$79,869Benefit:
Successful execution of this project will result in widespread use of innovative noise quieting dive helmets for US commercial and defense industries where divers are exposed to high levels of noise. The active noise control technology is specifically aimed at eliminating self-generated noise sources including airflow and bubble production in breathing apparatus as well as communication noise due to feedback loop in communication channel. For defense users, helmeted Navy divers will able to perform their underwater duties with increased health and safety, more efficiently and with increased productivity as a result of reduced levels of helmet acoustic noise. From a commercial perspective, the ability to control and limit the levels of undesirable noise in the underwater environment benefits the health of all divers ranging from the beginner to the most experienced.
