Helmet Fan Keeps a Cool Head:
- Italian motorcycle helmet manufacturer Momo design has added a fan that activates at low speed to keep the airflow going to your head in the hot summer months.
- The Aero helmet features a Tornado Ventilation System that switches off at high speeds and only activates at low speeds thanks to a built-in GPS.
- It’s not the first helmet with a cooling solution.
The Encephalon from Nando Logic has a fan, but it doesn’t seem to have gone into production yet.
And AptEner Mechatronics hopes to release its BluSnap add-on air conditioner unit which simply straps to the front of a full-face helmet.
- The Momo design Aero helmet is ECE approved and will be available in four colours at €368 (about $A580, $US420).
- Momo design makes only one full-face helmet and this is open-face like the rest of their range with a full-length visor.
- They don’t say how much the fan, battery and GPS weigh, but it must increase the weight.
- The mechanism will also slightly increase helmet noise by 16 dB which is the sound of rustling leaves.
- It has a 3.7 V lithium-ion battery with eight hours of life and a one-hour charge time.
- Riders can choose to turn the fan on manually or use the Tornado Ventilation System app.
