Body  Cooler

Design Brief- To design a kitchen product for the aging population to aid them in that environment.

What if you can go out in the sun without being worried about getting a sunstroke?

Ergonomics

Fan use in a heaty environment increases your body temperature.

Aging is inevitable. Humans are called endotherms because we need to maintain the same internal temperature which is gained by generating heat. In hotter environments, our bodies are capable of releasing heat, however this ability declines as we age.

Ideation

We are taught to blow on our hot food since childhood. 

 

The aim is to cool the air around the body to keep the temperature neutral in hot environments. This is gained by the compression and rapid expansion of air through tiny holes which cools the air down. It is designed in a way that spreads the air evenly, avoiding too much air at one place. The challenging part was to keep the simplicity 

The challenging part was to make it simple and light enough for the user to be wanting to wear it in a heaty environment since we like to be free of things in such conditions.

Unlike regular portable fans, it will cool you down by cooling the air around you. Its inspiration came from the age-old human action of blowing.
