Jackets suitable for all types of weather

An Indian entrepreneur has successfully invented a " climate control " coat pattern, able to adapt to all temperature conditions ranging from hot to cold.

According to Discovery magazine, when Kranthi Vistakula moved from India's hot Hyderabad area to study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, USA, icy winters in this coastal area made the young engineer feeling bored.

Extreme weather weather below 0 degrees Celsius of Boston winter with layers of clothing and can only take them off when they are inside the warm classrooms make Vistakula extremely uncomfortable. So, he invented a climate control jacket, capable of being suitable for all kinds of weather and different temperatures.

Vistakula - MIT alumnus and now business owner Dhama Innovations in Hyderabad - has started selling ClimaWare jackets and other garments with features that allow users to control the temperature according to will by adding or removing classes.

Vistakula said: " Our products can vary from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius in a single push. We have 4 levels of heating and 4 levels of cooling at low, medium, High and very high ".

Mr. Vistakula improved the prototypes of bulky weather controls, which weighed more than 3kg and were equipped with many motor fans, heat pipes and wires, to produce a more streamlined design by Using a thermoelectric device is called a Peltier plate, including a joint between two different metals. Putting an electric current through the joint causes the metal on one side to heat up, and the metal on the other side gets cooler. This so-called Peltier effect also helps to cool electronic devices like laptops.

However, such heat exchangers still need an extra radiator fan. To solve this problem, Mr. Vistakula used nanomaterials to create a tiny version of the device with lightweight plastic bricks that integrated inside the jacket and without mobile parts. Plastic bricks run on rechargeable batteries and can operate for 8 hours on a single charge.

The ClimaWare jacket currently weighs less than 0.5kg and can maintain an internal temperature of 20 to 40 degrees Celsius as well as being able to operate in a mid-temperature environment of - 50 to 50 degrees Celsius.

Besides the ClimaWare jacket, Vistakula's company is also selling scarves, shoes, helmets as well as knee and elbow pads that provide hot and cold treatments. Vistakula's staff is focusing on developing " HaemoSave ", an application that can use freezing temperatures to control bleeding, pain and inflammation in medical emergencies.
