We've all been there; on the phone, on the verge of breaking the meaning of life during the daily commute when your train hits a tunnel and your signal cuts out. We can send a man to the moon, but we still cant send an SMS from on the Tube.

While most 16 year olds are out learning the hard way the shortcomings of binge drinking, the teenage inventor has spent his spare time creating a revolutionary low-frequency radio that can send text messages from deep underground.
It's been tested as deep as the depths of a 946 foot cave, and looks set to become an essential tool for rescuers searching for caving enthusiasts who may have been a little too adventurous for their own good.
