I have seen many crazy things being invented in the last couple of years but this could top it all. A shirt with air conditioning that can be plugged into a usb port ? Now, we know that all kinds of strange gadgets exist that are usb powered like beverage coolers and air fans. This shirts actually have two fans build into them that run on a low frequency and keep the temperature level of your body at a cool level.

id like to try this one out, tropical country,and its hot in here!

nice idea... i thounk i would get something like that...
although, why the heck to people always have to produce stuff in usb powered?? Having to plug myself into my pc seems weir, and i already dread the first time someone forgets to plug out and pulls his usb hub with hdd etc through the room to the bathroom or something

Hm, but thinking about it, maybe you could put a small id chip in the shirt, then the pc could tell you stuff like "same shirt for 3 days???" or something =)

I think I will stick with my old air fan :>
btw how much does it cost ?

Haha... cool idea..
U have cooler on ur shirt

Over the past few months I have seen some crazy USB devices such as fans, lights, and drink coolers. Overall, I have to say that this invention is by far the craziest thing that I have ever seen in my opinion. What will they think of next?

Maybe a usb powered book?

Hah, thats an awesome shirt!

Wouldn't it be easyer and more portable to find some big arteries that are just under skin, attach something that looks like hose(small) but flat on one side that could stick to your skin and permit a circuit of watercooling through it, blood will than exchange heat in atempt to equal both environments temperatures and the hart will distribue it through the body thus cooling us. These hose should be atach on many arteries because it only cools blood at local-level.

If you want visual, compare it with tape only a bit fatter to permit water pass.

wow debeaxcc, you have some wicked ideas... =)
but i fear that might feel rather weird, if you start cooling just parts of your body, and I'm not sure it this would mess with your health...
but if that would work, that would be cool...

and i just noticed that the shirt is battery powered and that the usb plug is one way to charge it... it also includes a car adapter to charge on the road =)

Rofl, I'd love to get my hands on one. It can really get hot during intense LAN sessions

i cant find the cost $$$

If you're hot in your room.... why not just get an air conditioner? I'd only find this shirt handy if I could carry it around with me outside, with the fans whirring, but that cannot happen since it runs off of USB power. It could probably be useful for people who carry their laptops around with them, but for Desktop users who are sitting in their room... I think an air conditioner would be a better investment.

Hey dud, you didn't read carefully enough, it is battery powered, the usb thing is a charger.

All I'm going to say, is I told you so. I may not have said anything about it here, but I have been saying that in the future we're all going to have our own personal ac bubbles. Here's the first invention that's going to take us there. Just keep watching, it'll be invented eventually, trust me.

Oh my God ! This world gets crazy. But it`s nice idea
