More importantly, it’s an air conditioner that should cost its users less than a cent a day. The catch: it’s aimed at cooling small areas. It’s perfect for a workspace, however, which is all you should really be caring about in this situation anyway. Geizeer, whose tagline is “eco friendly ice cooling,” is fully funded with eight days left to go: 1,372 backers contributed $200,292 towards a paltry yet specific $34,191 goal. The unit is a wood-plated metal frame containing a rechargeable battery, a brushless fan, a micro USB with PCBs, and an ice pack. The easy to use product is not only small enough to fit in your hand but it is light enough so that carrying it around with you is far from a chore.
The creators’ ideals are on full display in the advertising copy, which disses the typical air conditioner: The necessity for this product is more than obvious. With temperatures rising all around the world, affordable air conditioners will go a long way in keeping you cold when the heat is on financially. Keep an eye out for the unit once it hits the market, as the hot weather’s just going to get worse in future years. H/T Thrillist
