Isingeniso
I-U Safe iyi-lifebuoy yesi-Portuguese eziqhuba yona elawulwa kude emise okwe-U. Izibuyekezo kuze kube manje zigxile emanzini ayisicaba kanye nama-surf, ngakho-ke sisebenzise ithuba ukubona ukuthi lenze kanjani emanzini ezikhukhula (Ikilasi III+).
Izici
-> 800m ububanzi bokuzulazula (okulungile umugqa wokubona)
- 5.9 km (3.2 nM) ububanzi
- 13.7 kg (30.14 lb) isisindo
- 15 km/h (8 amafindo)
- 960 x 780 x 255mm ubukhulu
Kalula Yokusebenzisa
Ukusebenzisa isilawuli kude kuqondile: phambili (kanye nesivinini), kwesokunxele, kwesokudla. Abantu abajwayele ama-console amageyimu noma ama-drones bazojwayela ngokushesha idivayisi. Ngokuphawulekayo, uma i-buoy iphenduka, ikhombisa ngokuzenzakalelayo ukusetha kabusha umumo wayo nesilawuli ngokusebenzisa isici sayo esinelungelo lobunikazi “Phenya futhi Hambisa”. Yivule, uyiphonse emanzini, bese uqala ukusebenzisa isilawuli—kulula kanjalo.
Ukusebenza
I-U Safe isebenziseka kalula futhi isebenza kahle kakhulu emanzini ayisicaba, ivumela ukusebenza kuze kufike lapho iso lingabona khona. Ibonise amandla okubuyisa kokubili isisulu kanye nomhlengi (manikin) ngaphandle kobunzima obukhulu. Saze sayidonsa ngisho nesileyi esincane esiphefumulayo bese ithwala intambo emanzini. Emanzini azolile, yahlangabezana nokulindelwe ngaphandle kokumangala.
Kodwa-ke, ukuhlola kwangempela bekusesimweni samanzi ezikhukhula, indawo lapho ukusebenza kwedivayisi kuhlale kungaqinisekile. Nakuba kwakukhona amavidiyo amaningi abonisa ukusetshenziswa kwawo emanzini ayisicaba kanye nezindawo zasolwandle ezinemisinga egelezayo, amanzi ezikhukhula aletha izinselele eziyingqayizivele. Ukuze sihlole amandla ayo, siwufake ku-Class III+ Rapids epaki ye-Vector Wero whitewater e-Auckland.
Esimeni sethu sokuqala, sisebenzisa idivayisi engenamuntu ngaphansi kwesilawuli kude, yazulazula kuma-rapids Ekilasi III kuyilapho ibekezelela amagagasi nokuphenduka njalo. Ngenxa yesici sokuzilungisa ngokuzenzakalela se-buoy esithi “Flip and Move”, singaqhubeka kalula sisebenza naphezu kokuphenduphenduka. Okwaba sobala ukuthi lowo osebenzisa amanzi kwadingeka akwazi ukusebenzisa imisinga yamanzi ukuze azuze, asebenzise ama-engeli esikebhe, nokuqonda i-hydrology, konke okwakhulisa ukusebenza kahle kwedivayisi. Siyisebenzise ngempumelelo ukuthwala ulayini wokuhlenga amanzi ongu-8mm ngaphesheya kwesiteshi.
Ezimweni zokugeleza eziyinselelo enkulu, yenze kahle kodwa ayikwazanga ukukhuphuka ikhuphuke, okuwumsebenzi okungenzeka ukuthi ngisho nama-kayaker anekhono noma amapulangwe angadonsa kanzima. Ngenkathi sizama ukuphinda, ulwazi lwethu olulinganiselwe kungenzeka lube yisici esikhawulelayo. Ukuhlola ukufaneleka kwaso ekubuyiseni isisulu esinolwazi oluncane lwamanzi ukusuka kolunye uhlangothi, sibeke uchwepheshe wokuhlenga amanzi ezikhukhula kudivayisi, nomunye u-opharetha ogwini olulawulayo. Ndawonye, basebenze ngokuphumelelayo, lapho uchwepheshe wangaphakathi emanzini enikeza ukukhahlela nokulungisa isimo somzimba wabo, kuyilapho u-opharetha ozinze ogwini edlulisela ukuqhutshwa okwengeziwe ngamamotho kagesi. Kodwa-ke, ngokuhlukaniswa, bobabili babe nezinselelo zabo, begqamisa amandla edivayisi lapho besetshenziswa ngokuhlangana.
Elinye iphutha eliphawulekayo kwaba ukubambezeleka kwesilawuli kude, okwathi, nakuba kungabalulekile emanzini anganyakazi, kubangele izinselele emanzini ezikhukhula, ikakhulukazi njengoba idivayisi yayihambahamba e-eddies. Amasekhondi ambalwa okulibaziseka angasho umehluko phakathi kokudonselwa ekugelezeni noma ukuphuthelwa isikhathi esifanele sokujika. Sawela phansi izikhathi ezimbalwa, futhi inketho yokuhlehla ibingaba usizo esikhundleni sokuncika ekuqhumeni kwamandla ukuze sibuyisele idivayisi. Isizathu sokubambezeleka, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungenxa yamanzi afakwe umoya athinta isiginali yesilawuli noma ezinye izici, ibingacacile.
Uma ihloselwe ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ezikhukhula, izosebenza kangcono ezandleni zikachwepheshe onolwazi wamanzi ezikhukhula. Izinguqulo zesikhathi esizayo kufanele zicabangele ukufaka izilawuli ezibanjeni zedivayisi ukuze zisebenze endaweni kuyilapho kugcinwa isilawuli kude. Amandla engeziwe, afinyeleleka ngamabhethri esizukulwane esilandelayo namamotho, angayenza ibe inketho esebenziseka kakhudlwana yokuhlenga amanzi ezikhukhula ngokumelene nemisinga enamandla.
Isisindo sedivayisi (13.7 Kg) sivumela ukuthwala nokusebenza kalula komuntu oyedwa. Isebenza kahle kakhulu ezindaweni zamanzi amile, ikwenze ilungele amachibi, amachibi, amachibi, nemifula ezolile noma amanzi ezikhukhula axegayo. Kungase futhi kube ithuluzi elibalulekile labaqhubi bezokutakula emoyeni eligxile ekuwineni ababhukudi emanzini. Amapulatifomu angasogwini angazuza ekusetshenzisweni kwawo okusheshayo uma kuqhathaniswa neqembu le-IRB.
Amaprosesa asekelwe
Okuthathayo kwe-U Safe kanye nebhethri langaphakathi kulula ukukususa nokusebenza njengoba kudingeka, nakuba imfuneko evame kakhulu ukuvele ushaje ibhethri ngeshaja yokungeniswa, okungadingi amathuluzi. Inethiwekhi yabasabalalisi ibisabela futhi inikeze isevisi yamakhasimende enhle. Idivayisi ihlanganisa iwaranti yeminyaka emibili.
Inani leMali
Idivayisi inenani elilinganiselwa ku-USD$10,000. Ukuthi inikeza inani elihle lemali kuncike ekutheni uhlose ukuyisebenzisa kanjani. Ngenani elifanayo, umuntu angathenga i-IRB enenjini ekwazi ukuhlenga izisulu eziningi ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ngakho-ke, inani layo liyi-subjective futhi lincike ezidingweni zakho ezithile kanye nesimo sokusebenzisa.
Ukucatshangelwa Kwezomthetho
Isimo sokulawula se-U Safe asikacaci emazweni ahlukahlukene. Ngomongo wase-New Zealand, akuqinisekwa ukuthi i-U Safe ingena ngaphansi kwencazelo yomkhumbi wezohwebo, uma kubhekwa ukuhamba kwawo kwezimoto nokusetshenziswa kwawo ukuthutha abantu. Abasebenzisi kufanele bafune iseluleko sabo sezomthetho mayelana nanoma yiziphi izimfuneko zokulawula ezingase zisebenze. Ukuthola ukukhululwa noma ukugunyazwa kokusetshenziswa kwayo kungase kudingeke.
Izinzuzo
- Ukuthwala nokusebenza komuntu oyedwa
– I-opharetha ihlala ingekho emanzini ngesikhathi sokuhlenga
- Izidingo zokuqeqeshwa eziphansi (ezincane)
- Iqinile futhi ikwazi ukumelana nomthelela
- I-buoyant kakhulu
- Isilawuli esizilungisa ngokuzenzakalelayo kudivayisi ephenyisiwe
- Okungenzeka ukuyisebenzisela ukuthatha intambo/iluphu uye naseduze nesithiyo esiphakathi nomfudlana ukuze unikeze ukufinyelela
- Amathuba okuwusebenzisa ukuze ukhiphe ulayini we-pendulum ohlangothi olulodwa (okungukuthi, bamba isiteshi phakathi nomzila nolayini obuyela ogwini)
- Uyakwazi ukuyisa i-PPE kuzisulu
Okumbi
- Izindleko
- Ukusebenza okungaqinisekisiwe ezimeni zangempela zamanzi ezikhukhula
- I-remote control lag
– Amandla anganele wokusindisa amanzi ezikhukhula afaka izisulu kanye/noma abatakuli
- Uhlaka lokulawula olungacacile oluzosetshenziswa
- Awukho umsebenzi wokuhlehla
Isiphetho
I-U Safe iwumkhiqizo omuhle kakhulu wokuphepha emanzini ezindaweni zamanzi ayisicaba. Nakuba singenabo ubungcweti bezimo zama-surf ukuze sihlole ukusebenza kwawo endaweni enjalo, kunesithembiso sezimo zamanzi ezikhukhula. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe, okuhlanganisa ukuqhathanisa nemikhiqizo efanayo njenge-OceanAlpha Dolphin1, kuyadingeka. Ekuhloleni kwami kokuqala, idivayisi yesizukulwane esilandelayo enamandla anyusiwe ingaba isishintshi segeyimu esidingekayo ukuze kutakulwe amanzi ezikhukhula. Okwamanje, iyisengezo esibalulekile ebhokisini lamathuluzi, nakuba ukucatshangelwa kwezomthetho kufanele kucatshangelwe.
