The Silen Cicada is Designed to Cool Users Down During Hot Weather
References: kickstarter & yankodesign
The Silent Cicada is a unique and progressive new technology that is meant to cool users down during the heat in the summer. It depends on a scientific principle and is essentially a wearable cooling design that can be wrapped around the wrist.
Users can wear it for a few minutes to cool down the body's temperature overall and to do so, it uses advanced superconductor technology with thermal management. The device is able to convert electricity into coolness without relying on water or other compressors. The personal air conditioner is designed to have lightweight properties for comfortable wearing. It is also efficient and much more sustainable than many options that are on the market as it cools down the blood that is circulating one's body.
