Well that was fast. I wonder if the issue is that software powers on the device rather than the individual powering it on from within the pod?
The software powers on the device if you correctly answer 3 questions. You still have to press the button to start the process and there is a button to immediately stop the process and an emergency exit. Watch the video that is embedded in the article.
From the article:
In an interview with MailOnline last year, Dr Nitschke explained how his invention works.
'The person will climb into the machine, they will be asked three questions and they will answer verbally - 'Who are you?', 'Where are you?' and 'Do you know what happens if you press the button?'
'And if they answer those questions verbally, the software then switches the power on so that the button can then be pressed.
'And if they press the button they will die very quickly.
This also puts more pressure on Respiro to fix whatever problems their Rebreather lll had and release a Rebreather lV.
