Is this paper helmet really strong?
Do not know if you like Xiao Bian, riding a bicycle to work every day? In recent years, the concept of shared bicycles has been blooming all over the world. More and more people have begun to choose green bicycles as the main means of transportation.
But did you make it? According to the findings of the American Bicycle Helmet Safety Research Institute, more than 800 cyclists lost their lives on the U.S. highways in 2015. Public data from the Department of Transport in the UK also shows that there were more than 3,200 serious bicycle accidents in the UK in 2015. Therefore, when it comes to riding a bicycle, traveling safety is definitely a problem that cannot be escaped.
According to a study of 64,000 bicycle accidents by the University of New South Wales, Australia, wearing a bicycle helmet will reduce the probability of severe head trauma by 70%. Therefore, helmets are often the most important and last line of defense against head injuries when riding an accident.
Goose, most of the children's shoes in life, when riding a bicycle, did not wear safety helmets, some too heavy helmets, some worried about their own spoiled hair, some feel too much trouble, and some children obviously have Helmets are often forgotten to bring, for whatever reason, this will bring great security risks.
Now it's all right~ These problems have been solved. Check out the EcoHelmet just got the 2016 James Dyson Award.
EcoHelmet, as the name implies, means the meaning of an environmental helmet. Yes, you see it right. This helmet is made of paper.
It is a paper folding helmet designed by Isis Shiffer shoes from the Pratt Institute of Design in New York.
The designer himself is also a cycling enthusiast. She has long noticed the safety hazards that everyone has overlooked, and thus has the idea of ​​designing this folding helmet.
Here's how Isis shoes are showing us how to wear this helmet~
She has confirmed the feasibility and practical value of this honeycomb paper helmet through repeated experiments and sufficient data.
First of all, EcoHelmet is made from recycled, biodegradable paper materials, pre-sell for only $5 and will be sold at shared bike sites. Eco-friendly materials allow EcoHelmet to launch on a large scale without bringing too much pollution to the environment.
When it's put together with a regular helmet is sauce purple:
You may ask, what will happen if you wear this paper helmet and it rains? The problem is that the paper used in the EcoHelmet helmet is coated with a waterproof layer that can be used for 3 hours in the rain.
Let's talk about its second feature. EcoHelmet's unique paper structure determines that it can be folded freely. When we use it, we can turn it on by turning it on both sides.
One day after another, one day passed.
And when not in use, you can easily fold it into a "crooked crescent" and tie it with the straps of the helmet.
Then, your helmet is very easy to put into your backpack.
Let's take a look at the robustness of the EcoHelmet helmet, which may also be the most worrying issue for everyone: Does a paper helmet really protect your skull? Is it really strong?
In fact, this issue does not need to worry. During the exchange at the Imperial College of Technology in England, Isis Schiffer's children's shoes were tested several times for the robustness of EcoHelmet in the helmet crashing laboratory that reached the European standard.
Looking at the impact experiment below, we know that this paper helmet can withstand the impact of 10 pounds falling from a height of three feet, which is equivalent to the weight of an ordinary polystyrene helmet.
This is because EcoHelmet uses a unique cellular shape that can effectively disperse forces when impacted, minimizing the impact of impact on people.
Therefore, it is absolutely able to effectively resist the impact of the outside, so you step on it is useless. . .
Considering that such a helmet only requires five knives, it feels like it is worth the money. After all, we all contribute to environmental protection.
In fact, design and innovation do not mean expensive. On the contrary, sometimes it is cheaper because it will allow more people to use it.
BTW, the James Dyson Award by Isis Schiffer is one of the most influential industrial design competitions in the world. The award was established in the United Kingdom in 2004 and is led by the James Dyson Foundation. It encourages students in the College of Design and Engineering to read and graduate from university for less than 4 years and propose innovative solutions to world problems.
This is James Dyson and Isis Schiffer. Dyson said: "EcoHelmet has solved a very common problem in a very clever way. The seemingly simple design actually condenses a lot of research and hard work." Xiao Bian think this is also the reason why the $5 product can win the award.
This time, Isis Schiff won 30,000 pounds and she will use it for further improvement of the helmet. According to U.S. federal safety standards, bicycle helmets should be able to withstand the impact of falling objects equivalent to a height of 6.5 feet. This means that the product needs further testing before it can be sold in the United States. Unfortunately, there are domestic regulations in this regard. . .
However, there is also a problem with this helmet. The number of times it is used is not unlimited, and its effect will deteriorate over time, which means that users must replace it regularly.
Fortunately, the cost of replacement is very low. . .
At present, the biggest challenge faced by Isis Xifumei is that
How to convince people that paper can protect the head. . .
Come on, sister paper, we are optimistic about you~
