Brain Cooling Motorcycle Helmet On Sale Soon
A new type of motorcycle helmet will shortly be available that could save lives in an accident. It is a ‘brain cooling’ motorcycle helmet invented by Jullian Preston-Powers and marketed under the name ThermaHelm. The idea is that the inbuilt device will act like an ice pack and cool the brain to prevent swelling and injury if there is a sudden impact.
The helmet will be sold for around $480 by the British creators in May. The ThermaHelm is a carbon fibre helmet that contains twoo packs, one filled with water the other ammonium nitrate. On a sudden impact the packs break and the solutions mix to form a cooling solution that lasts for around forty five minutes. This will keep the brain cool and help to increase the chances of survival in a serious accident.
There has been a huge response to the idea says the inventor Jullian Preston-Powers with inquiries world wide and he is also looking at other uses for his invention. One option is to use it in military helmets.
There is also a more expensive version available that includes extras such as Bluetooth connections, GPS and video and will retail for around $800.
