This concrete-busting product applies a powerful striking force onto reinforced concrete walls and other surfaces that the rescue team needs to break, in order to save lives. 
 
This product works on a linkage mechanism, similar to mantis shrimp, it stores energy in the compressed spring. When the latch is released, the hitting arm strikes forwards and generates a shockwave in the conrete. (Multiple blows are required) The electric motor pulls back the hitting arm with the help of gas spring. 
 
 
Inspired from its complex vision, this product has an electromagnetic life detector that locates living human individuals based on their beating human heart. This is the display screen for that. 
Note: the graphics used in the screen is not created by me. 
 
Thank you for watching.
