Abstract:
The LED motorcycle lighting system is designed to help improve visibility of riders during night and day riding. The system includes an array of LED lights disposed in a housing adapted for mounting on a weight-balanced bracket. The weight-balanced bracket is adapted for mounting on a motorcycle's caliper mount to secure the LED lamp to the vehicle. Using two weight-balanced mounting brackets, a first LED lamp is mounted on the left front of the motorcycle, while a second LED lamp is mounted on the right front of the motorcycle. The system uses pulse width modulated current drivers fed by an adjustable PWM signal to allow brightness adjustment of the lights by the user to suit a particular riding situation. A handlebar-mounted potentiometer adapted for adjusting the PWM signal provides easy access to the user for brightness control of the lights.
A compact cooling system for vehicle operators is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: providing a variable speed compressor; coupling a radiator to the compressor with a tube; installing a fan adjacent to the radiator; coupling an expansion chamber to the radiator with a tube; coupling a cooling plate to the expansion chamber with a tube; coupling a fluid reservoir to the cooling plate with a tube through which cooling fluid can be transferred; coupling a fluid pump to the fluid reservoir with a tube, the cooling plate including an inlet port for receiving warm cooling fluid from a cooling garment and an outlet port for transferring chilled cooling fluid to the cooling garment via the fluid reservoir and the fluid pump; positioning thermal sensors proximately to the inlet port and the outlet port; and configuring a controller in electrical connection with the compressor, the fan, and the fluid pump, the controller being configured to determine a temperature differential between the thermal sensors and to automatically control the operation of the compressor, the fan, and the fluid pump based on the temperature differential.
