The amount of money that gets pumped into these solutions by late stage capitalistic companies and governments is absurd.

    I wonder how much heat it has to output to cool down one person

    Probably less than running an AC to cool a whole house/room

    Sure, but the second you leave that cooling box, you're going to be hot again.

    Im in a very hot country with crappy AC systems. Id love something like this as the heat just saps my energy throughout the day but being in a cool/cold environment for a little bit sorta regenerates me and keeps me going for longer
