Design and simulation of a thermoelectric cooling system for motorcyclist helmet

The objective of this paper is to design and build an air conditioned motorcyclist helmet. The design of the battery-powered helmet is based on the principles of a thermoelectric module (Peltier effect) to create a hot side and a cold side. The cold side of the thermoelectric module is utilized to p...
