Intended Use:
I designed this helmet for the use of either welding or working around heat intensive machinery. The helmet provides maximum protection without sacrificing visibility by using the hourglass shape visor.
Materials:
The helmet's shell is made of molybdenum with a 10cm thickness. This meets the OSHA standards for welding. The metallic alloy molybdenum is heavily resistant to corrosion an high temperatures making it the optimal material for this line of work. The visor would be made of borosilicate plastic, which itself is very scratch resistant. The plastic would then be coated in different colorized pigments so that the visor could absorb as much UV radiation as possible. The inside would be coated with a nice foam to provide maximum comfort-ability for the wearer.

Evolution of design
The original concept differs greatly from the finished product. However, they really only differ cosmetically. The main structural designs of the helmet are still there. The T shaped visor and support are still there, the bottom curve was kept, and the back support (AKA the gray shade and bulb coming out the back) is still there (instead the finished product has a gold cross plate as its back support).
