Indiegogo NFL Football Concussion Prevention System Uses Impact Energy Diffusion Technology to Help Protect Athletes’ Brains from Direct Hits and Reduce Concussions

Just as light is defracted when it hits a prism, the “Preventer” football-helmet, impact-diverting technology spreads kinectic energy and helps diffuse direct shockwaves from hitting the brain

Jenkintown, Pennsylvania – Calvin Millwood, an American entrepreneur,  has developed an innovative helmet called the “Preventer” that could potentially save hundreds of lives and prevent concussions and life-threatening injuries by reducing the amount of kinetic energy that is transferred to the brain in today’s student-athletes, college and professional NFL football.

Millwood has developed numerous prototypes and invested more than 5 years of his own time and money to bring this football concussion preventing technology to market and has now launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise enough funding to complete the product development, line up a manufacturing plant and fund a marketing campaign that reaches high schools, colleges/universities and NFL teams with tremendous benefits of his new Preventer football helmet.   Coaches who pledge to this campaign will receive a helmet that protects their future players’ health and reduce their school’s liability.

 

Described as a ‘helmet within a helmet,’ the Preventer was created to protect professional athletes, sports enthusiasts and children from dangerous and sometimes fatal concussions. Millwood has created a prototype of the wonder device and is raising money to start production.

“Different football helmets, even the best and the most expensive ones, are made in a way which does not protect the player, and is responsible for the concussions and head injuries from falls and collisions,” Millwood explained. “The aim and vision is to protect the professional players’ heads as well as those of school children, who suffer from brain and head injuries every year.”

The Preventer helmet is stylish, light, and totally prevents the injury and pain and by absorbing the force of the impact. The helmet is constructed with eleven layers of protection that block the force of the collision and absorbs the damaging energy from the instance of violent impact to the head.

Using famed physicist Isaac Newton’s third law as the basis of his research, Millwood has spent the last five years and thousands of dollars of his own funds developing the revolutionary device that would lead to the prevention of concussions.

Millwood’s crowdfunding campaign on the Indiegogo platform will enable him to realize his dream to begin manufacturing The Preventer helmets, and significantly reduce the incidence of injuries from these types of collisions.

Grand Rapids, Michigan – Loquidity.com announced the launch of its digital marketplace for premier real estate assets in the Central and Midwestern United States. The new debt and equity real estate equity crowdfunding platform will enable real estate professionals to publicly advertise their pre-vetted deals. The site will provide accredited investors unparalleled opportunity to shop one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the country. Loquidity’s launch allows investors to capitalize on the Midwest’s continued economic recovery, including lower unemployment rates and increased manufacturing activity, which is helping drive strong demand for multifamily and commercial property development.

New Midwest Platform to Offer Pre-Vetted Real Estate Deals in the Midwest and Central United States as Region’s Economy Bounces Back

Loquidity launches with a coveted $3.4 million deal, $1.4 million of which is being raised on the platform, for a 72-unit multifamily property in Grand Rapids, Mich. The city was recently named as the best place to own rental property in the U.S, according to All Property Management’s annual survey of 75 U.S. markets.

The platform’s founders are leveraging decades of combined real estate investing experience in the region to curate top-tier opportunities for accredited investors, who can contribute as little as $5,000 per deal. Loquidity will focus on real estate investments in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana and Kansas.

“We understand the real estate markets in this region better than anyone,” said Jesse Clem, the co-founder and CEO of Loquidity with more than 15 years of experience as a senior leader within Fortune 500 corporations. “With a strong jobs market, a rebounding manufacturing sector and a thriving property market, the Midwest is becoming a prime target for real estate investors in the U.S. and internationally. Loquidity specializes in commercial and multifamily properties, which we believe will provide stable, risk-adjusted yields for our investors with significant potential for capital appreciation.”

Real estate sponsors seeking debt or equity financing for their projects can benefit from Loquidity’s growing network of active investors interested in the revitalization of their local communities. The Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Chicago noted in an April report that demand is strong for multifamily housing and commercial property and that key industries in the region are growing steadily.

“A lot of people have overlooked the Midwest when searching for quality real estate assets,” said Loquidity COO Joe Elias, who has more than 15 years’ experience in real estate development in the region. “In reality, our deals represent an incredible value to investors as the employment rate and other economic variables improve. We also anticipate strong interest from native Mid-Westerners who want to help bolster their communities while realizing a financial return.”
