From wearing broad-brimmed hats to voluminous clothing to fans (both manual and electric), we’ve tried many methods to beat the heat, but of them all, only one has ever been truly successful: air conditioning.
Anyone who has ever walked from sweltering heat into an air-conditioned building or vehicle knows the delicious relief it affords. Sadly, like all good things, air-conditioning comes with some problems. One of these is environmental (air conditioning being an incredibly energy intensive process), but the other is that air conditioning currently only exists inside buildings or vehicles – you can’t take air conditioning with you. Or can you?
The challenge
This month’s challenge, then, is to devise a method of portable air conditioning.
Something that allows individuals to regulate their personal temperature even when
outside. As usual, we have something in
mind, but we’d love to hear your ideas.
