Bicycle helmet out of cardboard
Safety helmet Kranium designed by Royal College of art Anirudhan, Surabi (Anirudha Surabhi). According to the inventor, the helmet is not only 15% lighter than the standard counterparts, but also absorbs energy in a collision is three times more efficient, providing the cyclist with a high level of security.
The creation of the helmet, Surabi feat an accident when he fell from the bike. His helmet split and the student received a concussion. In search of the optimal variant design, the designer drew attention to the woodpecker.
A woodpecker can not be seen with the naked eye, so a quick cutting motion of his head. But the bird has no shocks, caused by sharp blows. Woodpecker is perfectly protected unique natural remedy. The bird's beak is separated from the skull bones with cartilage with corrugated structure.
A similar design and tried to reproduce Surabi in his helmet. The structure of the protective cardboard Kranium helmet inventor called D2, or Dual Density Honey Comb Board (cell combo cardboard double density).
The details of the structure are made with precision laser cutting and treated water-repellent composition. It provides high performance of the product. An additional advantage is that cardboard can be made from secondary recycled materials.
At first glance, the defence looks quite fragile. However, the numbers of indicators of reliability were quite impressive to the team of Formula 1 Force India took the decision to use technology Kranium helmets of their pilots.
Instead in whatever was to save the form under the action of impact the helmet flexes for maximum energy absorption. As a result, he puts out three times more than standard products on the basis of foamed plastics, which, moreover, 15% heavier than Kranium.
The figures obtained during the tests, which were conducted in test laboratories such as Technischer Überwachungs-Verein in Germany and Head Protection Evaluations in the UK.
On the design of the helmet spent two years. Currently, he is fully ready to enter the market. It is expected that Kranium will be on sale shortly before the new year.
