Search for Riddhi, remote controlled 'lifeguard' will save a person who is drowning in water

Once again, a big vision from a small town has caught the attention of the world of science. Riddhi Paliwal, a talented student from Nathdwara, has created an innovative project that can be a ray of hope in water related accidents. Riddhi has created a smart device called Remote-Controlled Lifeguard, which can bring a drowning person to safe shore within seconds. This project has now been selected for the state level science exhibition. An example of hard work and innovation, Riddhi Paliwal presented this model in the Science Exhibition of District Education Authority organized at Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Sector 11, Udaipur. The judges selected this project in the first category at the district level, after which it will now represent Rajasthan in the state level exhibition. Riddhi said that he was inspired to create this project after seeing the data of drowning deaths in lakes and rivers in the news. He thought that if there was a machine that could quickly get to a drowning person, many lives could be saved. How does ‘Remote Controlled Lifeguard’ work? Riddhi’s model is completely remote controlled. It has two waterjet propellers that propel the device through the water. Its maximum speed is up to 10 knots per second, making it many times faster than a traditional lifeboat. Special features: Flashing fog lights with high penetration: It is therefore visible from afar, even at night or in fog. Metal Shield Protection: Propellers are encased in metal casings, which prevent injury. Capacity to carry two people: In case of emergency, it can safely swim two people to the shore. Remote automatic stop system: The device automatically slows down as soon as a person reaches a safe place. Share this story Tags
