Here's a description of the key features and characteristics of inflatable life jackets:

1. Inflation Mechanism:

   • Inflatable life jackets have a mechanism to inflate the device when needed. There are two main types of inflation mechanisms:
     • Automatic Inflation: Activated by water immersion or hydrostatic pressure.
     • Manual Inflation: Activated by pulling a cord or handle, manually inflating the life jacket.

2. Buoyancy Chambers:

   • Inflatable life jackets typically consist of one or more buoyancy chambers that are inflated to provide the necessary buoyancy. These chambers are often filled with compressed gas (CO2) when the inflation mechanism is triggered.

3. CO2 Cartridge:

   • The compressed gas is stored in a CO2 cartridge, which is punctured or released when the inflation mechanism is activated. This rapid release of gas inflates the buoyancy chambers.

4. Oral Inflation Tube:

   • In addition to the automatic or manual inflation mechanisms, inflatable life jackets often have an oral inflation tube. This allows the user to add extra air manually using their breath if needed.

5. Material:

   • The outer shell of inflatable life jackets is typically made from durable and water-resistant materials, such as nylon or polyester. The inner bladder that holds the inflated gas is made of airtight materials.
