A team of scientists from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) recently came up with the world's first air-conditioned bulletproof jacket based on a special technology called Coolpad that helps police stay cool in hot days.
It is worth mentioning that the Coolpad technology elaborated by Empa was initially developed for cooling clothes for different medical applications.
Researchers say that the built-in Coolpads evaporate sweat through the material, thus helping the wearer to stay cool.
Besides, the bulletproof jacket has a tiny fan that easily fits into the garment and blows air inside the vest to offer more cooling. To be able to incorporate the fan, researchers at Empa teamed up with Eschler, a textile company from Switzerland, to develop a special fabric spacer that is both stable and flexible.
In order to quickly refill the cool pads with water, scientists created a portable filling station the wearer can easily attach to the jacket using a quick-release fastener.
Fully-charged batteries allow the vest to work in hot conditions for 3 to 4 hours.
Bulletproof vests or bulletproof jackets simply refer to the protective clothing that is designed to be bullet-resistant. Contrary to their popular name, these vests are actually not bulletproof as the steel in armored vehicles are. They are only made from many layers of woven and laminated fabric materials that resist the puncturing actions of fired bullets.

A lot of writing about exotic places comes about through a self-indulgent need to record our own experiences, but this shouldn't be the fuel for your travel articles. As much as you might want to share the personal details of your last summer holiday, the chances are that no one else will want to read it. Think about the order of the information that you are presenting, the chances are that a linear structure isn't totally appropriate, as you'll need to decide what information to present and what to omit. This is usually just a matter of practice, so as you build up a portfolio you'll be able to see what works and what doesn't.
When you are test-driving your car, be sure it really works with regards to your actual necessities. If you have little ones and are installing child car seats, bring them along to see precisely how they fit. For people with tools to carry for your job, make sure they can fit adequately within the bed or trunk. This will give you a good sense of how good the vehicle fits your way of life and requirements.
