Helmet fan?

[TheHungrySquirrel]

Now this may already be a thing? But with this recent heat it's been hot in the coppice with a hat on so I figured a fan in the hat could be useful.

 

So far I have it down to using a 9v notebook fan with a switched 9v battery holder with rechargeable battery's in it.

 

But where to place it in the hat for best airflow? The back would be good but maybe on top near the vents?

I am all in favour of a helmet fan. I am fed up of waiting until I get on the ground to stuff a blower down my trousers to cool off.

I think you might have your helmets mixed up.

Didn't they do Wilma's rainbow?

I,ve been wanting to make one for a long time, I suffer badly from my brain boiling on hot days. I personally think its due to me being so hot.
