This Self-Drying Jacket Is Straight Out of 'Back to the Future'
Great Scott! "Back to the Future" fans may be waiting for time machines
and (true) hoverboards to be invented, but a self-drying jacket similar to
that Marty McFly wore in "Back to the Future Part II" may soon make an
addition to your wardrobe.
Falyon Wearable Tech, a San Francisco-based startup, has developed
a jacket that can dry itself from the inside out just in minutes. The "Back to
the Future"-inspired jacket,known as SDJ-01, works by moving
high-pressure air in the enclosed space between the coat's inner lining
and outer layer.
The jacket's air amplifiers are powered by rechargeable battery fitted
into an inner pocket. Falyon said it will take around 1 or 2 minutes to
dry out the jacket — after you get beaten by the rain, for example ,also
the battery can operate the system up to 30 minutes. The power of these
built-in air amplifiers is equal to or better than that of commercially available
hair dryers, according to the company.
