Slip Resistance Guide
The new Belt Power concept from WhisperPower is ideal for small vehi- cles with no space to install a 230V generator. The system consists of a high output generator connected to the diesel or petrol engine of cars, 4x4s or vans by means of special supports. The generator is powered by a spe- cial heavy-duty belt through the pul- ley of the engine, while the generated electricity is converted into a stable, sinus-wave 230V/50Hz, even with a fluctuating rpm. There are three capacities available: 3.5kW, 5kW and 7.5kW.

Battery protection device
ThoraQuik® is a new product designed
by Vygon, which is now starting to be made available both to the military and to civilian medical personnel. Bomb blast, shrapnel and bullet wounds can all allow air into the space between the chest wall and the lungs (a pneumoth- orax). If the hole acts like a flap valve then the pressure build-up will crush the blood vessels carrying blood back to the heart, causing cardiac arrest. Release of the pressure is a critical life- saving procedure. Until now doctors, paramedics and combat medical tech- nicians have only been able to use the plastic tube cannulas that are designed to set up intravenous drips. The ThoraQuik®
device has been
designed to act as a hemisphere that adheres firmly to the skin, reducing the likelihood that it can be dislodged dur- ing handling the casualty.
