Now, because I've got a project called #TEOSS [gd0037] that will see me walking at elevated speeds, Moonwalkers inventor (a walk assist solution like TEOSS that's currently on Kickstarter) started to mine for a solution after almost colliding with a car on is scooter, and because this is a helmet which would be hard to transport in #TetInventory [gd0039], I'd very much like to know about and integrate safety features into TyMist. Just because certification is unlikely doesn't mean I shouldn't try and make projects safer.
Initial expectations:
High visibility
Helmet needs to be secured by an under-chin strap when in transit to prevent it from falling off
Shocks need to be safely absorbed.
Helmet needs to be able to slide.
Initial mental simulation findings:
High helmet diameter may result in higher moment forces on neck.
A front crash may slide the visor out, causing it to only be supported on one side.
The discontinuous edge between the cylinder and flat top face may be caught on rough terrain instead of allowing the helmet to slide across.
The floor or collision object will initially be an impact, but it is most likely that I'd have enough momentum to slide across the floor afterwards.
Seems I'm thinking along the right lines with the 3 mentioned bullet points of CPSC.
Mental simulation result from implementing the understanding of MIPS:
"Wow. It works."
Expected moments on the head and neck have noticably decreased.
The fact that TyMist is a cylinder may already help in this regard.
A filleted chamfer on the top edge is expected to increase helmets ability to slide across the floor substantially.
Right now, I've got inverted colours enabled. Hackaday looks pretty cool with an off-white and blue colour scheme.
The MIPS system may also reduce the forces felt on the head when rotating during normal virtual monitor use, and could even be a mechanical way of keeping the monitor view looking semi-stationary when turning to the next virtual monitor.
Sounds like they get speed gains from a flexible vat. Perhaps the #SecSavr Suspense [gd0105] could be faster than expected.
Simulation warning: Impact with nose on combiner
This combiner was already throwing a solution warning because of the fact that it's dark all the time.
In an infinite possibilities world, the combiner would actually be a probably-non-existant pane that can be PWM driven between very reflective and very transparent, or some other way to electrically obtain different reflectance values.
