Being in a plane or gravy holder that goes down in the ocean is a terrific prototype that no one really ever need to think about . But gratefully Kieran Normoyle , a last year design pupil , has open it some idea — pot of thought , in reality — and he ’s come up with abetter inflatable life cap designthat protects against shock and hypothermia from freezing temperatures .
His creation is be intimate as Hydros and is actually more of a life crown arrangement made up of three different constituent . At its core is a metric ton - shirt boast manually activated gel heat packs over the heart , carotid artery , jugular vena , and other vital areas that help keep the wearer ’s blood warm as it ’s pumped towards the psyche . The heat packs can maintain a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for up to eight hours , helping to stand off the effects of hypothermia .
Further protect the wearer against frigid ocean temperatures is a waterproof jacket that ferment like a wet lawsuit to immobilise eubstance hotness and provide extra insulation . And lastly the Hydros of course include a naught - up inflatable lifetime vest with an innovative offset design that serve to keep the wearer confront up — and can even automatically flip someone over to aid forbid secondary drowning where liquidity in the lungs can be fatal .
The collar , of course of action , is that the Hyrdos seems easily suited to cataclysm place where passengers and crew have enough time to by rights put the life jacket system on . It ’s all but unacceptable for it to be used in the result of a sheet crash at ocean , but for sail ship or shipping vessel this could without a doubt help economise life in the event of a disaster .
