Mahesh Shivashimpiger is an Indian who is Hubballi, Karnataka based solar energy expert, developed this bag and helmet, which is also equipped with a small fan to keep your head cool. He has designed these devices for trekkers, sales executives, civil engineers and other professionals who spend most of their time out in the sun.
Mahesh, who has been involved in solar energy use for over 25 years, said these devices also help minimize global warming and prevent production of carbon dioxide. "We need to start thinking as individuals about using solar energy. If one starts using solar energy, these problems can be addressed in a few years," he said.
He said he got the idea of a solar backpack when he saw a medical representative struggling with his appointments and low battery charge on his mobile. "I thought of developing a solar backpack for such professionals on the move.
There are two options in this backpack - one can charge a laptop or smartphone by connecting it to the solar panel. Or it stores the energy in a battery bank and you can recharge the device later," he said.
"Many hesitate to wear a helmet because of the heat. If sunshine can cool your head and charge our devices, why won't they use it?" he said. isn't it cool while in hot summer you wear your helmet and you comfort your head with the cooling system of the helmet.
He said he has fixed an efficient solar panel above the motor so that cool breeze starts when the cap comes into contact with sunlight. As the panel is close to the %DC motor, there is no voltage loss. Just by removing the screws, the panel can be fixed to any other cap or helmet. The mobile phone can be charged by connecting it to the panel," he explained.
