So how do these helmets work? Where did they come from? Let's find out! traffic police in the national capital delhi no longer need to suffer from the scorching sun. AC helmets specially designed for them are coming. These helmets reduce the outside temperature by 10 to 15 degrees Celsius, making them comfortable. Already, police in cities like Uttar Pradesh, Chennai, and vadodara have achieved good results using this technology.
Unlike ordinary helmets, these AC helmets come with a special design. They are equipped with a small ventilator. It filters the hot air outside and sends cool air inside the helmet. To provide power to this, a small Li-ion battery pack is attached to the waist of the police. A red light lights up when the battery is low, then it needs to be charged. This helmet works for about 2-3 hours once charged. Since it weighs only 200 grams, the police will not have any problem.
