Helmet with Heating and Air Conditioning
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 3:13 pm
From the article the set up seems kind of crude. For cool air there's a solar powered evaportative cooler that pulls air in and blows it through a sponge and across the wearers face. The heating element came from a heated mouse pad and is powered by an external battery.
From the sounds of that setup it doesn't seem like it would be super effective in extreme temperatures. Plus, it might get kind of weighty. I like the idea though. If they spend a bit more time in R&D and make sure this thing still does its PRIMARY job of keeping my thinker from becoming suddenly inundated with tarmac, it'd be a definite buy.
