LongReach : Portable Buoyancy Deployment System

Water accident happens all the time. Unfortunately even thought with great rescue systems we have at the moment, sometimes, they are unable to reach the victim in a timely fashion. For this reason, Samuel Adeloju, an industrial designer, designed “Longreach”. It is a portable water-activated conveyance system that turns into a buoyancy device to help victims from drowning situation. This device is designed to help victims to remain buoyant while rescue personnel prepare the appropriate response to the situation. Once this rescue unit contacts the water, it uses hydrophobic or rapidly expanding foam to provide buoyancy. This allows the package to be vastly smaller in size than any currently existing buoyancy device.

The project is designed in three components; the rescue package, the propulsion system and the storage mount.
The rescue package uses hydrophobic or rapidly expanding foam to provide buoyancy once the package contacts the water. This allows the package to be vastly smaller in size than any currently existing buoyancy device. To reach the victim a very simple range-finder is implemented to significantly improve rescue package accuracy. The propulsion system uses a low yield butane-oxygen mix propelling the device to target up to 150m.
Equipped with a light for attracting attention, the shape of the rescue package also allows it to whistle when traveling through the air, aiding in directional trajectory perception. The system is stored in a wall mount similar to a fire extinguisher and is equipped with Para-flares for night-time illumination and distress signaling.

Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
thanx...try to look on my link...i just copy them (articles)from other sources...just for good purpose...thanx by the way...

Mimpi-mimpi benua Eropa dari Paris Motor Show

Mondial de l'Automobile 2012: Concept Cars Mimpi-mimpi benua Eropa dari Paris Motor Show Oleh Evan Orensten pada 3 Oktober 2012 Paris motor show 2012 mempersembahkan dan memaksa para pembuat mobil untuk melenturkan kembali otot-otot desain mereka pada bukan hanya pada sisi produksi tapi juga dalam hal berkonsep. Inilah dia 7 model favorit yang dianggap cukup mewakili imajinasi bangsa-bangsa Eropa. Peugeot Onyx Sebuah konsep yang nyata—hadir untuk menjadi topik pembicaraan, namun nampaknya tidak akan diproduksi dalam waktu dekat ini.—Peugeot's Onyx   terbuat dari bahan tembaga, serat karbon, dan daur ulang koran. The Onyx dibayangkan menjelma menjadi supercar hybrid yang super ringan, namun dibekali mesin V8 demi melejitkan 600 tenaga kuda. Peugeot juga berkiblat lebih jauh lagi, dengan tidak hanya menhabiskan waktu di automobile tapi juga menggugah eksplorasi di dunia transportasi dua roda. eDL 132 disinyalir ditempel oleh batere tersembunyi dan mo...

Tibi & Dabo Robots For Public Spaces

Tibi and Dabo are 2 cute robots designed to provide a wide range of services to citizens in Barcelona’s public spaces. The final shape of Tibi & Dabo came from different conceptualization and development techniques, such as surveys, sociological, iconicity pyramids, and ethnographical tools. These robots are the result from collaboration between the School of Design ESDi and the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), who coordinated the European, funded URUS Project (Ubiquitous Networking Robotics in Urban Settings). Tibi & Dabo are here because the project URUS attempts to analyze and test the idea how robots can interact with human beings in a cooperative way. We can use robots to assist us like when we need transportation of goods or surveillance in urban areas in order to improve life quality.
