The Cold Jacket

This summer is not longer a threat to Japanese territory last March that a natural earthquake and tsunami. The reason, Hiroshi Ichigaya, a former technician at the same time corporate leaders Sony Electronics Kuchofuku Co. Ltd. in Japan, has presented a solution so that people can travel without worrying about overheating.

Hiroshi has produced a system that has a cooling jacket. As charged, Hiroshi presents two 4-inch diameter fan which is operated by AA batteries for several hours. In addition, added a USB cable that can connect to a computer to charge on the cooling system. Interestingly, all electronic material in the jacket can be removed when washed. The only weakness of the effect of a material that inflates the wind from the fan.

"It is true that this jacket makes you like the Michelin Man (a symbol of the French company Michelin)," said Hiroshi. "But this jacket can make the factory workers feel comfortable doing their job."

One of the workers who feel the benefits of this jacket is Ryo Igarashi (33). "I work in a very hot and should wear long-sleeved clothes so I stopped to buy this jacket to keep them cool and prevent heat stroke," said Ryo.

Hiroshi develops this jacket since many years ago. This idea was created when he tried to make the air conditioner can use a small electric power. "I believe if we do not need to cool the room but only made so that each person feels cold," said Hiroshi.

Currently, Hiroshi has been producing about 40,000 a jacket that sold for 11,000 yen. Recently, the Japanese government has ordered half a million pieces of jacket but Hiroshi denies the request. Because the company Kuchofuku not yet able to produce that much because the number of human resources is still minimal.
