Record Jet Suit Mountain Ascent

Рет қаралды 4,403,335

2 жыл бұрын

We proved you can scale a Lake District Mountain (3100ft Helveylln) in 3mins 30 seconds, despite very poor visibility that would have grounded a HEMS Helicopter. The Mountain Rescue foot response is over 70 minutes typically. The route was 1.2 miles and 2200ft of height gain.
This is the latest in a series of Paramedic Response Exercises to prove capability in parallel with training up real Paramedics to provide first response Critical Care in hard to reach geographies. Cardiac, breathing or blood loss cases are time critical and require rapid stabilisation to buy time for evacuation. This system, akin to the rapid response of a Paramedic on a motorbike in an urban environment, will be the difference between life and death for many critical cases.

BACKGROUND
With a rich family history in Aviation, former Oil Trader & Royal Marines Reservist, Richard Browning, founded pioneering Aeronautical Innovation company, Gravity Industries in March 2017 to launch human flight into an entirely new era.
The Gravity #JetSuit uses over 1000bhp of Jet Engine power combined with natural human balance to deliver the most intense and enthralling spectacle, often likened to the real life Ironman.
Gravity has to date been experienced by over a billion people globally and covered by virtually every media platform. The Gravity Team, based in the UK, have delivered over 100 flight & Speaking events across 30 countries including 5 TED talks.
“The team and I are delivering on the vision to build Gravity into a world class aeronautical engineering business, challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation, and inspire a generation to dare ask 'what if…”

The cool thing I see really about using the suit for this is that even if you can't carry lots of medical equipment to stabilize the injured person in the field for transport, you can carry enough to make sure they will survive long enough for the rest of the medical and rescue team to get there, like if they're bleeding out and they can't keep pressure on the wound and they might die in half an hour, you can get up there in minutes, clean and bind the injury and apply disinfectants, and then when the rest of the team gets there the pilot has got the patient mostly stabilized and hopefully more calm and with a basic diagnosis to save time on the diagnosis before further treatment can really get started.

Good stuff. As an average (well, probably below average, really) hill walker, and having climbed Helvellyn on the route just to the north of the track flown, I'm even more impressed by the foot response time of 70 minutes. If that really is the 'response time', meaning from emergency call to arrival at the summit, that's amazing - tough dudes with legs of steel, considering what they have to carry.

@EthanolTailor 2 жыл бұрын

real response time would be similar to this + the time to put the suit on, something that can be quite effectively optimised, but it is the last step in the engineering process.

@tylerolejnicak5481 Жыл бұрын

The 70 minute remark was for traditional mountain heli SAR response time. I think the point they were making is you could get someone (probably a trained medic) at the base or decently far up the mountain and strap one of these onto them and even in low vis conditions where helis might not fly the jet suit guy can. What that would mean would be a trained medic being able to ascend a mountain quickly and stabilize someone who's critically injured far quicker than waiting on a heli SAR. It would buy the victim more time than they would've had relying on just the heli rescue.

Funny story, me, my dad and a friend were descending Helvellyn via Swirral Edge, he slipped as he wasn't paying attention talking to some ladies behind him, he injured himself fairly badly but fortunately a couple of people from Wasdale mountain rescue were scrambling just behind us! him not wanting help decided to descend to Red Tarn in a lot of pain with them following and us keeping close incase he needed help, the pain being too much he stopped at the Tarn and Mountain rescue ended up getting him the GNAAS direct to Carlisle Infirmary from the Tarn while we trundled down and drove to pick him up several hours later where it was found he had broken 4 ribs, a valuable lesson in paying attention on dangerous terrain, many thanks to Wasdale Mountain Rescue for being in the right place at the right time and GNAAS.

Yes, it is nice to see a little more effort and detail in the work. It's just more rounded off. Stone engravers charged per character, the rate depending on the font type and size. The longer the message, the more money they made. It took a lot of skill and patience to make a good engraver. They tended to push for as much detail as possible to make it more worthwhile. Nowadays it's easier with CNC doing the job, but the same costing principles apply.

I can imagine a scenario where two SAR technicians head out looking for someone lost on a mountain. They find the person and relay the location to their base where a payload drone is launched autonomously to bring them medical supplies. When the drone gets close enough a SARTECH takes over flying it in manual mode to land it. The supplies are used to keep the patient alive until the weather clears or worse case, a folding stretcher is used to carry them back down. In the further future the drone might even be able to air lift the patient!

advanced electromagnetic jetpack systems exist. as of today, humanity's understanding of propulsion technology coupled with aerodynamics is unrivaled throughout history. it is likely patented behind private sector firewalls that function to prevent even the slightest of public information leaks. after all, granting an individual the ability to fly laterally in the air instead of being bound to earth on 2D plains would be revolutionary; even moreso than the internet.

I don’t think you realize what this can be used for. Military, rescue, fire, recreation. Eventually packs will b smaller arms as well

@rotor13 2 жыл бұрын

@@Stand.Your.Ground. They can't get smaller unless they're able to provide much higher amounts of thrust for the same amount of fuel and still be able to handle the heat in smaller packaging. The reason these jet packs work, is because turbines this small have existed already for at least 20 years. Someone just finally decided to use 2 turbines on each hand with a fuel tank for a backpack. To even get the pack half as small, you're looking at increasing the turbine efficiency by over 100%. In modern engineering, thats ultimately unheard of when you're talking about using fossil fuels. They have no use as a military application because they create so much noise - the enemy will hear you before you ever get close enough to start walking. And its heavy, expensive equipment that you wont be able to carry back to base without some sort of recovery team. I dont see how a squad of jet troopers would be useful. Their hands would be busy with the turbines and it would just make them easy targets to be shot out of the sky. Perhaps only to have a dedicated squad to rapidly climb some mountains to get better elevation perhaps to see into the next valley while you wait for the rest of your detachment to make it up to you on foot - but again, noise. If you've ever been hiking, you'd realize that even at far distances something as relatively quiet as a propeller plane flying at 10,000 feet can have its exhaust echo throughout the mountains. At best, they can be used for rapid rescue for a duo or trio of EMT's moving to help an injured skier or hiker, like if they were to be deployed from a Ski Lodge sitting at the base of a mountain. Especially rescuing someone who has been buried in an avalanche. They already have similar jet packs for recreation - for use in the water, either connected to a jet-ski or with its own power source. You'd have SERIOUS liability issues as a company to offer this for covering the ground.
