The helmet was made by sculpting, resin casting, chroming, and vacuum forming. You can check out the whole process in more detail at his blog.
Programming for the helmet code was done by James Moss.

The Bendable Bike by young, British designer, Kevin Scott age 21. A graduate of The De Montfort University used a ratchet system so the rider can wrap the bike around a lamp post or pole and lock it up without needing a lock or chain. The actual frame of the bike is the lock itself. Really incredible invention.
“More than 52 bikes are stolen in London every day, according to official figures.
A total of 23,748 bikes were reported stolen in London in 2009-10 — up 27.8 per cent on the previous financial year — but police believe that the true figure could be double that.
Experts recommend that users should spend around 10 per cent of their bike’s value on a decent lock – ideally two – and always lock it to a solid object through the frame”

Jem Stansfield builds a vortex cannon that blows a straw hut, wood hut, and a pile of bricks over. Really incredible stuff.
