'Wearable AC' that works without electricity!!!!!

What Wearable Ac is?

Wearable air conditioning is in the offing as engineers from University of Missouri-Columbia have designed an on-skin device that include numerous human health care apps such as the ability to monitor blood pressure, electrical activity of the heart and the level of skin hydration.

How it works?

Unlike similar products in use today, this breathable and waterproof device can deliver personal air conditioning to a human body through a process called passive cooling.
Passive cooling does not utilize electricity, such as a fan or pump, which researchers believe allows for minimal discomfort to the user.

Use of it:

1.Soldiers could cool down on the military battlefield -- preventing heat stroke or exhaustion -- by using "wearable air conditioning", said the study detailed in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
2."Our device can reflect sunlight away from the human body to minimize heat absorption, while simultaneously allowing the body to dissipate body heat, thereby allowing us to achieve around -11.6 degree Celsius of cooling to the human body during the daytime hours," said Zheng Yan, assistant professor in the College of Engineering.
3."We believe this is one of the first demonstrations of this capability in the emerging field of on-skin electronics," Yan added.

Future of it:

Currently, the device is a small wired patch, and researchers say it will take one to two years to design a wireless version.
They also hope to one day take their technology and apply it to 'smart' clothing.
"Eventually, we would like to take this technology and apply it to the development of smart textiles," Yan said.
That would allow for the device's cooling capabilities to be delivered across the whole body.
"Right now, the cooling is only concentrated in a specific area where the patch is located. We believe this could potentially help reduce electricity usage and also help with global warming," the authors wrote in the study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Funding for the study was provided by the University of Missouri start-up fund and a grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
