For our second project in STEM Engineering, we were tasked with learning a new software called Fusion 360, an Autodesk program. In order to prove our knowledge of this program, we were asked to re-create a helmet, that met all safety codes, and provided adequate comfort to the user. We were given freedom to produce our own concepts of a safe helmet, and this is what I produced.
My helmet is unlike the F1 styled helmets. I designed a Fire Helmet that is able to be protect the user against rubble or debris that would normally lead to major head trauma or death. This helmet is made to decrease the acceleration of falling objects and protect the user from damage. The wearers of this protection would be in the construction, and safety fields. Wielder of this helmet should feel completely safe. It comes with several points that are designed as crumple zones, and can take most of the force from an attack or strike to the head. These points run all the way across the middle of the head, and are designated by the gray metal. This bar is also used for shock absorption, because it lines the entire skull, it acts as a deterrent. You should not feel burdened by this hat. It is extremely lightweight, and has several specifically designed curves to decrease drag and air friction. It is basically unnoticeable. The curved design is perfect for The helmet is made of a combination of metal and hard plastic. Also, in areas where the helmet comes in contact with the user's head most commonly, is soft cushion to maximize comfort. Some added features of this hat are the wide brimmed feature that is excellent for sun protection. The edges reach outwards a perfect length to block the harmful rays, and shield the most important parts of your body.
