Portuguese engineering firm Noras Performance has created a lifesaving buoy that can propel itself to reach those in difficulty in the water. According to the Noras website, U-safe is "coming soon" and has been for over a year, so we'll keep an eye out for updates! The device is called the “Lifebuoy” and it was designed by Brazilian engineer Ricardo de Oliveira who worked with his father on the project. The device is powerful enough to drag a person to safety. The company has filed patents for potential future versions that can be charged through solar power or can drive autonomously by following a GPS location device. The U-safe has yet to be released commercially.
