Invention idea by Danny Sarsfield, age 9, recreated in 3D graphics by Andy Mattocks.
“My invention is a band that you wear when you go swimming. If you are drowning you could press the button and a bag would get filled with airby a motor so you would float and not die. The motor has a sensor so it stops when it’s full of air.” Danny Sarsfield.
The young inventor met with professional 3D product designer Andy Mattocks who asked Danny further questions about his design and how it worked. Andy then went away and produced a series of computer generated 3D visuals of the invention as shown here.
“A safety band that you wear when swimming as described by the client. The button to activate is protected by a safety cover that is easily unclipped as discussed at the client briefing. Also agreed and added is a source of air in the form of a compressed gas canister so that the device is able to fill the airbag even when under water. The look and feel of the product is similar to a GoPro camera as directed by the client.” Andy Mattocks
Update: A similar idea seems to be being made for real and looking for funding on indiegogo, check it out here.
