HELMET COOLING SYSTEM

 Human life is so precious and valuable, that it should not be compromised under any cost. The concern over the safety of vehicle drivers has pushed for invention of new equipment that can save lives. According to Statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (2010), it is mentioned that nearly 70% of mortality in road accidents occur due to head injury, where the rider has not worn a helmet. It is not that people are very negligent about their lives on road, but that they experience dozens of discomforts by wearing helmets. The most common discomfort is that, heavy sweat occurs due to excessive heat formation. This paper deals with the development of cooling system for biker’s helmet using thermoelectric technology. The system consists mainly of a heat sink, aluminum passageway and Peltier module. The prototype is fabricated and mounted onto biker’s head. Experiments are conducted on the prototype to analyze the performance of the cooling system
