“Welding can be hazardous not only to the eyes but also to the lungs. Welders
often breathe in gases which are harmful to the lungs. The National Institute of
Occupational Safety (NIOS) has called for the use of safety helmets which not
only protect the eyes and face but also filter the air which welders breathe in while
they are at work. Michael Buckman has invented just such as protective gear
called the WindMaker Helmet. A glass faceplate protects the face and eyes. At the
same time, the helmet draws in fresh air from behind the welder. The air is filtered
by the helmet and drawn to the front for breathing in. A fan near the chin helps
expel, blowing away toxic smoke in the work zone. LED lights on each side of the
faceplate illuminate the welding job while a thick shroud deflects sparks.”

WindMaker?
