RollerFan is a wearable sail that allows the user to move faster on rollerblades.

It's hard to rollerblade fast when it is windy. RollerFan harnesses the wind from any direction to push the user forward. We created this project so that the user could go faster on rollerblades with less effort.  RollerFan is made out of two flat wooden beams, one is facing vertically and another is facing horizontally to make the skeleton of the sail. Sewed onto the beams is a quarter-circle piece of Tyvek to from a sail. The fabric that the sail is made out of is a plastic-like fabric that does not allow air through. This fabric allows the sail to be able to harness more wind. RollerFan helps rollerbladers move with more ease when there is wind. This project could even be adapted for skateboarders too. 

RollerFan is a sail-like an object that allows the user to move faster on rollerblades.

While rollerblading its hard to go faster in the wind so we created this sail that can catch the wind from a certain direction and use it to push you forward. We created this project so that the user could go faster on rollerblades with less effort required. We did this by having two different flat poles that hold up a quarter circle sail. We sowed the sail onto the poles so that it would all be one piece. In our project, we used wood and a windproof plastic-like fabric. We used this fabric so that more wind would be able to push on the sail. People who would use this would be people who ride on rollerblades and are annoyed of having to fight the wind each time they ride, and maybe even skateboarders.
