NU12 #12: I'm so hot, I'm too cool!

            Being in a tropical country, summers become borderline unbearable too walk to. We'd rather stay home or go to a mall, even then the malls are sometimes too crowded and we feel that even the air conditioning doesn't work. So what do we do? Especially if we have jobs and don't have the luxury these students call "summer break".  They even complain it is too short. Lucky them, we don't even know what a summer break is, maybe somewhere in our past we have come to understand that but that has now become just a distant dream.

           

            So going to work, especially in work clothes, heat becomes a mood factor and to some extreme cases affects our productivity. So what I'm suggesting is a battery operated cooling system for the body. Imagine a tube as big enough as a straw spewing cool air to your body. It will be powered by a rechargeable unit not bigger than a credit card which you can strap on your arm, wrist, ankle or any other part of your body you feel comfortable strapping it into, then it is connected to a tube the circumference the size of a straw, where you can also strap inside your clothes or your body  or any part of your body you want cooled, maybe your feet (inside your shoe), your back, your chest, or even your head.

            Imagine, you're in a suit, inside that suit there is a cool breeze so you need not sweat when you're walking around Makati or even your office. You can recharge the battery using a USB charger, so you can use your laptop or desktop or even a wall charger to charge the battery. Oh and did I mention this equipment is portable? 4
