CAPSTONE PROJECT
ARMADILLO PCA
The Armadillo is a safety tool addressing the phenomenon of voids in the event of structural collapse. Search and rescue relies on voids in rubble, allowing for the survival of entrapped victims. By addressing the risks involved in the practice of confined space rescue I came to the conclusion that the stabilization of a wreck is imperative for rescue workers and victims alike, this is the basis of my design. The Armadillo PCA is a specialized stabilization tool, utilizing a simple expanding arc meant to warp under the downward force and lateral tension of the rubble overhead, reinforcing the supportive structure by forcing the teeth into an interlocking position, helping stabilize the void for a safe extraction.
