Innovations for Natural Disasters that saves lives by Alex Szymkiewicz https://padlet.com/flytein/nx688vcriynp By Alexander Szymkiewicz (000756692) and Hussian Fakih (000772299) en-us 2018-08-09 04:17:24 UTC 2024-05-23 01:12:57 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction flytein https://padlet.com/flytein/nx688vcriynp/wish/272446193 Natural disasters are a continuous phenomena that occurs throughout the world that devastates many Countries, cities, and people. These types of phenomena's include tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, and much more (Hobart M. King, n.d.). ]]> 2018-08-09 04:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/flytein/nx688vcriynp/wish/272446193 Aid Necessities Transporter (ANT) flytein https://padlet.com/flytein/nx688vcriynp/wish/272448069
  • The ANT is an all purpose mobile transportation vehicle that is driven by a one man driver
  • The ANT is an unique transportation vehicle as it has six individiually electronical wheels that are operated to allow easy transportation across tough/rough terrain
  • It is to be used to deliver emergency supplies, temporary shelter or in immediate cases serve in rescue attempts
  • This innovation is to be used to by the United Nations (UN) to serve it's crisis management division 
  • This innovation is still within developmental stages and is expected to go into the testing stage soon

  • Idea came fro the Tsunami Wave in south east Asia 2004
  • Julian Sharpe thought about a survival capsule that save lives
  • share the idea with his colleague Scott Hill 
  • entered into the 2011 NASA contest (won 9th place)
  • Partnership with Japanese company (Toho Mercantile) through Dr. Eddie Bernard (Tsunami researcher and NOAA former member)
  • 1st Prototype in Tokyo on June 26th 2013

  • This innovation was developed by Bryan Lee 
  • Was created for the sole thought of assisting countries that were effected by large natural disasters
  • Was designed after the ant for its ability to carry large amounts of resources
  • Was designed to be lightweight and fast in order to combatant any natural disaster with ease

  • The ANT wouldn't be applicable to the Hamilton region
  • It wouldn't be as applicable in Hamilton based on its size and since it wouldn't get its true effectiveness within the area
  • The ANT would be perfect for mountainous regions in Canada such as British Columbia and Albert
  • The prime use that the ANT would have in these areas would be the transportation of goods/resources or potential assistance in rocky terrain

The best thing we can look to do is prepare the best we can for when these disaster struck. This way we are able to stay safe during the disaster or be able to respond quickly/effectively after the disaster has occurred.]]> 2018-08-09 16:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/flytein/nx688vcriynp/wish/272515671
