AB  - Abstract

It is more challenging to maneuver and perform your daily chores and activities during the wintertime. Working in a cold environment can cause several adverse effects on human performance and health. Workers suffering from exposure to the cold can experience thermal discomfort, increased strain, decreased performance, and cold-related diseases and injuries such as frostbite and hypothermia. The winter season makes it challenging to go outside and perform outdoor chores and activities without the proper attire. Keeping your hands warm is especially crucial because they lose heat very fast if exposed directly to the elements. There is only so much warmth that a thin layer of fabric can provide. On those extra chilly days, the freezing temperatures and blistering winds can seemingly cut right through your gloves and leave your fingers numb. In this paper, we develop a self-heated glove with power generated from the movement of your hand. Like a squeeze flashlight, the depression of a handle will power a motor and create an electrical current. As the current flows through the heating plates woven into the glove's fabric, the plate will release heat to the glove. By using the power of your hands, you will stay comfortable and warm while enjoying outdoor winter activities. The paper also describes the prototype, data, and future applications of the system. What's more, this work teaches students to master various skills, such as research, collaboration, design, construction, and technical writing.
