TheFuture — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:32:42 +0000

Emergency Helicopter is an urban means for transportation concept that is specially designed to arrive quickly and perform as a rescuer from an accident spot. The compact helicopter can make room for two doctor crews, and a space to keep the wounded where the doctors can give them immediate medical attention. The injured person can board on the helicopter from the front side and remains equipped with a camera and built-in bad landing system. Both the tail rotor and main blade is designed in a more secured way for surrounding people. This copter would be very helpful for disaster situations.

TheFuture — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:28:17 +0000

Vite is a collapsible snow stretcher aimed to rescue the injured people in the snow within the quickest possible way. The backpack shell acts as a sled and allowing an injured to be carried easily. The design intends to be opened easily and quickly in order to lessen the setting up time of the sled. The products that are available in the market are deliberated to be used by two people. But these products became much heavier which resulting a lesser speed. Vite, on the other hand, is however not a professional level rescuer, rather this product would be ideal for people living on mountains and groups of expedition for emergency situations.

Rez-Q Kayak is Not Just Simple Watercraft

TheFuture — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 08:26:40 +0000

Considering the flood rescuing issue, Rez-Q has been developed to use it in post-flood conditions where the waters became calm, but the roads are still blocked. It can be deployed by boat or helicopter and numbered to track it throughout the rescue effort. Don’t take it as a simple watercraft; the different features of Rez-Q have made it a useful relief as well. This rescuer is opened by an immediate release lever in the boat’s back and the pneumatic cylinders open the kayak. An elastic urethane material stretches out from the main hull which gives the kayak an additional 3 feet of length. This light urethane is extremely UV stable, energy absorbing and abrasion resistant.

How it works :
The Rez-Q kayak is opened by a quick release lever in the back of the boat. Once this lever is pulled, the kayak opens by pneumatic cylinders. An elastic urethane fabric stretches out of the main hull to give the kayak an extra three feet of length. This light-weight urethane is highly UV stable, abrasion resistant and energy absorbing.

Once opened, the Rez-Q has an outrigger float that provides extra stability as well as a stretcher for the injured. It also features a sail that can be tilted forward when not in use or opened up to become an on-water shelter that protects both passengers from rain or sun.
