my cool suit was purchased commercially, the cooler system i use was purchased used on ebay, used by someone for thermal therapy, about $40. The tube ends mated with each other fine. In my racecar im required to have dry disconnects for safety reasons, and this is standard on _some_ of the coolers. I bought an adapter at radio shack that hooks my 9ish volt DC cooler pump to my cars 12v supply.

hope that helps someone

Here is another cooling seat cover that I found and it requires not electricity. Couldn’t find any reviews on it though.

I actually saw the Water-Cooled vest on Modern Marvels the other day.

It just pumps the water from a source like an ice chest around your body.

Don’t most of your solutions require some form of energy? The vest would require a cooling source for the water, I assume, or you’d end up heating the water to body temperature anyway.As best I can tell numbers 3 and 4 would also require power sources. I can assume these would come either from the DC outlet in the car, therefore shifting the fuel usage from the built-in A/C to these, or from batteries of some sort which would also cost money. I’m just not entirely convinced that these methods improve energy costs or usage.

Best thing in Arizona to use for personal cooling is those personal misters. http://mistymate.stores.yahoo.net/personal-cooling.html

We used to have one, and it was amazing for the dry heat. Only problem was that it broke after about a year. I guess the plastic they use can’t handle the constant pressure because it developed holes and the water would spray out of the bottle when I tried pumping it up.

RE: #4, Um, could you explain to me why you think using ice cubes is more economical than running your air conditioner. How exactly do you think ice is made? While I haven’t done the math, I’m thinking the AC unit in my car is probably just a tiny little bit more fuel efficient than the coal->electricity->refrigeration(a/c)->ice cube->cold storage-> distribution->instructables-gizmo method.

I work as a volunteer scrutineer (tech inspector) for the SCCA and several of the club racers use these shirts.
