Brain-cooling Motorcycle Helmet

20100120401

ThermaHelm is a helmet that could stabilize the temperature of the brain, and believed by its designer Jullian Preston-Powers, the helmet “has the potential to save thousands of lives around the world every year”. It contains two lightweight chemical packs— one is filled with water and inside the other is ammonium nitrate. And you may have guessed right, the two will mix and trigger a ‘cooling’ reaction when given an impact.

Jullian Preston-Powers said that, he got the inspiration after sustaining an injury during a game of basketball. When playing basketball with his friend, Jullian Preston-Powers accidentally hit his friend’s head with the elbow and then someone handed them ice-packs for their injuries. “It was so cold I couldn’t hold it for very long,” Mr. Preston-Powers said, “So I placed it in my friend’s motorcycle helmet and he accidentally put it on while the pack was inside. He was surprised by how good it felt and that’s when I had that eureka moment.”

An $815 version of the ThermaHelm also comes with video cameras, GPS and Bluetooth and it is expected to be launched in the UK in May this year. [Read the rest of this entry...]
