He is currently a graduate student at MIT, has been reactive Sportswear brilliant design, which changes color with your emotions, your body sweat and body heat. The U.S. military reactive material like this, and uses it to camouflage the latest concepts. In fact, there are interesting new materials you can use the colors change when they are in the midst of a certain type of gas. For example, if the methane gas, CO2, or toxic gases used in chemical and biological warfare is present, all of a sudden color change of clothes.
Well, then, is a revolutionary new technology, but I wonder if we can use some of the technology transfer that go along with all this innovation is very simple. Remember, if you want all bicycle accidents happening in our major cities. In the past two years have seen a large number of road accidents, some believe that this increase is due to the fact that people are increasingly more text messages, and view your Tablet PC, or smart phones.
Most cyclists LED blinking turn in the day or night. What if you went further? What if a motorcycle helmet, bike or clothing changes color in the presence of CO2? So every time a car passes, the CO2 could be near them at a slightly higher caused the hull to change the color, and their shirts and pants. In this case, the changes that attract attention and the eyes of drivers on the road, which would be less likely to crush them by accident, it may have been distracted by his staff high-tech devices.
Why bother you ask? As a long-distance cycle, which often go on long trips. Cars and motorcycles often do not mix. I doubt anyone really wants to run on a cyclist, but probably there are some psychos out there, but it is very easy not to pay attention when driving a motor vehicle, and the cutting of a cyclist or near the roadside.
Obviously, when a car hits a motorcycle, we know who will win this match, the pilot has no chance. A coating on the hull of small colored plastic can be incorporated into the helmet so the helmet can change color.
By taking this concept to the next level with the MIT grad student Sportswear reactive, it seems natural that the color of biking gear. Studies have been in the past by the billboard company, and the Ministry of Transportation show that drivers were five times more likely to see a billboard or traffic, if it has changed color, there was movement or blinking or flashing lights was.
We know there are many pieces of equipment used for the safety of bicycles with LED lights and reflective clothing to alert motorists. However, you can still have reflective clothing that changed color, perhaps a fluorescent green fluorescent yellow to bright red. This is easy to imagine, and I’m sure you’ll agree that catches your eye, and could cause you to give the driver more space, and prevents the use of personal devices, the technology that could divert your attention while you are driving, or passing a bicyclist. In my estimation, does not seem to add more than $ 20 the price of a helmet, and if they were mass-produced clothes cost about $ 10 – $ 15 more if only the design has changed and not the entire team. If the entire team would change, which may cost a little more, and would be more for long distance cycling in severe cases. It would also allow greater security when traveling on a cross, a car was perpendicular to the rider. These types of accidents that cause serious injury and often result in death or serious injury and even death.
When cars sideswipe a cyclist, in general, have some broken bones, and end on the side of the road pretty well destroyed, but at least live to tell. Now, there’s a market for this innovative new concept in the world of cycling? Of course, someone has to start to invent, build, market and sell it.
