Handycooler Personal Air Conditioner
Summer might be over for most of us, but those who live in tropical climates that is basically sweltering all year round, the Handycooler Personal Air Conditioner might come in handy especially during the more unbearable moments.
Take cool air with you with our new Handycooler personal air conditioner! Evaporative cooling is the trick here. Simply drizzle a few ounces of water onto a sponge, and place it in a device a little bigger than a cordless phone, and enjoy cool breezes wherever you go. The fan draws air over the damp sponge, cooling it by up to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The ducted fan rotates to move the air where you want it, but you’re gonna want to blow that heavenly cool air right past your sweating noggin.
It will require a quartet of AA batteries to keep running, so we’d suggest getting rechargeable batteries to go along with this if you want to be environmentally friendly in the long run. Of course, four batteries will bring you around 5 hours of cooling, but you can always opt for USB power whenever your computer or notebook is turned on. The Handycooler Personal Air Conditioner will retail for $39.99 a pop.

I thought Ipod was the only thing that is getting small, but it seems air conditioner is following be hide.
This is getting crazy for air conditioner!
“The fan draws air over the damp sponge, cooling it by up to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.”
I don’t see how does the air cool to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s so small.
I guesses it doesn’t has the basic components like a regular air conditioner units does.
The disadvantage it take 4 double A batteries, you have to carry water, take it dirty dust and recirculate to your face with cool air.

This is essentially a swamp cooler and is best suited to use in hot, dry areas. You are basically exchanging hot dry air for cooler moist air so if you live in an area with high humidity, its effectiveness will be diminished. Forty dollars is quite a lot, however, for what can be easily duplicated by draping a wet towel over a fan.
