TOMSK, January 8 – RIA Tomsk. Students of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) develop gloves with heating
up, which will work with an accumulator, one of developers of the device Maxim
Boyarsky reported to RIA Tomsk.
"We create gloves which protected hands from cooling due to heating of
the nichrome wire entwining all palm. Gloves can be made of any fabric, thread
will be sewed between two of its layers", – Boyarsky told.
He explained that nichrome thread will heat up by means of the small
accumulator approximately the same, as in the cell phone. It will settle down
around a wrist, it will be possible to recharge it from a socket.

According to Boyarsky, the accumulator shouldn't create discomfort when
wearing gloves, and the wire won't hold down the movement of fingers.
As developers note, the invention is intended for the people living in a
frigid climate. Athletes and workers can also use it. The device has no domestic
analogs; it is distinguished by the low cost and longer period of work from
foreign ones. "All known analogs of the device work from batteries, their
charge, especially at a frost, is enough for small time", – Boyarsky
noted.
He added that use of nichrome thread allows to cover with all surface of a
hand with the warming element, including the back side. It will be possible to
regulate temperature by means of a thermostat. Now students create a device
prototype,it is planned that the first glove will appear at the beginning
of this year.
