  • Publication number: 20110226550
    Abstract: This invention's purpose is to quickly and safely evacuate people from the highest stories of a high-rise building. It is a slide, much like those on airplanes, but with more features and uses. Another part of this creation is a movable slide that is attached to a funnel, which can be carried around on fire trucks and attached to the fire truck's crane when needed for use. There is also a machine that can be used to re-wrap the slide once it has been used. The slides are packed inside an exact windowsill and will roll out of its storage space when called for. There is one every few stories and the slides are at intervals so that no collision will occur. Another feature of the slide is clear plastic covering over the top to keep people in and make it possible to direct traffic. The most important attribute of this invention is the plastic sheets that keep the walls and the slide stiff. It is through these that the air is pumped into the slide.

  • Publication number: 20110226891
    Abstract: Ejection seats have been on the road towards perfection ever since they were first made. But there are still too many situations that can't be avoided with just one function, ejecting and parachuting down. We have attempted to take it a few steps further: adding a small jet pack and glider wings. This way, pilots and astronauts can apply it in their emergency escape routines. Using the small jet pack, astronauts can push themselves on their way back to the blue planet and pilots can get themselves out of a danger zone quickly. This can also be a wonderful outdoor sport or activity.
