The Ukrainian company Resq Pods has developed an innovative rescue capsule that can protect people from various disasters, including military operations and natural disasters. This invention is designed to increase the chances of survival in extreme situations.
Saving innovation of Ukraine
Response to the challenges of time
In the face of ongoing aggression from Russia and increasing attacks on civilian targets, Ukrainian engineers have created a unique solution to protect the population. Resq Pods has introduced a revolutionary rescue capsule that can ensure human safety in various critical situations.
Technological breakthrough
The invention, presented at the Disasters Expo Europe 2 exhibition in Frankfurt, attracted the attention of the international community. Kirill Meshkovsky, one of the founders of Resq Pods, emphasized that the development is aimed at ensuring a 90 percent probability of survival in disasters.
The capsule, weighing 400 kg and measuring 75x75x220 cm, has a double metal shell with a polymer filler. It is capable of withstanding the collapse of a multi-story building, protecting the person inside until rescuers arrive.
Comprehensive equipment
Engineers equipped the capsule with advanced life support systems. It includes: ventilation with air purification, a CO2 and smoke level analyzer, alarm sensors for search by rescuers, communications equipment, as well as a supply of provisions and water.
Trials and prospects
The fourth version of the capsule went through a series of rigorous tests, including falling from a height, exposure to explosions and fire. Resq Pods focuses on cooperation with enterprises in the logistics, energy, agricultural and industrial sectors.
The company plans to expand production, attract investment and enter the international market. In the future - the development of family and inclusive models, solutions for protecting data centers and even the creation of protective school desks.
Project development
Founded in 2023, Resq Pods today employs 16 specialists. The main office and production are located in Ukraine. The company is negotiating with representatives of large businesses and critical infrastructure, and also seeks to cooperate with government agencies to ensure individual protection of citizens.

Interesting innovation! 🤔 Resq Pods can truly save lives in critical situations. But I'm wondering how accessible this technology will be to ordinary people?
Amelie
Diego, I thought about this too. Although they focus on the B2B sector, it would be great to have such a capsule at home. Especially considering the increasing frequency of natural disasters. 🌪️ I wonder how much it might cost?
Hans
It's impressive that the capsule survived such severe testing! 💪 400 kg is, of course, a lot, but safety is more important. Amelie, Diego, do you think it’s possible to install one of these in an ordinary apartment?
Sophia
Guys, I was most impressed by the idea of school capsule desks! 🏫 This could really protect children in emergency situations. Hans, it’s probably a little complicated in an apartment, but for a private house it’s fine!
Viktor
This is all bullshit. Another pumping of money from alarmists. It would be better to do something really useful, and not come up with horror stories. And in general, you cannot run away from fate.
Diego
Viktor, I understand your skepticism, but technology can really save lives. Sophia is right about the schools - that's a great idea! 👍 Maybe we should think about lighter versions for home?
Amelie
I agree with Diego! 😊 What if you create something like an inflatable capsule? Lighter, more compact, but still protects. Viktor, technology is developing to make our lives safer, is that bad?
Hans
Great idea, Amelie! 💡 An inflatable version would solve the weight and size problem. It would also be cool if the capsule could be used as regular furniture in everyday life. Double functionality!
