Cranium Cooler



Does your hat’s hot sweaty headband press against your forehead and cause you to overheat on a scorching summer day? Are you tired of wearing plain old hats that offer only shade or perhaps respite from a bad hair day? Well hang onto your hats folks because summer heat relief is on its way! The new Cranium Cooler offers soothing heat relief by converting solar energy into a very cool forehead chiller. The concept is really quite simple.

The solar cells on the hat gather the sun’s energy. This energy is transferred to a Peltier-effect thermoelectric device that cools the wearer’s forehead. A little radiator is mounted on the front to dissipate excess heat. Deep down we actually like this invention’s concept. But, unless you dangle lots of little furry balls from the brim and become a Flamenco Dancer, we’re afraid the Fashion Police will be issuing citations.
