Did you know that a smart helmet, which Volvo plans to release, can be an excellent addition to all these futuristic bicycles with heart rate sensors and rockets as engines? It will be equipped with a dual-lane system that will communicate information about the location of cyclists and cars to the company’s cloud data center. While car owners can do this using a navigation system, helmet owners will need to install a “cycling app” like Strava. With its help, cyclists will be able to receive warnings about approaching or crossing cars through built-in helmet lights. In turn, drivers will receive a warning about the presence of a nearby bicycle through an indicator on the windshield, which is especially useful if the approaching object is in the “blind spot”.

If you are a cyclist, you are familiar with the feeling of anxiety that arises when you start running out of water in the middle of a ride: there are still several kilometers to go home, and the risk of dehydration increases significantly. Fortunately, the invention of student designer Christoph Reitzaar will save you from both dehydration and unnecessary worries. Christoph has developed a device that attaches to the bicycle frame and uses solar energy to convert moisture in the air into drinking water in your bottle. The secret of the new device lies in the use of thermoelectric cooling. Solar panels generate energy, which is used to cool the top part of the device, where the air enters during the bike ride; the moisture condenses and flows into the bottle. The bottom part remains warm, which only accelerates the condensation process. Continue reading
