Project Name : Solar Powered Air Cooled Jacket for Traffic Police
Project Theme: Community Health & Environment
Traffic policemen man traffic at busy intersections where as such there is a high concentration of green house gases emanating from the exhaust of vehicles. This is compounded by the uniform and the helmet they wear. When the weather is humid and there is no wind, they are exposed to serious health hazards.
which are listed as under:
♦ Heat stroke
♦ Heat exhaustion
♦ Heat cramps
♦ A Survey of Around 10 Police Men Was Done By Us To Know More
♦ About The Several Problems
♦ Faced By Them While They Are On Their Duty In The Bright Shining Hot Sun
Scientific Principle:
Evaporation: This Is The Main Scientific Principle Behind Our Model. The Purpose Of Our Model Is Cooling Which Is Caused Due To Evaporation. Evaporation Is The Process Of Conversion Of Water Into Vapours. During Evaporation Particles Gain Kinetic Energy From Their Surroundings To Overcome The Force Of Attraction Between Them.
Utility and Further Scope of the Project:
This jacket, combined with hot water circulation system, can be used to provide warm draft of air in polar regions
The fans of the jacket can be switched on and off using a microcontroller along with a temperature and a humidity sensor for optimal power usage.
Better fabric for jacket and more powerful cpu fans and alernative sources of energy for charging like wind power could improve the performance of this jacket.
