Sky and Virgin Media enjoy something of a tetchy relationship at present, and who could blame them? Together, they monopolise a huge portion of the pay-TV, broadband, mobile and home television markets.
True, whilst the two companies are fierce rivals on all fronts, they’ve found room for cooperation in the past, like in the appearance of Sky channels like Cinema and Sports on Virgin TV platforms. However, that was mandated by the media regulator Ofcom, who demanded that Sky’s services be available on all platforms.
Now, in a show of rare cooperation, Sky and Virgin Media have announced a strategic partnership which will enable businesses of all sizes to benefit from a more advanced form of TV advertising across both platforms. Advertisers will soon be able to leverage a potential audience of more than 30 million viewers, putting it on par with the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
The partnership centres around Sky’s AdSmart platform, which uses location data for each individual customer and deep knowledge of customers traits and habits to surface adverts which are specifically relevant to their location and life, in much the same way online adverts work. Additionally, Sky will benefit from technology developed by Virgin Media owner Liberty Global.
The partnership targets both linear (traditional) TV and Video-On-Demand platforms across both systems to “transform the scale of addressable TV advertising in the UK”, whilst making use of the trusted and quality medium that is television.
To understand why this is quite a big deal you have to understand the nature of traditional television advertising. Because television is the same across the whole country (bar some region specific channels), competition for advertising slots was high and the only feasible way to advertise would be to be a national business.
That locked out a huge number of smaller business who, when the internet matured, abandoned any hope of advertising on TV and moved online. This, in turn, created a vacuum for advertisers on TV and, as small businesses did well advertising online, a decline in demand for TV advertising.
That’s what these new platforms aim to address. By offering hyper-local advertising, they can charge significantly less for a slot, enabling smaller businesses to leverage the TV platform. When Sky and Virgin claim this will be akin to a revolution for TV advertising, they aren’t kidding – it’s a real reformulation of the equation, and one which should have the contact Sky phone lines lighting up in short order.

The next annual meeting of the Mariological Society of America (MSA) will be held May 15-18, 2018 at the Bergamo Center in Dayton, Ohio. The theme of this year's conference will be: The Blessed Virgin Mary's Relationship to the Sacraments of Healing and Christian Vocation. The Call for Papers will last until October 15, 2017.
This tiny little booklet (available in paperback, e-book, or kindle) is small enough to fit in your purse or back pocket, but powerful enough to save a soul. The Marian Brothers are praying that it becomes the standard booklet on how to pray the rosary found in parishes, schools, seminaries, prisons, and, well ... everywhere.
This book contains all you need to know about the twenty-six men and women who have made the rosary a major part of their spiritual lives and championed it to the world. These champions encouraged others to glorify God, honor Mary, and save souls through the blessed beads of Our Lady. You will be very inspired by this book. Who knows, you could be the twenty-seventh champion!
3) "Queen of the Rosary" canvas image available in Color or Black and White.
In this beautiful artistic depiction of Our Lady, the Queen of the Rosary is shown holding a rosary in one hand and a sword in the other. She stands on top of the ancient serpent, puncturing its head with the sword and offering the viewer the spiritual-sword of the rosary. This image is very unique and you will love it!
All of the above items can be purchased on the following website: www.fathercalloway.com. On that same website, you will find many other products, as well as information on the many pilgrimages led by Father Donald Calloway, MIC. If you have never gone on a Catholic pilgrimage, pray about joining him on one!
Please consider helping their seminarians by purchasing these items and letting your friends on Facebook and other social media outlets know about these new products on the rosary.
Lastly, please check out the 4-minute video which Father Calloway recently did for the Knights of Columbus on the rosary. It's especially meant to help men pray the rosary.
The article below was sent by Brother John Samaha with the following comment: "A Tribute to Teachers ..."
The Teacher's Calling by Brother John Samaha, S.M.
Teachers can easily become discouraged in their efforts. They are a few attempting to accomplish much. If the twelve chosen by Jesus leavened the world, what about us? Hear St. John Chrysostom on this concern: "For a leaven converts the large quantity of meal into its own quality (Mt 13:33); even so shall you convert the world.... Let nobody reprove us, therefore, for being few. For great is the power of the Gospel and what is once leavened becomes leaven in return for the remainder.... Now, if twelve men leavened the whole world, imagine the extent of our weakness in that we cannot, in spite of our numbers, improve what is left. We ought to be enough for a thousand worlds and to become leaven for them. But they were the Apostles. So what? Were they not partakers, with you? Were they not raised in circumstances like yours? Did they not enjoy the same benefits? Did they not practice trades? Were they angels? Did they come down from heaven?"
St. Basil the Great explained that the preachers and teachers who proclaim the Gospel are the lips and eyes of the Holy Spirit to enlighten and guide the hearts of the faithful. They are the enablers and coaches training the members of the team to serve Christ, "equipping the saints for the work of ministry, for building the body of Christ." (Eph 4:12) Priests and religious educators discover and form the spiritual talents of learners for evangelization, witness, and service to the needy for the building of the Mystical Body of Christ.
The task of ministry is twofold: to gather and train the people of God for worship, instruction, and empowering; then to scatter them across the world as servants of the Lord. We not only go to church, we are the Church. Living the liturgy begins when we depart the church doors.
Mindful of our calling to this ministry, and faithful to our missionary role to bring others to Christ, we forge ahead to attract others to join us in understanding and living our royal priesthood.
In the Marianist perspective, teachers participate with the Blessed Virgin Mary in drawing others into the life of Christ.
The program will include the presentation of the fifteenth Pro Ancilla Domini award and the inauguration of the new library at the Marianum. For more information, email marianum@marianum.it.
Pope Francis explained that the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, celebrated on August 15, 2017, concerns in fact the "future" of the baptized, of humanity: she announces "Christ's victory" over evil.
The Holy Father posted this message on his account @Pontifex: "Mary's Assumption regards our future: it turns our gaze heavenward announcing the new heaven and new earth with Christ's victory."
Pope Francis had already published a "Marian" Tweet last Sunday, August 13. He stressed the virtue of humility. "Mary shows us that humility is not the virtue of the weak, but of the strong who do not mistreat others to feel themselves important."
A California Catholic school is facing a backlash from parents after officials took down some religious statues--including one of Mary and baby Jesus--over concerns that they were "alienating" prospective students.
The head of the San Domenico School in San Anselmo said parents of some prospective students who visited the campus--which was founded in 1850 and serves 671 students grades K-12--expressed concern about the religious figures, according to the Marin Independent Journal.
"If you walk on the campus and the first thing you confront is three or four statues of St. Dominic or St. Francis, it could be alienating for that other religion, and we didn't want to further that feeling," Amy Skewes-Cox, who chairs the school's board of trustees...."
Find out what images of Mary might be the most popular ? depending on who you ask. Learn about the significance of the inkwell in some Marian art. Salus populi romani (Protectress of the Roman People) is also a selected topic this week.
This week's resources are in celebration of the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Wallace had one of his central characters take his own life, and in a tragic true-life twist, Wallace did the same, leaving behind a magnum opus that will be argued and digested for infinity. Serve up a tennis-ball-yellow cocktail that mimics the zest and bounce of one fallen literary legend.

Over 80 percent of adult Americans drive and driving is the number one way most Americans travel today. Five out of the top 10 most congested cities in the world are from the U.S. and that is why cities across the country are trying to find ways to combat congestion on existing roads.
Many urban planners at city departments of transportation want to get people out of their cars and riding bikes, taking buses, riding subways or trolleys and walking. Cars and drivers have become the scourge of urban cores. Ironically, many of us also ride bikes, take buses, and walk on streets.
Under the banner of Vision Zero or Complete Streets (see below), a number of cities are trying to place a diet of sorts on roads. New York City under the Vision Zero Banner has been working diligently to create road diets throughout the five boroughs. Prime example: taking a four lane street down to two to expand the sidewalk and place a bike path on either side. For many motorists, driving in a street that has been restricted like this promotes even more traffic congestion than before the road diet. Remember, the whole point is to get people out of their cars.
Vision Zero is an international program with the strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. The problem: the program takes a great deal of funds and is financially unsustainable even though the goal to end all traffic deaths is important.
Complete Streets is a transportation policy and design approach that requires streets to be planned, designed, operated, and maintained to enable safe, convenient and comfortable travel and access for users of all ages and abilities regardless of their mode of transportation.
Pushing back against Road Diets and Traffic Calming is Possible!
Motorists are fighting back. In 2017, commuters using two important commuting thoroughfares in Playa del Rey became so enraged that they not only formed two groups to fight city hall but also started a recall campaign against the city councilman who championed the road diet in the first place. In October, the city reversed the road diet.
As reported last May, business owners in Minneapolis are also fed up with traffic calming measures. Here is another story about plans for doubling bike lanes in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The NMA is opposed to road diets and traffic calming or any measure or regulation that is deliberately designed to inconvenience and hinder the legitimate travel of responsible motorists. If your neck of the woods has started discussing road diets and traffic calming or you already see the results hindering the flow of traffic, check out the NMA’s information on how to build opposition to traffic calming.
Did you know that increased traffic on residential streets is often caused by the mismanagement of the main arterials and collector streets? When cities improperly install stop signs, mistime traffic signals and underpost speed limits that have no relation to actual vehicle speeds, drivers will find other streets that flow better.
The NMA believes that the solution is not to further obstruct traffic flow by pushing the problem into someone else’s neighborhood. The real solution is to upgrade and improve the traffic handling capabilities of main thoroughfares. This means implementing physical improvements, as well as raising speed limits and synchronizing traffic controls to accommodate actual vehicle speeds. If main streets provide convenient access between home, work and shopping destinations, motorists will use them, versus alternate routes through residential neighborhoods.
In 2016, the National Motorists Association launched a STREETS THAT WORK initiative designed to influence lawmakers and educate the public on the societal benefits of freedom of mobility. The NMA initiative is the antidote for Vision Zero, which aspires by government mandate and at great cost – fiscally and in terms of personal autonomy – to reshape urban transportation.
Improved road safety that is realistic, fiscally sustainable, and doesn’t feel like a government-mandated social experiment.
An end to arbitrary mobility restrictions on urban streets that will decrease personal transportation options while increasing travel times.
One set of “rules of the road” for all users so that individual and shared responsibilities are clear to all.
Intelligent placement of bicycle paths that complement rather than displace motorized traffic.
Let’s face it, motorists have the largest majority of any interest group in the country. Collectively, we have a mighty big voice when it comes to things like road diets and traffic calming. Join the National Motorists Association to help bring that voice to more motorists around the country.
Terrific piece, every NMA member should send it to their township, county and state officials so they have a counter argument to the propaganda of the Vision Zero people.

text: [From the introduction]. Does the interplay between individual citizens and a supranational court therefore reflect a specifically ‘European’10 substance of citizenship? The paper elaborates on this question. I argue that, the change of influential actors does indeed reflect the particularity of citizenship in a non-state. The argument builds on other work on fragmented citizenship and citizens’ rights in Europe and elsewhere.11 It sustains the notion of a new type of citizenship which is not only fragmented but also derived from a mixed set of practices. The following four sections elaborate on the development, conceptualisation and implications of such practice in the EU. Section two summarises citizenship facts and findings. Section three revisits the concept of citizenship practice and summarises the socio-historical approach. Section four presents legal and political accounts of citizenship practice in the EU. Section five proposes to expand this perspective’s theoretical tools.

Taxes rise and the cost of living and austerity measures are stoking demands for Jordan's prime minister to resign.
Thousands of Jordanians have spent the past few days voicing their anger at proposed tax increases - and what they say is an already intolerably high cost of living.
They accuse the government of covering up failed economic policies and demand the resignation of Prime Minister Hani al-Mulki.
Jordan's economy has struggled in recent years because of the conflicts in neighbouring Syria and Iraq, and a shortfall in foreign aid.
Can a compromise be reached to avert a full-blown crisis? And what role are regional powers playing in the crisis?

For my doctoral dissertation, I conducted an exploratory case study of student and faculty satisfaction with online courses at a a large, suburban, community college in northern California. The research showed significant differences between student satisfaction and their success in online courses based upon student's interactions with their (a) instructor, (b) content, (c) classmates, (d) interface, and, (e) self.
Most online faculty were satisfied or very satisfied with teaching online however there was a wide disparity between student satisfaction, success and retention when comparing against the various instructors. Research beyond this dissertation would be necessary to better understand the causes of the disparities between student and faculty satisfaction in a given online course.

If you’re immersed in the tech world, odds are good that you’ve heard of the “gig economy”–a new world of business where independent contractors choose their own hours and the gigs they want through marketplaces like Uber, Lyft, and TaskRabbit.
But there’s a problem: Most rideshare drivers have never heard of the gig economy.
Stride found something interesting: 66% of the drivers they spoke to only work as a rideshare driver part-time, and most did not plan to work as drivers for more than a year.
This leads to a challenge–despite the fact that these drivers are depending on Uber for their income, they don’t necessarily understand the financial differences in the “gig economy” of 1099 forms instead of annual W-2s.
But even if you’re just driving for Uber or Lyft temporarily, you’re still part of the gig economy whether you like it or not.
This matters when it comes to filing taxes because drivers are able to take certain deductions (for instance, mileage and auto maintenance costs) since they’re using their automobiles for work purposes. And when you get a big fat tax refund check, that works.
Because the pay from “gig economy” companies like Taskrabbit, Lyft, and Uber can vary week from week, finances can be hard. That’s why it’s so important to recognize ways to save money on taxes–a little bit of paperwork now can give you a lot of extra money come tax time.

ড. বদিউল আলম মজুমদারের ওয়েবসাইট: 16TH AMENDMENT VERDICT: Have the critics read the judgment?
16TH AMENDMENT VERDICT: Have the critics read the judgment?
The story of the hawk snatching one's ears is well-known. As the story goes, the "victim" becomes so paranoid by a rumour that s/he does not even check its veracity. Unfortunately, the same is happening regarding our Supreme Court's recent unanimous judgment declaring the 16th Amendment unconstitutional. Many ruling party leaders and their beneficiaries appear to be hell-bent on establishing that the Hon'ble Chief Justice (CJ) has, in his judgment, belittled Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and committed contempt of our Parliament—without even reading the judgment.
It is a matter of serious concern that some of the critics do not stop with criticism of the judgment; they demand that it be scrapped or that the CJ resigns. They also threaten to wage a movement with a one-point demand of the CJ's removal. Any reasonable citizen would be concerned about the way the judgment was unnecessarily politicised.
In support of their claim that the CJ has not adequately recognised the contributions of Bangabandhu in our War of Liberation, the critics refer to, out of context, two sentences from the 799-page judgment. They quote: "No nation—no country is made of or by one person. If we want to truly live up to the dream of Sonar Bangla as advocated by our Father of the Nation, we must keep ourselves free from this suicidal ambition and addiction of 'I'ness. [The suicidal ambition] that only one person or one man did all this and etc."
A careful reader would note the first and third sentences represent a rhetorical general statement. The two sentences quoted above merely represent a rhetorical statement, and in no way intend to diminish the contributions of Bangabandhu. This is clear from the middle sentence, in which the CJ not only unequivocally recognised Bangabodhu as the Father of the Nation, but also expressed his desire to see Bangabandhu's dream of a Sonar Bangla become a reality. In the remaining part of this paragraph, it may be noted, the CJ expressed his frustration that the biggest barrier to the achievement of Bangabandhu's dream has been our sucidal addiction to 'I'ness. In his judgment, the CJ has forcefully argued that achieving Bangabandhu's dream would require our united efforts, rather than sticking to this suicidal 'I'ness.
The misuse of these two rhetorical sentences to create the misleading impression that the CJ has belittled the contribution of Bangabandhu becomes apparent when one reads other parts of the judgment. For example, in page 29, the CJ wrote "... Yahya Khan ultimately gave election which was held in December, 1971. It was beyond imagination of the Pakistani rulers, Awami League headed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman could secure a clear majority in the National Assembly and Provincial Assembly of East Pakistan ... Yahya Khan ultimately did not handover power ... rather he waged a war against unarmed and innconent people and committed the heinous genocide in the history of the modern world. He postponed the holding of National Assembly and massacred innumerable numbers of helpless Bangalees that led to the declarartion of independence by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 26th March 1971." As a humble admirer of Bangabandhu, I find no aspersion against him by the CJ. Those who are unscrupulously trying to find connection of the CJ with Pakistan, should also note the strong language with which he condemned the Pakistani genocide.
One should also note that while recognising Bangabandhu as the declarer of our independence and the Father of the Nation, the CJ has branded the two Martial Law Administrators as usurpers of power. In page 226 of the judgment, the CJ stated, "After independence, those unholy alliances of power-mongers twice reduced this country to a banana republic, where people are seen as commodity which can be bluffed and compromised at any unworthy cost to legalise their illegitimate exercise of power. They ... abused their position and introduced different bluffing tools (sometimes gonovote, sometimes rigged election and sometimes no election at all!) as means to prolong their power game."
Let us now come to the issue of contempt of Parliament. The CJ not only did not belittle it, rather he reprimanded the High Court Division for their snide remarks about the Parliament. In their judgment, the Justices of the High Court Division noted the criminal records of the MPs. They also mentioned that the MPs have been less serious about their law making reponsbility and hence the laws passed by them are defective, flawed and of low standard. The CJ chastised them by saying, "The above observations by the High Court Division regarding the members of Parliament are totally uncalled for and we do not endorse this view at all."
However, in view of the use of "unparliamentarian language" in criticising the judgment and the Judges after the High Court delcared the 16th Amendment unconstitutional, the CJ called our parliamentary democracy, not the present Parliament, immature. It may be noted that Article 78 of our Constitution grants the MPs absolute freedom of speech, although according to constitutional expert Mahmudul Islam, it is not applicable to the Justices (Constitutional Law of Bangladesh, 2012). In addition, the sections 53, 63 and 133 of the Parliament's Rules of Procedures bar the MPs from discussing the conduct of the President and the Judges in the Parliament, defying which they criticised the Judges in Parliament using vicious language.
One cannot help but get the impression from reading the entire judgment that our Attorney General's legal argument before the Court was rather weak, which he tried to compensate by introducing political issues and aggressiveness. Because of this introduction of political issues, the CJ had to address them in his judgment. It may be further noted that the CJ expressed shock at the Deputy Attorney General's strong resentment against some of the Amici Curiae and one of the Amici Curiae's derogatory remarks against the Judges.
To conclude, we are concerned that if the judiciary is pitted against the other two branches of the government, their relationship of mutual respect will be undermined, which will make all three branches weaker. When institutions become weak, the state becomes weak. In a weak state, the citizens are harmed. We must therefore immediately stop this suicidal course.

Today, I’m working on how to cool air, move air for cooling and condition air without using traditional expensive air conditioning systems or how to use the traditional systems with non-traditional alternative energy systems to power them.
Scientists have discovered that New York City is a “prime location for exploiting high-altitude winds.” In fact, a recent study by the Carnegie Institution and California State University found that globally, high-altitude winds like those over New York City could together meet the current energy needs of the world “100 times over”. After studying 28 years of data, the scientists found the “highest wind power densities over Japan and eastern China, the eastern coast of the United States, southern Australia, and north-eastern Africa,” according to Cristina Archer, of the California State University, Chico.
Well, it actually returned the same website with something about Cairo and the use of recycled elements to act as solar water heaters and stuff, then I clicked on a link for the above entry. That was last night, the very last thing I did before getting off the computer and going to bed, after speaking with my daughter in New York taking care of herself and my grandbaby without any fan or air conditioner in the middle of a heat alert weather thing.
Alternative energy power systems can be designed to fulfill a great number of functions, from interior and exterior lighting or dedicated water pumping to whole-house power systems. However, there are some household power needs that are simply not well suited to alternative energy power. The largest electric power loads in most households are the hot water heater, refrigerators and freezers, electric clothing dryers and ovens, and air conditioning. In general, anything that heats or freezes using electric power is not an efficient addition to an alternative energy system.
While air conditioning isn’t as common in Alaska as it is in many southern climates, some homes and many RVs use traditional air conditioning systems. One energy efficient alternative to traditional air conditioning is an evaporative cooling system, often called a “swamp cooler.” Evaporative coolers are an excellent option for interior cooling in dry climates.
A swamp cooler works by drawing air in through a vented surface of the cooler box, where it flows through a water saturated pad and is blown into the household or RV ventilation system. The heat in the air is used to evaporate water in the cooling pad, leaving the air much cooler and slightly more humid than when it entered the cooler. Swamp coolers are so much more efficient than traditional air conditioning because the only electrical draw in the cooling system is the circulating fan and a small circulating pump. They also avoid the environmental hazards of freon.
Swamp coolers are available not only in household sizes, but also in portable 12 volt DC models ideal for cooling an RV cab while driving, or a sleeping area at night. However, a swamp cooler will be completely ineffective in a humid climate. If the incoming air is already saturated with humidity, no evaporation will occur, and warm wet air will be blown into the living area. Also, if the moisture in the cooling pads cannot evaporate, the pads themselves will begin to develop an unpleasant odor, which will also be blown into the living area.
Of course the simplest way to cool without using an air conditioning system is to use window fans during hot summer months. When combined with exterior window shades, simply maintaining good air circulation through the house or RV can make a major difference in comfort level.
It continues with a discussion of each high-energy-draw appliance including heating, refrigerators/freezers, clothes dryers, gas stoves and energy efficient appliances generally.
Wait, I saw something else last night before I went to bed and closed up my computer about when and how air conditioners were created and invented in the first place. Let me find that. I thought that every city had programs to make fans and small air conditioners available to people who could not afford them, but maybe New York doesn’t do that, especially with the trillions of dollars in real estate there and Wall Street financial services. With that much money floating through the city, there probably is nothing but attitude, rather than kindness and mercy for people not eating $500 meals.
An air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to dehumidify and extract heat from an area. The cooling is done using a simple refrigeration cycle. In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is referred to as “HVAC“. Its purpose, in a building or an automobile, is to provide comfort during either hot or cold weather.
In 1758, Benjamin Franklin and John Hadley, professor of chemistry at Cambridge University, conducted an experiment to explore the principle of evaporation as a means to rapidly cool an object.
Franklin and Hadley confirmed that evaporation of highly volatile liquids such as alcohol and ether could be used to drive down the temperature of an object past the freezing point of water. They conducted their experiment with the bulb of a mercury thermometer as their object and with a bellows used to “quicken” the evaporation; they lowered the temperature of the thermometer bulb to 7&_160;°F (-14&_160;°C) while the ambient temperature was 65&_160;°F (18&_160;°C). Franklin noted that soon after they passed the freezing point of water (32°F) a thin film of ice formed on the surface of the thermometer’s bulb and that the ice mass was about a quarter inch thick when they stopped the experiment upon reaching 7&_160;°F (-14&_160;°C). Franklin concluded, “From this experiment, one may see the possibility of freezing a man to death on a warm summer’s day”.
In 1820, British scientist and inventor Michael Faraday discovered that compressing and liquefying ammonia could chill air when the liquefied ammonia was allowed to evaporate.
In 1842, Florida physician John Gorrie used compressor technology to create ice, which he used to cool air for his patients in his hospital in Apalachicola, Florida.
He hoped eventually to use his ice-making machine to regulate the temperature of buildings. He even envisioned centralized air conditioning that could cool entire cities. Though his prototype leaked and performed irregularly, Gorrie was granted a patent in 1851 for his ice-making machine.
His hopes for its success vanished soon afterward when his chief financial backer died; Gorrie did not get the money he needed to develop the machine. According to his biographer Vivian M. Sherlock, he blamed the “Ice King”, Frederic Tudor, for his failure, suspecting that Tudor had launched a smear campaign against his invention.
Dr. Gorrie died impoverished in 1855 and the idea of air conditioning faded away for 50 years.
Early commercial applications of air conditioning were manufactured to cool air for industrial processing rather than personal comfort. In 1902 the first modern electrical air conditioning was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier in Syracuse, New York. Designed to improve manufacturing process control in a printing plant, his invention controlled not only temperature but also humidity.
The low heat and humidity were to help maintain consistent paper dimensions and ink alignment. Later Carrier’s technology was applied to increase productivity in the workplace, and The Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America was formed to meet rising demand.
Over time air conditioning came to be used to improve comfort in homes and automobiles. Residential sales expanded dramatically in the 1950s.
The inverter tag found on some air conditioners signifies the ability of the unit to continuously regulate its thermal transfer flow by altering the speed of the compressor in response to cooling demand.
Traditional reverse-cycle air conditioners use a Compressor that is either working at maximum capacity or switched off in order to regulate the temperature of the room. A thermostat is used to measure the ambient air temperature and switch the compressor on when the ambient air temperature is too far from the desired temperature.
An alternate way to meet the varying cooling demand is to have the ability to vary the capacity of the compressor or as its technically called “Modulate” the capacity. An air conditioner compressor has two components, a mechanical part – the actual compressor and the electrical part – the motor to drive the compressor. Either of the components can be used to “modulate” the capacity. In Digital Scroll compressors – the mechanical Scrolls of the compression mechanism is controlled to “modulate” and the electric motor runs at constant speed. The other method is to control the speed of the compressors by various means.
Air conditioners bearing the inverter tag use a variable-frequency drive to control the speed of the motor and thus the compressor. The variable-frequency drive uses a rectifier to convert the incoming AC current to DC and then uses pulse-width modulation of the DC current within an inverter to produce AC current of a desired frequency. The AC current is used to drive a brushless motor or an induction motor. As the speed of a brushless motor is synchronized to the frequency of the AC current, it is thus possible to build a compressor that can be run at different speeds. Similarly, the voltage and frequency can be varied as needed to run an induction motor at different speeds. A microcontroller can then sample the current ambient air temperature and adjust the speed of the compressor appropriately. All this electronics of course does add to the complexity and comes at a cost, significant being the conversion losses from AC to DC and then back to AC which can be as high as 4 – 6 % for each conversion step.
I’ve noticed that there are heat waves and the problems associated with high temperatures across the country, not only in New York, but Atlanta as well and certainly out in the Gulf Coast areas where cleanup is being done and in the overseas war theaters of Afghanistan and elsewhere. There seems to be a need for personal cooling systems that could be used on a person outdoors and inside cooling systems that are less expensive and could use alternative energy choices.
There was an Australian neck bandana that provided cooling – what was that called? And, there are some clothing options which protect from the heat that I’ve seen used in desert races and for people who are allergic to the sunshine.
But that still doesn’t answer the basic question about home and sleeping environments, especially those who can’t afford hundreds of dollars to buy a traditional air conditioner – nor have the money to fund running it once they have it.
Back a few hundred years ago, there were systems built into homes and rooms that supported cooling which are no longer in use. These included high ceilings that took the hot air upside into the room, leaving the cooler air near the floor living areas and tall windows commonly across several walls where a cross-flow of air could be constructed simply by opening the right windows.
Because I live on a top floor apartment/condo, and have an attic access – in the summertime, not only do I have the sun coming in to heat the living space – I can also open the attic stairs and allow the heat to move upside into the attic space, leaving the cool air down place in the living areas.
I haven’t seen my daughter’s living space, but I’m guessing she has one or two front windows on one side and nothing else to remedy the air temperature. The other thing I’ve noted is that we all have severe air pollution coming from our cities and cars that infiltrate every system including air conditioning filters that are used in the systems now.
To put hepa filters and finer filters on these systems, forces the compressor to struggle and hinders the air flow while still allowing much of the very fine material and submicron materials to move through the system and nearly all chemicals coming from the outside or inside environment to move freely through the system unabated.
The same thing is happening with many of the face mask respirator systems in use out in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere for protection from chemicals and chemical fumes. These hinder the air flow and force the heart and lungs to pump harder to receive the air that is available going through the filters.
It needs a group of very serious solutions that work. And homes, businesses, community facilities and commercial buildings no longer built to passively cool the occupants, not made for air flow, not built for comfort in and of themselves to help the systems added for air cooling, heating and safe high quality breathable air – need to be updated to accommodate these things.
Yes, that is the real deal – I don’t know what the others are . . .
This page offers choices based on activity – but I didn’t see the cooling bandana – the other things are right, though – especially those for extreme heat.
Designed for extreme sport or heat, each garment works like a non-stop fan—scooping in air through carefully engineered mesh panels.
Designed for improved comfort in summer heat and humidity and during sport or strenuous activity.
okay so – which one?
A coolant is a fluid which flows through a device to prevent its overheating, transferring the heat produced by the device to other devices that use or dissipate it. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, non-toxic, and chemically inert, neither causing nor promoting corrosion of the cooling system. Some applications also require the coolant to be an electrical insulator.
While the term coolant is commonly used in automotive, residential and commercial temperature-control applications, in industrial processing, heat transfer fluid is one technical term more often used, in high temperature as well as low temperature manufacturing applications.
The coolant can either keep its phase and stay liquid or gaseous, or can undergo a phase change, with the latent heat adding to the cooling efficiency. The latter, when used to achieve low temperatures, is more commonly known as refrigerant.
Air is a common form of a coolant. Air cooling uses either convective airflow (passive cooling), or a forced circulation using fans.
Hydrogen is used as a high-performance gaseous coolant. Its thermal conductivity is higher than of all gases, it has high specific heat capacity, and low density and therefore low viscosity, which is an advantage for rotary machines susceptible to windage losses. Hydrogen-cooled turbogenerators are currently the most common electrical generators in large power plants.
Inert gases are frequently used as coolants in gas-cooled nuclear reactors. Helium is the most favored coolant due to its low tendency to absorb neutrons and become radioactive. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are frequently used as well.
Sulfur hexafluoride is used for cooling and insulating of some high-voltage power systems (circuit breakers, switches, some transformers, etc.).
Steam can be used where high specific heat capacity is required in gaseous form and the corrosive properties of hot water are accounted for.
The most common coolant is water. Its high heat capacity and low cost makes it a suitable heat-transfer medium. It is usually used with additives, like corrosion inhibitors and antifreezes. Antifreeze, a solution of a suitable organic chemical (most often ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or propylene glycol) in water, is used when the water-based coolant has to withstand temperatures below 0 °C, or when its boiling point has to be raised. Betaine is a similar coolant, with the exception that it is made from pure plant juice, and is therefore not toxic or difficult to dispose of ecologically.
Very pure deionized water, due to its relatively low electrical conductivity, is used to cool some electrical equipment, often high-power transmitters and high-power vacuum tubes.
Heavy water is used in some nuclear reactors; it also serves as a neutron moderator.
Polyalkylene Glycol or PAG’s are used as high temperature, thermally stable heat transfer fluids exhibiting strong resistance to oxidation. Modern PAG’s can also be non-toxic and non-hazardous.
Cutting fluid is a coolant that also serves as a lubricant for metal-shaping machine tools.
Oils are used for applications where water is unsuitable. With higher boiling points than water, oils can be raised to considerably higher temperatures (above 100 degrees Celsius) without introducing high pressures within the container or loop system in question.
Mineral oils serve as both coolants and lubricants in many mechanical gears. Castor oil is also used. Due to their high boiling points, mineral oils are used in portable electric radiator-style space heaters in residential applications, and in closed-loop systems for industrial process heating and cooling.
Silicone oils are favored for their wide range of operating temperatures. However their high cost limits their applications.
Fluorocarbon oils are used for the same reasons.
Transformer oil is used for cooling and additional electric insulation of high-power electric transformers.
Fuels are frequently used as coolants for engines. A cold fuel flows over some parts of the engine, absorbing its waste heat and being preheated before combustion. Kerosene and other jet fuels frequently serve in this role in aviation engines.
Freons were frequently used for immersive cooling of e.g. electronics.
Refrigerants are coolants used for reaching low temperatures by undergoing phase change between liquid and gas. Halomethanes were frequently used, most often R-12 and R-22, but due to environmental concerns are being phased out, often with liquified propane or other haloalkanes like R-134a. Anhydrous ammonia is frequently used in large commercial systems, and sulfur dioxide was used in early mechanical refrigerators. Carbon dioxide (R-744) is used as a working fluid in climate control systems for cars, residential air conditioning, commercial refrigeration, and vending machines.
Heat pipes are a special application of refrigerants.
Liquid fusible alloys can be used as coolants in applications where high temperature stability is required, e.g. some fast breeder nuclear reactors. Sodium or sodium-potassium alloy NaK are frequently used; in special cases lithium can be employed. Another liquid metal used as a coolant is lead, in e.g. lead cooled fast reactors, or a lead-bismuth alloy. Some early fast neutron reactors used mercury.
For very high temperature applications, e.g. molten salt reactors or very high temperature reactors, molten salts can be used as coolants. One of the possible combinations is the mix of sodium fluoride and sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaF-NaBF4). Other choices are FLiBe and FLiNaK.
Liquified gases are used as coolants for cryogenic applications, including cryo-electron microscopy, overclocking of computer processors, applications using superconductors, or extremely sensitive sensors and very low-noise amplifiers.
Liquid nitrogen, which boils at about -196 °C (77K), is the most common and least expensive coolant in use. Liquid air is used to a lesser extent, due to its liquid oxygen content which makes it prone to cause fire or explosions when in contact with combustible materials (see oxyliquits).
Lower temperatures can be reached using liquified neon which boils at about -246 °C. The lowest temperatures, used for the most powerful superconducting magnets, are reached using liquid helium.
Liquid hydrogen at -250 to -265 °C can also be used as a coolant. In the Reaction Engines Scimitar and the Reaction Engines SABRE hypersonic aircraft engines liquid hydrogen is used as a coolant in the precooler to cool down the air in the intake. At Mach 5, the intake can reach as high as 1000 °C so a precooler is needed to avoid melting of the engine parts. Liquid hydrogen is also used both as a fuel and as a coolant to cool nozzles and combustion chambers of rocket engines.
An emerging and new class of coolants are nanofluids which comprise of a carrier liquid, such as water, dispersed with tiny nano-scale particles known as nanoparticles. Purpose-designed nanoparticles of e.g. CuO, alumina, titanium dioxide, carbon nanotubes, silica, or metals (e.g. copper, or silver nanorods) dispersed into the carrier liquid the enhances the heat transfer capabilities of the resulting coolant compared to the carrier liquid alone. The enhancement can be theoretically as high as 350%. The experiments however did not prove so high thermal conductivity improvements, but found significant increase of the critical heat flux of the coolants.
Some significant improvements are achievable; e.g. silver nanorods of 55±12 nm diameter and 12.8 µm average length at 0.5 vol.% increased the thermal conductivity of water by 68%, and 0.5 vol.% of silver nanorods increased thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol based coolant by 98%.
Alumina nanoparticles at 0.1% can increase the critical heat flux of water by as much as 70%; the particles form rough porous surface on the cooled object, which encourages formation of new bubbles, and their hydrophilic nature then helps pushing them away, hindering the formation of the steam layer.
In some applications, solid materials are used as coolants. The materials require high energy to vaporize; this energy is then carried away by the vaporized gases. This approach is common in spaceflight, for ablative atmospheric reentry shields and for cooling of rocket engine nozzles. The same approach is also used for fire protection of structures, where ablative coating is applied.
Dry ice and water ice can be also used as coolants, when in direct contact with the structure being cooled.
Sublimation of water ice was used for cooling the space suits of astronauts in the Project Apollo.
There are 105 components in the system.
Stopped a little while to hear President Obama and President Medvedev speak which was historic and absolutely wonderful. Now, let’s see how that goes at the G-20 this weekend as finalizing touches are added with the other participants.
A number of fabrics and textiles in common use today need no further UV-blocking enhancement based on their inherent fiber structure, density of weave, and dye components – especially darker colors and indigo dyes. Good examples of these fabrics contain full percentages and/or blends of heavy weight natural fibers like cotton, linen and hemp or light-weight synthetics such as polyester, nylon, lycra and polypropylene. Natural or synthetic indigo dyed denim, twill weaves and canvas are also good examples. However, a significant disadvantage is the heat retention caused by heavier weight and darker colored fabrics.
Sun protective clothing was originally popularized (but not exclusively used) in Australia as an option or adjunct to sunscreen lotions and sunblock creams. Sun protective clothing and UV protective fabrics in Australia now follow a lab-testing procedure regulated by a federal agency: ARPANSA. This standard was established in 1996 after work by Australian swimwear companies. The British standard was established in 1998. The NRPB (National Radiological Protection Board) forms the basis of the British Standards Institute standard. Using the Australian method as a model, the USA standard was formally established in 2001, and now employs a more stringent testing protocol: This method includes fabric longevity, abrasion/wear and washability. (To date, the focus for sun protection is swimwear, appropriate hats, shade devices and sunglasses for children.) UPF testing is now very widely used on clothing used for outdoor activities.
The original UPF rating system was enhanced in the United States by the ASTM (American Standards and Testing Methods) Committee D13:65 at the behest of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to qualify and standardize the emerging sun protective clothing and textile industry. The UPF rating system may eventually be adopted by interested apparel and domestic textile/fabric manufacturers in the industry at large as a “value added” program strategic to complement consumer safety and consumer awareness.

A heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. One common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car, in which the heat source, being a hot engine-cooling fluid, water, transfers heat to air flowing through the radiator (i.e. the heat transfer medium).
There are two primary classifications of heat exchangers according to their flow arrangement. In parallel-flow heat exchangers, the two fluids enter the exchanger at the same end, and travel in parallel to one another to the other side. In counter-flow heat exchangers the fluids enter the exchanger from opposite ends. The counter current design is most efficient, in that it can transfer the most heat from the heat (transfer) medium. See countercurrent exchange. In a cross-flow heat exchanger, the fluids travel roughly perpendicular to one another through the exchanger.
For efficiency, heat exchangers are designed to maximize the surface area of the wall between the two fluids, while minimizing resistance to fluid flow through the exchanger. The exchanger’s performance can also be affected by the addition of fins or corrugations in one or both directions, which increase surface area and may channel fluid flow or induce turbulence.
The driving temperature across the heat transfer surface varies with position, but an appropriate mean temperature can be defined. In most simple systems this is the log mean temperature difference (LMTD). Sometimes direct knowledge of the LMTD is not available and the NTU method is used.
Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a series of tubes. One set of these tubes contains the fluid that must be either heated or cooled. The second fluid runs over the tubes that are being heated or cooled so that it can either provide the heat or absorb the heat required. A set of tubes is called the tube bundle and can be made up of several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc. Shell and Tube heat exchangers are typically used for high pressure applications (with pressures greater than 30 bar and temperatures greater than 260°C). This is because the shell and tube heat exchangers are robust due to their shape.
Tube diameter: Using a small tube diameter makes the heat exchanger both economical and compact. However, it is more likely for the heat exchanger to foul up faster and the small size makes mechanical cleaning of the fouling difficult. To prevail over the fouling and cleaning problems, larger tube diameters can be used. Thus to determine the tube diameter, the available space, cost and the fouling nature of the fluids must be considered.
Tube length: heat exchangers are usually cheaper when they have a smaller shell diameter and a long tube length. Thus, typically there is an aim to make the heat exchanger as long as physically possible whilst not exceeding production capabilities. However, there are many limitations for this, including the space available at the site where it is going to be used and the need to ensure that there are tubes available in lengths that are twice the required length (so that the tubes can be withdrawn and replaced). Also, it has to be remembered that long, thin tubes are difficult to take out and replace.
Tube pitch: when designing the tubes, it is practical to ensure that the tube pitch (i.e., the centre-centre distance of adjoining tubes) is not less than 1.25 times the tubes’ outside diameter. A larger tube pitch leads to a larger overall shell diameter which leads to a more expensive heat exchanger.
Baffle Design: baffles are used in shell and tube heat exchangers to direct fluid across the tube bundle. They run perpendicularly to the shell and hold the bundle, preventing the tubes from sagging over a long length. They can also prevent the tubes from vibrating. The most common type of baffle is the segmental baffle. The semicircular segmental baffles are oriented at 180 degrees to the adjacent baffles forcing the fluid to flow upward and downwards between the tube bundle. Baffle spacing is of large thermodynamic concern when designing shell and tube heat exchangers. Baffles must be spaced with consideration for the conversion of pressure drop and heat transfer. For thermo economic optimization it is suggested that the baffles be spaced no closer than 20% of the shell’s inner diameter. Having baffles spaced too closely causes a greater pressure drop because of flow redirection. Consequently having the baffles spaced too far apart means that there may be cooler spots in the corners between baffles. It is also important to ensure the baffles are spaced close enough that the tubes do not sag. The other main type of baffle is the disc and donut baffle which consists of two concentric baffles, the outer wider baffle looks like a donut, whilst the inner baffle is shaped as a disk. This type of baffle forces the fluid to pass around each side of the disk then through the donut baffle generating a different type of fluid flow.
Conceptual diagram of a plate and frame heat exchanger.
Another type of heat exchanger is the plate heat exchanger. One is composed of multiple, thin, slightly-separated plates that have very large surface areas and fluid flow passages for heat transfer. This stacked-plate arrangement can be more effective, in a given space, than the shell and tube heat exchanger. Advances in gasket and brazing technology have made the plate-type heat exchanger increasingly practical. In HVAC applications, large heat exchangers of this type are called plate-and-frame; when used in open loops, these heat exchangers are normally of the gasketed type to allow periodic disassembly, cleaning, and inspection. There are many types of permanently-bonded plate heat exchangers, such as dip-brazed and vacuum-brazed plate varieties, and they are often specified for closed-loop applications such as refrigeration. Plate heat exchangers also differ in the types of plates that are used, and in the configurations of those plates. Some plates may be stamped with “chevron” or other patterns, where others may have machined fins and/or grooves.
This type of heat exchanger uses “sandwiched” passages containing fins to increase the effectivity of the unit. The designs include crossflow and counterflow coupled with various fin configurations such as straight fins, offset fins and wavy fins.
Plate and fin heat exchangers are usually made of aluminium alloys which provide higher heat transfer efficiency. The material enables the system to operate at a lower temperature and reduce the weight of the equipment. Plate and fin heat exchangers are mostly used for low temperature services such as natural gas, helium and oxygen liquefaction plants, air separation plants and transport industries such as motor and aircraft engines.
This is a heat exchanger with a gas passing upwards through a shower of fluid (often water), and the fluid is then taken elsewhere before being cooled. This is commonly used for cooling gases whilst also removing certain impurities, thus solving two problems at once. It is widely used in espresso machines as an energy-saving method of cooling super-heated water to be used in the extraction of espresso.
Another type of heat exchanger is called “(dynamic) scraped surface heat exchanger“. This is mainly used for heating or cooling with high-viscosity products, crystallization processes, evaporation and high-fouling applications. Long running times are achieved due to the continuous scraping of the surface, thus avoiding fouling and achieving a sustainable heat transfer rate during the process.
The formula used for this will be Q=A*U*LMTD, whereby Q= heat transfer rate.
Power plants which have steam-driven turbines commonly use heat exchangers to boil water into steam. Heat exchangers or similar units for producing steam from water are often called boilers or steam generators.
In the nuclear power plants called pressurized water reactors, special large heat exchangers which pass heat from the primary (reactor plant) system to the secondary (steam plant) system, producing steam from water in the process, are called steam generators. All fossil-fueled and nuclear power plants using steam-driven turbines have surface condensers to convert the exhaust steam from the turbines into condensate (water) for re-use.
To conserve energy and cooling capacity in chemical and other plants, regenerative heat exchangers can be used to transfer heat from one stream that needs to be cooled to another stream that needs to be heated, such as distillate cooling and reboiler feed pre-heating.
Such types of heat exchangers are used predominantly in air conditioning, humidification, water cooling and condensing plants.
How does the shirt/poncho work?
Cool Shirt® contains more than 45 feet of medical grade capillary tubing securely stitched on the front and back of the shirt. The Resposable Poncho is made from material containing a network of channels that the cooled water flows through. They are both connected to a compact cooling unit via insulated hose with quick, dry disconnects. The cooling unit contains ice, water and an internal pump that supplies cool water to the Cool Shirt® as it covers up to 40% of the body.
How long will it keep the user cool?
It depends on what type of ice is used (block, crushed or cubed). All of the systems will cool for a longer period of time if BLOCK ice is used rather than crushed or cubed ice. Using block ice, the systems will cool for about 6-7 hours.
The system connects to any standard outlet via a UL-approved 110V Adaptor or can be connected to a 12V battery.
How do you assemble the system for use?
Attach the hoses to the cooling unit and the shirt to the hoses. Be sure the quick, dry disconnect fittings are fully seated by listening for an audible “click”. Add a gallon of water to the cooling unit. Add ice to the top of the cooler. The Cool Shirt® system is now ready for use. The system connects to any standard outlet via a UL-approved 110V Adaptor or to a 12V battery.
How do you adjust the temperature of the shirt or poncho?
The Temperature Controller is located on the insulated hose near the shirt/poncho. Simply adjust the roller on the controller to control flow and temperature on the shirt/poncho.
How can I tell that the shirt is working?
The shirt is designed to cool the user, not make them cold. The system is designed to maintain a comfortable temperature. As it is worn, the user can become very comfortable with the shirt or poncho and become unaware of the cooling it is actually providing. If unsure, the easiest way to see that it is working properly is to shut the system off. In less than two minutes, you will have the answer.
The Cool Shirt® can be hand or machine-washed and hung to quickly drip-dry or can be dried in a dryer using a laundry bag.
The Resposable Poncho can be washed in the same manner and hung to drip dry. It can withstand several washings before requiring replacement. However, it is not necessary to wash the poncho unless desired.
Interior: With each use, add 2 ounces of Maintenance Additive (MA-16) in the cooling unit with the ice and water while the unit is being used. This will keep the pump, hoses and shirt lines clear of the buildup that occurs naturally in water-circulation systems. Wipe out cooling unit after each use.
Exterior: When deemed necessary, wipe cooling unit, cart and hoses down with warm soapy water (preferably antibacterial). Maintain the outside of these parts just as you would maintain any other equipment used in your environment.
How long does the cooling last?
This depends on the size of users, the number of users connected to the system and the temperature settings. Expect many hours of use before adding ice.
How are the Cool Shirt® and the Resposable Poncho stored?
Hang the shirt or poncho on a large hanger. Coil the insulated hoses and store in the cooling unit or lay flat. Do not hang the hoses as this may damage them.
Yes. The pump is double-insulated and is available as a 12 Volt system or with a UL-approved 110 adaptor. See specifications on adaptor.
Made of 100% durable cotton with over 45 feet of soft resilient tubing, the shirt is machine washable…just put it with the rest of the uniforms.
Our Cool Shirt (Cool Suit) Cool Air Systems are a favorite among those drivers that do not use a Cool Shirt®. Air from the car’s external intake is enhanced via a 135 or 235CFM blower and pushed thru the cooling unit, sending cooled, clean HEPA-4 filtered air to the driver’s helmet. The cooling unit is available in two sizes, depending on your needs: 24qt and a more compact 12qt fit smaller spaces. Helmet not included.
Tripp Lite’s SRCOOL12K is a next-generation air conditioner designed for supplemental area cooling, emergency cooling and off-hour cooling applications. The SRCOOL12K uses environmentally friendly R410a refridgerant, which complies with EPA standards for 2010 and beyond, and is accepted worldwide. It contains zero, ozone depleting R22 refridgerant that has been banned by the EPS for new equipment manufactured after January 1, 2010. Depending on the humidity level in the room, collection tanks could require emptying several times per day.
The SRCOOL12K has a built-in evaporator that expels the condensed water through the exhaust duct, so there is no need for a drain tube, drain pan or water collection tank. Efficient, compact, self-contained and portable, the 120V, 60 Hz SRCOOL12K is ideal for use in data centers, server and wiring closets, IT environments, home and small business offices, conference rooms, warehouses, entertainment centers or other venues with heat-sensitive equipment, particularly in areas that facility air conditioning can’t reach.

The Chili Pad™ is a revolutionary heating and cooling system designed to regulate the surface temperature of your mattress so that you can achieve a perfect night’s sleep. Utilizing advanced semi-conductor technology, the Chili Pad™ allows you to control the temperature of your sleeping surface at the touch of a button. Designed to fit all standard and extra thick mattresses, this unique 200 thread count, poly/cotton mattress pad uses soft, medical grade silicon tubing filled with water to heat or cool the surface of the bed to your desired temperature of between 46 -118 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Chili Pad™ is a versatile system that allows you to cool or heat your bed according to your individual preference. Unlike an electric blanket, which produces a magnetic field during usage, the ChiliPad™ system creates a safe, balanced temperature below, instead of above the body, without the use of electric coils. Instead of raising and lowering your thermostat and/or air conditioner throughout the night, the Chili Pad’s wireless remote can be instantly adjusted from your bed to save you money on your energy costs. Available in both single and dual climate zone models, the ChiliPad™ allows couples to adjust each side of the bed to their individual temperature preference.
The technology utilized by the ChiliPad™ is similar to that of semiconductor technology designed to cool computers. Water constantly flowing in and out of a single connection point in the control system can be cooled or warmed in one degree increments to create a stable surface temperature. The ChiliPad™ fits all standard mattresses, just like an ordinary mattress pad, and the silicon tubes are removable for easy laundering and maintenance. The control unit, operates under 45 decibels, and conveniently fits under the bed. The ChiliPad’s wireless remote is easy to operate and initial set up is simple. The revolutionary, innovative Chili Pad™ is the ideal way to reduce your energy costs while increasing the quality of your sleep.
Functions as a Personal Radiator to Absorb and Dissipate Body Heat Back Into the Air.
Slip a cooling Chillow Plus® insert into your pillowcase to sleep soundly and comfortably all night long. Designed with SoothSoft technology, this versatile cooling device requires no refrigeration and functions as a personal radiator to absorb and dissipate your body heat back into the air while you sleep. This safe, non-toxic product is activated by water to produce a dry and natural cooling effect that can be applied to a number of ailments, from headaches, to sunburns, hot flashes and night sweats . No more flipping your pillow on hot nights. The Chillow Plus® will keep working for hours, so you can sleep soundly without interruption.
This one does say it offers cooling to bring the pillow to room temperature, so if the room temperature is 95 degrees or maybe even higher in the summer time without any air conditioning or fans, then probably that wouldn’t help very much, but I don’t know. These are interesting designs however.
Micro heat exchangers, Micro-scale heat exchangers, or microstructured heat exchangers are heat exchangers in which (at least one) fluid flows in lateral confinements with typical dimensions below 1 mm. The most typical such confinement are microchannels, channels with a hydraulic diameter below 1 mm.
Just like “conventional” or “macro scale” heat exchangers, micro heat exchangers have either one or two fluidic passages. In the case of one passage, heat is transferred to the fluid  from electrically powered heater cartridges, or removed from the fluid by electrically powered elements like Peltier chillers. In the case of two fluidic passages, micro heat exchangers are usually classified by the orientation of the fluid passages to another as “cross flow” or “counter flow” devices. If a chemical reaction is conducted inside a micro heat exchanger, the latter is also called a microreactor.
This page is about the thermoelectric effect as a physical phenomenon. For applications of the thermoelectric effect, see thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric generator, and thermoelectric cooling.
The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. Conversely when a voltage is applied to it, it creates a temperature difference (known as the Peltier effect). At atomic scale (specifically, charge carriers), an applied temperature gradient causes charged carriers in the material, whether they are electrons or electron holes, to diffuse from the hot side to the cold side, similar to a classical gas that expands when heated; hence, the thermally induced current.
Traditionally, the term thermoelectric effect or thermoelectricity encompasses three separately identified effects, the Seebeck effect, the Peltier effect, and the Thomson effect. In many textbooks, thermoelectric effect may also be called the Peltier–Seebeck effect. This separation derives from the independent discoveries of French physicist Jean Charles Athanase Peltier and Estonian-German physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck. Joule heating, the heat that is generated whenever a voltage is applied across a resistive material, is somewhat related, though it is not generally termed a thermoelectric effect (and it is usually regarded as being a loss mechanism due to non-ideality in thermoelectric devices). The Peltier–Seebeck and Thomson effects can in principle be thermodynamically reversible, whereas Joule heating is not.
So, okay – the icepacks are frozen, a fan is stuck in front of them, blows across them and then its all better. How about that? With a boxfan – that would be about $35.00. Hmmmmm………….
Okay – I’ll keep looking a bit.

Well, those are from Sharper Image and range from $299 for the first one, $189 for the middle one and $99 for the third one. Hmmmm…….
Well, keep looking – but I’m thinking of waterfalls and the way it is so cool wherever they are (standing at the bottom of the falls) – no matter what the air temperature in general, those places are so cool. And usually after it rains, the air is cooler – but not always. And hot, wet air is definitely not a good thing, unless it is intentional for a short period of time in a sauna specifically for that purpose.
When it’s hot out, there’s nothing like getting squirted with some water or walking into a place with the AC on full blast. Whenever those sources of cooling aren’t available, you’re pretty much sore out of luck; well, unless you’ve got your Personal Cooling System handy!
It looks a bit strange, and you’ll certainly get a few stares when wearing this thing out in public, but the benefits definitely outweigh the cons: a few hours of coolness.
The cooler goes around your neck, almost like a necklace. The actual cooling is done by a patented miniature evaporation based cooling system. The quiet motor inside drives the tiny fan which, in turn, produces the end product, the coolness.
After pouring a bit of water into the reservoir, the cooler provides you with up to four hours of relief. In case you need more time out of the cooler, a mini 2-oz water bottle is included for filling up on the go.
The motor needs to get power from somewhere, and it’s not solar, so you’ll need one AA battery in the cooler in addition to the water.
There are two styles of the Personal Cooling System, sleek silver and bizarrely blue which is see through!
Living in a climate where the weather is constantly hot and humid can get pretty tiring, and having something like the Personal Cooling System around for hikes or other outdoor activities would be a good idea. The Personal Cooling System, version 3.0 at that, can be yours for only $30.
I would look silly walking to Kroger a mile from here with a drum kit traipsing along so I could have a fan. I don’t know how daughter and granddaughter would feel about it. They’d probably like it just fine. It is very nifty.
