A Real Lifesaver
SOS Rescue Lifesaver Ring according to me is a completely well thought-out concept. It’s got GPS embedded into the ring that comes into play once the ring hits the water. The sea-water also helps generate electricity in the ring to power an in-built heater belt. This lifebelt will keep the victim warm and hopefully delay hypothermia. The rescue-ring also has compartments that can store small supplies of water and food. All these features collectively increase the chances of survival of a person lost at sea.

Great idea!, although unpacking the goods in the ring in open (wild) waters might be a tricky experience…

Yea great concept. well done.
yoyoMan says
Nice concept, but if I went overboard and someone threw me one of these and left me there I would very very angry, or how exactly does one get a hold of this while in the water.
ranjix says
guess is more of a “boat goes down so everybody gets something floating and jump overboard” situation.

Nice job, specially the warming element to protect from hypothermia. Will it have shark repellant?
Jon says
Impressive. This looks to be a very well thought out project. The heat element is a great idea. As Dyyami stated, it may be trouble getting the covers off to access food in rough water. It looks like those covers are fully detachable, which may be lost at sea after the first opening.

Maybe the GPS is a bad idea!? Its 50/50.. good if land is nearby, but when your lost somewhere in the middle of the pacific, do you really want to know how lost are?
Confucius says
you

I wonder if the GPS only activates when the preserver hits the water if it can sense it is around a human? Otherwise if the ship were wrecked by weather or foul play, I could see a lot of wasted energy and expense to track down an empty lifesaver….
