Put a CD on top of hat, reflective side up. At the center of CD
drill a hole and put a small black chimney , 1 cm thick, 10 cm
tall. Put small holes on sides of hat.
CD reflects sunlight onto chimney heating it up, thus starting
passive convection drawing air from within hat
Statistics has
shown that 1% of any society in desert areas
will be willing to wear this hat.
This idea is an extension of another invention called "solar
cooling hat" on HB.

This has unlimitless potential [+] |
|
|
taking that as a complement. |
|
|
another invention? would you care to link it? |
|
|
Soooo.... this is like cooling your house by building a fire in
the fireplace. Which does work, sort of. |

Statistics show that 13% of people will believe anything, as
long as it's prefixed "statistics show." Unfortunately [VJW]
got the incantation wrong, so I'm not buying it. |

This is old hat. It's just convectional widsom. |
|
|
This is good. There is some room for improvement, including changing the title, but bun. [+] |

"A solar chimney often referred to as a thermal chimney is a way of improving the natural ventilation of buildings by using convection of air heated by passive solar energy. A simple description of a solar chimney is that of a vertical shaft utilizing solar energy to enhance the natural stack ventilation through a building." |

What CD would be most appropriate? Perhaps not Fire, Im on Fire. |
|
|
CD should not contain any data, especially microsoft
windows. |
|
|
CD serves dual purpose. It completely reflects
sunlight from top of hat thus keeping the hat cooler.
Reflected sunlight falls on chimney, thereby creating
convection. Two birds in one stone! |
|
|
For night use, a candle could be balenced upon the wearer's head to aid convection. |

Indeed! Rather bad for those with lots of hairspray though... |
