Resistance

This is a short clip using a scaled down prototype which I made from a shower curtain. This is obviously waterproof however I wanted to see how the water landed on the mattress and whether it should be taken further.

The outcome was fascinating. The water gathered in clusters and run off the mattress. Then, to touch, the mattress was dry. So I will leave this model outside overnight (weather permitting/ alternatively the shower) and see how sustainable this mattress would be in a real life disaster.

Now, back to the concept...
