The thought of air-conditioned jackets produced in Japan to beat heat is mind-blowing. While you’re lazying about in 2018, Japan is already in the future. Meanwhile, Nigeria is still struggling with sim card registration lol #NoShade but see how far other countries have gone. How do they come up with these stuff though? I can’t get my head around it.
Well, these air-conditioned jackets invented by Hiroshi Ichiyaga, a former Sony Technician but now President of Japanese company, Kuchofuku did not just come to light. They have been in circulation since 2011.
How do these Air conditioned jackets work?
They work by producing a layer of circulating air which enhances sweat evaporation. There are two fans at the back and two in front. The fans which are four inches in diameter – are powered by AA batteries which last for several hours.
The fans can also be powered by plugging them into a computer using a USB cable. The two fans at the back pump in air around the wearer and out through the neck and sleeves of the jacket.
How much are these air-conditioned jackets and where can they be purchased?
These cooling jackets by Hiroshi Ichigaya cost 227 US dollars and can be purchased on online stores such as Ebay and Amazon . Now, that’s a lot of money though.
Can they be washed?
You may be wondering. Oh, yes they can! The electrical parts can be removed for washing. The only drawback is the balloon effect caused by the air flow.
