX controlled, battery powered and very quiet; All of the demands that I had for a commercially available unit were met.
Then I decided to share the technology. I developed a strategic partnership with a PCB designer/builder in the US, secured a source for ABS Boxes, designed and built a CNC machine tool for cutting boxes and flags and put up a website.
Over the years the ProDowser has remained much the same as that first prototype with many improvements in durability, design and ease of use.
