U-safe lifesaver is remote controlled. It can surf on water at a speed of 27 km / h and quickly bring people in distress to safety.
A company in Portugal has just made a fever with its latest design. It is a smart lifebuoy called U-Safe. This remote-controlled float can swim to the exact location of the victim to bring them to shore.

The design is simple but very unique and useful. Only with a U shape, drowning people can stick to it easily. The two powerful engines are mounted on either end of the U. This makes it possible to surf the ice on the water or drag a person to a safe location like a ship or a coast.
U-Safe can receive waves and operate within a 5km radius around the controller. This is obviously a device of the future, when it is charged with solar power. The internal power supply is not too much, but it is still enough to operate for a long time and pull a person from offshore to shore.
The manufacturer plans to upgrade U-Safe to save more people at the same time.
U-Safe lifesaver has a simple but very useful design. The manufacturer expects to add GPS navigation devices or design larger versions. The goal is that buoys can save many people at once.
Currently, each of these lifesaving buoys is sold for USD 12,000, equivalent to VND 280 million.
Earlier, in 2017, Hydronalix, based in Arizona, USA, also designed and produced a remote control life buoy called EMILY (Emergency Intergrated Lifesaving Lanyard). EMILY can be deployed in just 30 seconds, with a maximum speed of 39 km / hour. Thus, it is possible to reach the victims more quickly, compared to saving the swimmers themselves.
EMILY can be deployed in just 30 seconds, with a maximum speed of 39km / hour.
Emily is equipped with a water-motor propeller engine and a self-balance mechanism after being overturned by waves. Once they reach the swimmer, the on-shore rescue crew can communicate with the person in distress, through a camera and radio attached to the buoy. Emily can transport people in distress to shore with engines or rescue belts. Besides speed benefits, using this life buoy to rescue will avoid putting rescue workers in danger. This is a common problem when rescuing people in distress, they will embrace and drown the rescuer into the water.
The price for an Emily remote-controlled life buoy is about $ 3,500, less than half the average price of a water motorcycle.
