In the maritime disaster, the most challenging thing for people is that how to survive in such wicked environment. From the research shows that, keep victims’ temperature is extremely important. At 0° C, people only last 15 min, at 5° C, will become 3 hours, if its above 15 ° C, victims can survive almost 10 hours. Compare to other disasters, maritime disaster has its own difficulty of surviving, most of the time victims are in the sea, they hard to find pure water and gathering food, and from the research, people can survive for 7 days without food, but without water, people can only last 3 days. Therefore water is an important issue.The product I designed is focus on the area of food supply, which allows the people carry their food and water in a convenient way.
Life-saving box Aim: allows people to carry food and water, which keep them basic need supplemented.Features: light weight, hand free, convenient, self buoyant.The life-saving box is formed by two parts, the box and the base. The box is made of PET, which allows water filled in the middle section of the box, and two sides which contains the energy bar, and life saving applicants, such as touch, personal belonging. To make sure the box is water proof, firstly, for the two sides, I inspirited the idea of lunch box, on the lid of box, and there has a silicon seal, which compress the air, and blocking the water. Secondly, for the water container, there has a straw, which allows people easy to drink water, especially when people floating in the sea. And it contains 2L water which last 4~5 days. The base are made by EVA, which allows to support the box floating, and it has good ability of water proof and light in weight.Lift-saving box are normally placed next to lift vest, or mounted on the wall.
