Helmet fitted with wind turbines illuminate the scooter’s lights

Earlier, we did mention about a helmet concept that charges up batteries by feeding on wind. But today it times to take a read about a prototype that puts all such ideas into action. A team of three students from Taiwan’s Cheng Shiu University has invented a motorcycle helmet that can generate electricity and power a scooter’s lights. Fitted with five tiny fans, aka wind turbines, and four batteries to store the electricity produced, this helmet can also power a pair of direction indicator and brake lights on the back of the helmet. A Bluetooth wireless transmitter sends the power to the vehicle to light up the indicators. Estimated at $30, this charging-up helmet will soon reach the production stage as the inventors are looking out for some manufacturers to mass produce them.
