Wombat Ware
iPad Mini 6 Cooling Case
If you’ve run into an issue of your iPad overheating whilst in flight, this cooling case is for you!
Many pilots rely on navigation software through the likes of an iPad, and this new product on Kickstarter may end up saving you a few headaches. Mechanical Engineer Julian Chua launched Wombat Ware to help pilots avoid their primary navigation device overheating, causing eventual thermal shutdown. The cooling capabilities not only helps prevent the shutdown, but it also helps the device run smoother by keeping it at an optimal temperature.
The case features a temperature sensor that detects when the iPad is getting too hot. Once the iPad exceeds 32 degrees Celsius, it triggers the fans to disperse air around it, creating a continuous airflow.
The case keeps a low profile and is incredibly light at only 110g, so should you should not encounter any issues when mounting it inside your cockpit. Speaking of mounting, the case includes an AMPS 4-hole pattern on the back, making it compatible with almost every mounting device on the market.
You can back the project on Kickstarter for $279, or check out the whole range of Wombat Ware cases at getwombatware.com
