A helmet attachment, comprising:
- a shell having a concave bottom;
- a base having:
- a convex top affixed to the concave bottom of the shell;
- a concave bottom affixable to the convex top of a helmet;
- and
- an air flow channel formed in the convex top of the base for guiding air entering from an entrance in a front of the base through to an exit in the concave bottom of the base;
- a power and electronics module secured within a cavity in the shell, comprising:
- a power source, comprising:
- a solar array secured to a top of the shell;
- a battery pack secured within the cavity in the shell;
- and
- a charging module secured within the cavity in the shell and configured to charge the battery pack from current provided by the solar array;
- and
- a 5 volt power output connector electrically coupled to the power source and configured for charging a small electronic device;
- and
- a heater electrically coupled to the power source, the heater comprising a thermoelectric plate whereby:
- heat is transferred from a first surface to a second surface, cooling the first surface, when electric current from the power source is applied in a first direction;
- and
- heat is transferred from the second surface to the first surface, cooling the second surface, when electric current from the power source is applied in a second direction opposite the first direction.
