It’s 87 degrees and scorching outside, you desperately want a Slurpee, but the nearest 7-11establishment is about about 5 blocks down. You could go out for a walk, but the heat is so intense you don’t think you can make it there and back. You might be able to take a drive, but- wait a minute- car’s impounded. So what do you do- risk burning to a crisp for a delicious drink, or struggle through this insane weather, Slurpeeless?
Thankfully, you may never have to face this dangerous predicament again! Good News, Everyone! I just finished putting the latest touches on my newest Summer Mattraption- my brand new Executive Style Handheld Air Conditioner! Portable and eco-friendly, this useful device promises to keep you cool with only 4 AA batteries and ice water!
Author’s Note: I recently took this with me when I went on vacation to Hawaii and, I don’t mean to brag, but it worked phenomenally.
The concept is simple: a bilge pump transports cold water from an ice cooler, and is then pumped through a wound coil of copper tubing, which surrounds the circumference of an electric fan. Thus, when the bilge pump circulates the flow of ice water around the metal copper tubing coils, the cold air is sucked around them and produces and Eco Friendly blast of cold air.
Now imagine that same concept, except 70% smaller.
Instead of using a bilge pump, I opted out for a miniature water pump from a desktop fountain, a stainless steel 3 ltr Thermos instead of an ice cooler, and a mini plastic handheld fan. The final result? A conditioner that is as classy as it is portable.
