ThermaHelm is life-saving helmet that has been designed to be able to “cool” your brain when there is an sudden impact. By cooling your brain, the helmet prevents your brain from getting further injury or long-term damage.
The inventor of the ThermaHelm helmet, Jullian Preston-Powers, is a motorcycling enthusiast, who got the idea of creating this helmet from an accident he had, where his friend put some ice cubes in his helmet that managed to bring some soothing effect to his injury.
The helmet has two lightweight chemical packs, one with ammonium nitrate and the other contains water. The impact in an accident will cause the reaction to produce cooling effect for up to 45 minutes that will save the user’s life.
The ThermaHelm helmet will cost you around £299, which sounds expensive for most people. But it sounds pretty promising to save your brain, so it’s worth equipping yourself with one of these.
