SEAPOD

Seapod is a survival haven for anyone accidentally in the water. It is again based on the same technology, and also a concept conceived from the large oriental lily pads. No launcher is required as Seapod is designed to be thrown into the water exactly the same as with the old fashioned lifebuoy, except Sea Pod is a lot smaller and lighter.

Once seapod enters the water the outer rim inflates into a large circle, the diameter of which can range from 20 ft to 50 ft dependant on the size required. From the outer rim a series of inflatable spokes go into the centre and this supports an immensely strong membrane which is capable of holding several people dependant on the size of the pod. The outer rim again illuminates and the whole membrane is coloured bright orange.

Hand and foot holds are on the membrane to give additional support while the survivors are awaiting rescue.
