Water filled fan contraptions.

[AltaLawnCare]

I've seen some people with these things that look like a water bottle with a battery powered fan on top to blow a cool mist of water.

If I could find one of these, then mount it on the mower - instant AC, well almost.

It might also fit into those worthless cup holders soo many mowers have.;)

Sharper Image has something that you're supposed to wear around your neck ( I think they call it a personal cooling system).
I haven't tried one yet, but people I know that have say it works.
You might want to check out their web site http://www.sharperimage.com

I just saw the sharper image one on TV infomercial thing the other night. Thay wanted 4 payments of $19.98 for it. Looked nice untill I saw that. Online its only 49.95 still seems like a lot.

That thing looks alright, but a littlt pricey. Besides, I hate to have to wear anything like that.
The water bottle fan thing looked like a round a twenty dollar unit.

imagine how funny you'll look after a couple of weeks with a nice amber tan on you face and neck, but with a bright white stipe where the cooling device was.
It might work good, but imagine how dumb you'll look
LOL!!! ha ha

Hello,

In our shop at the airport we have a PortaCool set up......Its about a 5' x 5' fan that has a big paper like radiator on the back that water gets pumped through and cools the air.

To be honest, unless you close all the doors and give it lots of time, it doesn't do a whole lot. Unless you stand directly in front of it (like 2 inches away), it does not come close to AC.

So, to be honest, if a 5'x 5' fan doesn't do much, what on earth our those little rinky things gonna do.

Area.

One of those small personal cooling devices, either around your neck, or with a fan blowing a mist of water - every now and then- about a foot away from you would be better than nothing.

Cooling a room (large or small) has to be done by cold air - not evaporation cooling.

apples, and oranges......

:cool:

If you can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen! Be careful on the dangerous heat index days, otherwise, get used to it. It's summer for gods sake!

Why work and be uncomfortable, when you could use one of these things to be safer and more productive.

Thats like saying don't run the AC in your home or car - it's summer, get used to it.

I grew up without AC, it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I got a car with AC.
By the time my parents put in AC in their home, I had already moved out.
--- I'm pretty much used to it.
