Helmet redesign

I'd love it if I could voice activate a number and *555 someone who's about to cause an accident!

If you intend to power it - how? any cords connecting suck in a big way batteries probly wont work long enuff powering that much
How much deeper would it be - remember all that white foam stuff inside the helmet will still be needed and any strange shapes will affect impact spread.

Drop down neck protector to stop neck injuries
self tinting visor would rock but.

A pelter = something like that= could be good for heaating and cooling the air in. But I got great vents on my Arai - but it has a great love for placing bugs inside the helmet.

Small windmills and solar surface.

HUD would be the first thing I'd want! Bikes are the closest you can get to Jet Fighters on the road with their acceleration, it'd be doubly awesome having lean angle and missile lock all lit up on your visor.

Li (or better) battery tech, that'll keep it going for ages.

A peltier (thermoelectric engine) would be the easiest way to cool and heat it indeed... except for the extreme current draw that even a small one has.

I like the idea of a headup display that would alert me to my indicators flashing - thats gotta be simple, and I bet a few accidents occur with bikers leaving them on and cars taking them out

How about in tri tone candy paint so it changes color as you go by?

And a built in fan for hot days

And a built in camera for taking photos of punters in cars who you need to *555 later

Have you tried "wraparound" "dirty dog" style sunnies? Zero gap between the bottom of the glasses and your skin under the eyes, works well.

Actually quite what?

I like the cooling fan idea - noise should not be an issue as there are some very quiet small fans around and road noise will cover the sound.

I'd like a auto darken visor - like those fancy welding helmets I want to purchase.
