Air conditioned shirt
I thought I had seen all of the USB powered gadgets, such as heated coffee cups. This air conditioned shirt is a new take on USB gadgets however. Two 2 centimeter fans located at the back of the shirt suck in air and keep you cools. I would be interested in noise level and whether a battery pack could be developed for a mobile solution, instead of being hooked up to a USB port.
The shirt has been developed by Kouzi Ichigaya an ex Sony technician and is apparently available for purchase in Japan.
