3D helmet Design
Safety/Materials: My helmet is personally designed for each President of the U.S., The shell is created with Kevlar, which is used for bulletproof vests. Kevlar is simply a super-strong plastic. If that sounds unimpressive, remember that there are plastics—and there are plastics. There are literally hundreds of synthetic plastics made by polymerization (joining together long chain molecules) and they have widely different properties. Kevlar's amazing properties are partly due to its internal structure (how its molecules are naturally arranged in regular, parallel lines) and partly due to the way it's made into fibers that are knitted tightly together. This way the president is always safe from headshots when ridin dirty. Not only is the shell made from Kevlar but the face shield is made from 2 inch bulletproof glass which crystal clear, so only way theyre gettin to the balls on your face is if these quickscopers got FMJ. So no matter what this presidents head is as safe as a SJW in a safespace.
What we used to design: I found that the best place to create this very important helmet was Autodesk Fusion 360. I talked o multiple designers saying that the absolute best designs come from this site. It was very simple to use and right off the bat I was captivated by the coding within this application.
Design: I went for a simple black design with our company logo on the top of it so if any choppers flying overhead they'll see what brand name the president is boppin. Jaboto. We went with a neon green and purple for the logo to throw off the noobs' target finders. No one will expect this helmet is top technology, because it has such a simple design, but on the inside there is an air conditioner just in case the palms are sweaty. Knees weak arms are heavy. Venting is key. Moms spaghetti. Conclusion: Overall this project was pretty difficult for me. Since it was my first time I learned lots of different key concepts such as: Coefficients of Friction, Crumple Zones, Drag, Inertia, Friction, and Force. I believe that this allowed me to learn a lot about designing different prototypes on a CAD system and hopefully it helps me out in the future.
