A group of students from the University of Toronto has a shirt devised with built-in heating. The shirt may the wearer extra heat if his or her body cooled down by the ambient temperature. The group now has enough money for production.
The group of students has united under the name FuelWear and is planning to have the shirt in december to deliver to those who are using Indiegogo a financial contribution. A shirt can be bought for 150 Canadian dollars, converted slightly more than 100 euros. There may also be additional batteries can be purchased.
By the built-in heating elements can be the shirt, that the name Flame Base Layer carries, for heating. There are sensors built in which the body temperature of the wearer’s measurement, so that the shirt knows how much it needs to heat. The body temperature can be up to 10 degrees Celsius materials lead to problems, but the built-in battery only 3 hours. If there are 5 degrees must be heated is the battery life of six hours, and at 2.5 degrees heating is that it is a double. There is a accuindicator built-in and also is there a button to manually set the heating to suit.
According to FuelWear can verwarmingsshirt in the washing machine. Sensitive components such as sensors and batteries are sufficiently protected, according to the creators. In addition, the heating will automatically turn off when the shirt get wet; this applies also in case of rain or excessive sweating.
Clothing always seems to get more attention from tech and hobbyists. So, someone made recently a t-shirt that Tetris is to play and Intel is working on a ‘smart shirt’ with various sensors.
