Riding a bike is fun but helmets get dirty fast. Sweat dust rain and pollution all make them wet and smelly. Cleaning them is annoying and most people just ignore it. I thought it would be great if the helmet could clean itself.
The idea is simple. The outside of the helmet will have a surface that can wipe off dust water and mud. That way even if it rains or the road is dusty the helmet stays clean. The inside will have a soft little cloth system that moves and wipes away sweat so it does not smell or get wet. There will be small sensors that know when the helmet is dirty or wet and they will turn the cleaning on only when needed. You could also put a tiny light inside that kills bacteria to make it extra clean.
This helmet will help anyone who rides a bike every day or even sometimes. No one likes a wet smelly helmet and right now most helmets in the market do not fix this problem. I know it myself because I ride a lot and sometimes I have to wear a wet helmet and it is really uncomfortable and also during night time there is no proper vision if the helmet is not clean cant even close the shield of it as then we cant see ahead due to tge lights of opposite vehicles so a clean helmet is non negotiable.
Making this helmet will mix simple machines electronics and some smart materials. It will be small light and not heavy. It can make riding more comfortable safe and clean. I think it will be useful for many people and it is fun to make something like this. I want to try it because it solves a real problem and it is not something you see in normal helmets. A smart self cleaning helmet can really change how people feel when they ride and keep them happy and safe.
