Pulse is a piloted aircraft that can transport a medic or EMT trained to pilot it. The pilot flies while standing up and looks out a large window to see where to go and land.
Instead of picking patients up and taking them to a hospital, Pulse allows help to arrive quicker than current technology does.
“They fly themselves to the scene of the emergency, they get out with their life-saving equipment and they go and they stabilize the patient,” Dietrich said. “They stay with the patient until the ambulance shows up, and then oftentimes they’ll actually go with the patient because they know the most about the patient at that moment.”
Uh huh
“Not if we the fossil fuel producers can stop it!”
“Pulse can cover 2,800 square miles in under eight minutes and land on rocky terrain”
I highly doubt that.
That’s just being able to go 30 miles in 8 minutes, in any direction. Once that is possible, the area covered in that circle is π r^2, or 3.14 x 30 x 30, for about 2800 square miles.
“Pulse can cover 2,800 square miles in under eight minutes and land on rocky terrain”
30 x 30 x 3.14 = about 2800.
So it’s got a 30 mile radius, in 8 minutes, that’s 225 mph.
So it’s pretty speedy, but it’s range is limited. I am assuming that it also has enough juice to be able to fly back.
What if they need any one of the hundreds of pounds of equipment and drugs that’ll still be in the ambulance?
If I got your question right, this would be the answer
And it’s not meant to replace ambulances or helicopters. “It’s meant to be a complementary technology,” he said. Getting medical help to patients in rural areas faster while they wait for transportation to arrive can shave off crucial minutes and save lives.
and what you are failing to realize is… How is that different than there simply being a bystander that understands the concepts of CPR and BASIC first-aid!!!
This is NOTHING but a product to be sold to morons that do not understand the most basic fundamentals of first aid and how available such skills SHOULD be amongst the populace.
If the difference between life and death is someone who has NO SUPPORTING EQUIPMENT WHAT SO EVER and some random bystandter being there … you’re already fucked by a society that does not respect basic understanding of anything…
You have completely and utterly missed the entire point of the question I asked. I DO NOT ask about whether an abulance is en route, but I ask what if they need things that are on that wheel-based ambulance??
Then they wait.
Do you understand that your position is just like saying, but what if there’s something in the hospital that the wheel based ambulance doesn’t have!!
There are already “lightweight” critical care responders in small cars and motorbikes and such. Just a more agile mode of transport for those folk.
It does not replace the ambulance, which is still enroute when the aircraft arrives.
Just like the cycling medics in London who can sometimes arrive faster than the ambulance.
When human hybernation emerges, these very-first responders will be able to put someone into hibernation while the ambulance makes its way.
That’s … not in any way what so ever how human bodies will EVER respond to critical damage… Though I commend your ability to appear to be high as fuck without admitting to smoking anything!
