I Made This to Help Prevent Heat Stroke | DIY Items

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Mitsui Shipbuilding 106

The other day, I drove out to Nagano.

The site involves drilling a 60-meter hole.

Drilling holes deeper than 60 meters takes a bit of skill, so it might be too difficult for beginners.

Well, I guess it’s not such a big deal once you get used to it, lol.

Well, I'm really grateful to be given work like this.


But that's beside the point.

But it's really starting to get hot, isn't it?

I was just loading up the machine, but I was drenched in sweat lol

On-site temperature

On site, the temperature is 38 degrees or higher—

It's already hell mode, isn't it?

 

So, I made something like this for use on-site. (Currently undergoing strength testing.)

Shade

The structure is extremely simple—all you have to do is hang up some shade cloth.

That said, it’s a whole different story from the camping tarps we use in the field.

 

It's actually pretty strong!

Camping tarps and the like are made of aluminum.

That's why it's so light.

And because they're so light, they get blown away by the wind on site.

Even if you tie sandbags or something to your feet, they’re often blown away and bent out of shape, leaving nothing but a pitiful wreck. (In the blink of an eye, everything’s gone.)

 

For example, if you were to build this shape using steel pipes, it would be quite a lot of work, and you’d also have to bring the pipes with you.

Heatstroke Prevention: Shade Cloth

This is such a hassle to make, isn't it!?

 

ThatWe've made it simpler and stronger!

Plus, it's small enough to fit in a passenger car!

Since the longest pipe is 1,500 mm, it fits easily into a standard passenger car.

And the total weight is 40 kg.

It's heavy on its own, but it can be disassembled into separate parts, with the lightest piece weighing about 1 kg.

 

If you place sandbags at the four corners of the base, it won't be blown away.

During a typhoon, you just need to remove the shade cloth, and you'll be fine.

Construction Site Sunshade

You can also drive an anchor into the ground.

And the biggest advantage is that even if a part breaks, you can fix it by simply replacing that part!

Since it's made using standard parts as much as possible, you can rest assured even if it breaks.

Even if the director makes it all by themselves, it usually takes about 10 minutes. (Unless they're really clumsy, that is.)

 

So, I've written all this, but I'm not actually selling it lol

I just made this as a test.

Even though it's just an experiment, how much will it be buffeted by the wind? What about wind loads? What about strength??

I'm just looking into that.

Actually, it pretty much depends on the strength of the steel pipe, lol (I'll look into that.)

I'll show you another video I made.

By the way, the dimensions are 2,000 mm high × 2,000 mm wide × 1,500 mm deep.

 

See you later.

 

P.S.: I’d be happy if a trading company reached out to me, lol.

    It seems like the wind would flow through better if the lower half of the shade cloth were open, but is that not the case? Does sunlight get through?

      Sorry for the late reply.

      It might seem like it would be better if the bottom were open, but in reality, the gauze itself lets the wind through.
      And when the sun hits it, it really does get hot, lol.

      Avoiding direct sunlight is the top priority, isn't it?
