Solar Equipment for Life Saving in Water

Abstract

A solar life-saving equipment in the water, which includes a conventional life-saving floatable equipment body. A solar cell, an energy storage device, a switch and a signal generator are integrated in the floatation body. The solar cell is located on the floatation body at a location which is easy to receive sunlight radiation and the switch is situated in a location easy for the user's hand to reach. The solar cell, the energy storage device, the switch and the signal generator are electrically connected to each other to form a complete electric circuit.
