C-Thru Smoke Diving Helmet helps firefighters to see clearly in smoke-filled buildings to do rescue missions. Using their traditional firefighting equipment, they have to keep hand contact with walls or crawl on the ground while carrying heavy air support and hand held equipment, this can slow down the rescue process.
This helmet provides a wire frame vision of the interior geometry, in this way, firefighters can identify their surroundings easily and searching for victims can be done more accurately. C-Thru Smoke Diving Helmet simplifies many layers of heat and impact protection into a simpler protection package to ease the movements.

The main goal of this project was to develop an accurate way for C-Thru Smoke Diving Helmet user to see and move around in heavy smoke environment without the need of carrying extra equipments. This product has to be able to simplify many layered heat protection into one single unit as well as provides communication equipment among other rescuers. It would be easier for firefighters to wear C-Thru on their way to the fire scene. Just in case you didn’t realize, firefighters have to get dressed within 90 seconds otherwise they are left behind. So, these heroes are often wear many inaccurate and uncomfortable equipments in order to rush to rescue you. It can be very challenging to put protective inner hood, full face gas mask, heat insulated helmet, outer hood, thermal imaging device and audio communication device in only 90 seconds.
C-Thru Smoke Diving Helmet could be the future vision of fire fighting equipment. Instead of using hand written map and verbal information, fire fighters can use this helmet to navigate in and out the building. They don’t have to crawl on the ground or keep hands on the wall to find victims, simply walk or run towards the victims.
A burning building is a noisy place. Firefighters like to listen the sounds for they can provide an early warning of a collapsing sealing or a doorway. But those loud fire sounds also interfere with the communication sounds with the smoke diver leader and the team mates. C-Thru selective noise cancels the surrounding sounds and only enhances victim and pre-set cracking sounds providing a more clear communication.
With C-Thru Smoke Diving Helmet, firefighter leader doesn’t have to do guess work and fill any after reports. Everything is being recorded simultaneously. This provides improvements for the future rescue missions and better evaluation and a step towards preventing future fire accidents.
Awesome. Hope this become reality as many people die each year just because firefighters can't reach them in a fire or don't know where they are.
yeah right
How much are these?
How do I get ahold of the Inventor I have technology that would power these helmets cheap and no batteries. I am currently a fire fighter and with a couple of adds to the design and we would have a winner. Please let me know.
great drawings and great design… how much?
I wonder whether the wireless communication still works in concrete buildings, steal constructions. bassements and heavy (plastic and other material) smoke.
You still can receive cell phone service and radio frequencies in these structures so I don't see why not. Firefighters use radios in these buildings you mentioned, I think it would be possible.
And, these are not just prototypes? As in, these helmets are really available to those in the field? That would be really great. This could really save so many lives.
This is outstanding work. I love the concept and the content. I'd be very interested to learn more about how to make it and which martial is used.
This is a great accessory and innovation for our firefighters. Anything that would help them because they play an important role in saving people in an unfortunate situation.
This is very useful for all firefighters and it really helps them alot, I saw all the detail you provided and through drawing all the structure of the helmet is clear.
Sounds like an excellent idea in theory. Whether enough funding will be made available by governments to make it a reality is another question. I hope these helmets are embraced by governments, because they look like they have the potential to save a lot of lives.
What a great idea, lets hope it makes it into production. Many lives could be saved using this technology.
These helmets really seem like a boon for firefighters.
Seriously cool stuff.

The performance of C-Thru smoke diving helmet is awesome! I’ve preferred to buy it but want to know is the product is innovated still now. Thanks a lot!

Nice design, could do wonders for firefighters
How much are these?
If there was ever an invention that needed to be a reality, this is the one.
The future for these helmets is now if it will save lives. Let’s get it done!
This driving helmet can really be helpful. Wearing helmet can save lives and can reduce the extent of potential injuries.
Hope this idea becomes standard as it could potentially save a lot of lives.
great helmet for the fire fighters while on Duty. that's how we always use it then
It sounds too good to be true. Is it just me, or it reminds me of the Batman tech-glasses from the second movie in the trilogy?
