Quick question

[Stubby]

For the interior of the helmet/armor, what are all the electronics that are needed? (I.E. fans and the speakers etc.)

[Daetrin[Admin]]

None are needed, but many put in fans & vox. I think some have put in FRS radio systems, mp3 players, etc.

[Stubby]

Alright, that works for me then. Thanks.

Better question.

 

What do you guys put in your helmets?

[Smitty]

I have voice electronics and thats it as far as electrical goes.

I'm still in assembly phase on these helmets, but I have some small (40x40x10mm) quiet computer fans, and am accumulating shielded wiring, omnidirectional microphone elements, headphones, voice amps, speakers, and radios to go in them. As I go, the better it all falls into place. I love these buckets -- if you know what you're doing around electronics, there's a lot of workroom in there.

 

My end aim is to have fans to keep air moving past the face; internal mic that splits input to 1) the voice amp and from there to the p/a speaker, and 2) the radio (push-to-talk); external mics for binaural outside sound going into stereo earphones, with the right one also having output from the radio. All self-contained to the helmet.

 

I'm leaving some space around the goggles to one day maybe even trick out a full filtered-optical system, but that's a veeeeeery long-range project.

So have you gotten yourself a digital camera yet?

I put a hard hat liner and lots of sweat.

Nope. *lol* I've got other, directly-costume-related things a spare hundred or two would be better spent on. I am taking WIP photos on film, though. I'm so old-fashioned. -__-

Thanks Jonah, that'll give me a good idea on what I want to do with the helmet.
