Design of Temperature Controlled Riding Gear

Abstract

The helmet and jacket are the safety equipment for a two-wheeler rider. “The primary purpose of helmet is to protect the head against injuries and to safeguard the eye from sunlight and dust particles” [1]. Jacket is as important as a helmet because it protects the other vital parts of your body such as the shoulder, elbow, back and chest. It is crucial that the motorcyclist is comfortable while wearing the helmet and jacket for long rides. The inconvenient equipment may affect concentration and create hazards that could lead to accidents. The motorcyclist can be affected by temperature which results in loss of concentration. Our intention is to comfort the rider with cool air through the entire gear. This work focuses on absorbing the heat produced inside the helmet and jacket, the absorbed heat is then converted into cool air. The mechanism facilitates the release of hot air and circulates cool air without any manual effort during required circumstances.
