This image of the ad to the “Insolator Writing Helmet” was brought to my attention by my friend, author and singer of TSOL, Jack Grisham.ģ. This damper is the heart and soul of 6D’s exclusive Omni-Directional Suspension technology. Among his other inventions were the Oso- phone (an innovative hearing-aid).ġ.

The Isolator was invented by Hugo Gernsback, editor of Science and Invention magazine, member of “The American Physical Society,” and one of the pioneers of science fiction.” He also had one called “the laboratory isolator” which had an opening for food and utensils a source of air with exhaust, and usually, arm-length gloves.

The Isolator is a strange looking helmet invented in 1925 with an attached air hose for breathing, that allowed one to think and work without being distracted which encourages focus and concentration by rendering the wearer deaf, piping them full of oxygen, and limiting their vision to a tiny horizontal slit. But now I have the perfect solution, with this great invention from the 1920’s called the “Insolator Writing Helmet.” With kids running around getting ready for school, playing, fighting, and a wife who is constantly doing housework it gets really hard to have silence around the home so I can concentrate on my research and writing. It is a testament of human nature to overcome slackness and be more proper.Being a writer and blogger working from home, can be very difficult at times. The Isolator Helmet The Isolator helmet designed by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 eliminates outside noises and helps you concentrate on the work. However, I suggest the desk should be a smartphone and social media-free zone as well since they are the biggest distractors nowadays! This helmet was just a weird invention that never actually made it into production. Although it seems a bit novel, it may work for the lot of us as we tend to get distracted a lot.

He also had the audacity to connect an Oxygen tank so that the sound would be muffled and he had nothing but his work and his isolated mind. Instead of training his mind to get to work, he wanted to narrow his vision and reduce the disturbing noises around him to a bare minimum level. A small piece of glass granted the person wearing it sight, but even that was painted black, with only. Another handy feature was the minimal vision it allowed. A full-face helmet made from solid wood, Gernsback’s invention claimed to cut out 95 per cent of any noise bothering the wearer. The isolator is a product of his workaholic creative nature, and obviously, he thought that the surroundings were full of distractions. So, he created something he called The Isolator.

He was a tireless promoter of Science and just like any modern innovator, had fits of crazy because of the genius he was. Many people have called him the father of science fiction due to his work. He, along with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author Sherlock Holmes began to write about Science fiction and made a genre out of nothing. He was a great Science enthusiast who started the World’s first Science magazine that highlighted latest innovations and gadgets of that time so essentially he was a pioneer and encouraged scientific learning and amateur experimentation to make it a household thing. Gernsback was not just a man full of crazy ideas like these. Hugo Gernsback (1884-1967) was a Luxembourgish science journalist and innovator based in the USA, who had similar views and went on to make this ridiculous helmet that was supposed to be a productivity improving apparel. With this arrangement it is found that an important task can be completed in short order and the construction of the Isolator will be found to be a great investment. This increases the respiration and livens the subject considerably. So you think distractions while working are a new thing? Long before Facebook, bloggers or Whatsapp invaded our lives, there still used to distractions since it is in general human nature to cut some slack and almost anything can serve as a distraction in my opinion. the writer introduced a small oxygen tank, attached to the helmet.
