Abstract

The FH2 1 Rescue Craft is to be used on Oil rigs, Passenger ships, Commercial fishing ships, Cargo ships or any other Sea Vessel. The Rescue Craft would take the place of existing life boats used today. The outer shape of the craft is ball shaped and houses another ball shaped sphere inside the unit. The second ball shape houses the evacuees. The inside sphere that houses the evacuees has a Gyro to keep its rescued occupants in a stable environment free from dangerous Ocean waves, Severe winds or Pack ice outside the unit. The inside sphere is on smooth rollers that press up against the outer ball from inside. The Gyro located in the inner sphere provides its evacuees with a smooth safe trip. FH2 1 Ocean Rescue Craft was designed to save the lives of its occupants even in the most dangerous of situations.
