I wonder how much heat it has to output to cool down one person
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 44d
Probably less than running an AC to cool a whole house/room

Sure, but the second you leave that cooling box, you're going to be hot again.

Temporary relief offers your body a fighting chance against high temperatures. It's not in vain.

Im in a very hot country with crappy AC systems. Id love something like this as the heat just saps my energy throughout the day but being in a cool/cold environment for a little bit sorta regenerates me and keeps me going for longer

I mean, one of these around just a bed could be pretty sweet. Sleep under a pile of cozy blankets without ever getting overheated...

Approximately as much heat as is removed from the inside of the box.
It's a heat pump, it moves heat.

The amount of money that gets pumped into these solutions by late stage capitalistic companies and governments is absurd.

Because ice packs are so damn inconvenient.

as effective as peeing in your pants to stay warm in a winter storm 😅
