John Denver Hoxha posted:That is actually sort of cool though since it's not like a window AC unit. It is like all the comfort technology luxury items I could think of for something like a casual camping trip with some friends or to party out in the boonies put into a single package to offset the size of the AC unit (obviously it isn't for serious hikes or anything like that) Problem is the base unit doesn't even come with a battery, and the $180 battery has 800 charge cycles.

Also, how efficient can it be? One thing is how cold the air is when it comes out, another how much it can cool down a room. Any science goons care to analyze this and explain if it's all bullshit?

Without a way of venting air to the outside it's going to heat the room up. e: It *does* come with an exhaust hose. It's still insanely impractical, just on energy density alone. Air conditioners are insanely power-hungry. goddamnedtwisto has a new favorite as of 22:12 on Aug 20, 2016 |

goddamnedtwisto posted:Without a way of venting air to the outside it's going to heat the room up. About half the photos they show are it outside or like in a tent, often with some sort of plug snaking out the back. Plus it seems like it's more about blowing cold air directly at you rather than trying to maintain a certain air temperature.

Kharmakazy posted:OR just buy a floor model AC from the store and a portable generator. That's what it is. The first couple tiers don't even include the battery pack. Right now you could go out and buy an icy breeze (leading competitor #1) and an anker powerbank for roughly the same price. e: and many camp sites ban generators because they are loud.

I compared the Zero Breeze (the kickstarter) to the icy breeze, but the icy breeze uses ice for cooling and just needs electricity for the fan which seems more sensible in my opinion. You probably need to buy ice anyway, and 30 pounds of ice provides the same cooling as a full charge of the zero breeze's massive battery pack. e: I wonder if you could combine something like the icy breeze with a swamp cooler so you get cooling from two phase changes- brb, posting a kickstarter.

quote:Right now we have our own application that mimics the function that the ball would have in the game if it were integrated. Pokemon Go is built on the Unity3D game engine. We are building a Unity3D plugin that can easily port in this functionality. We will work with their team to bring this to their game. But at this moment, it isn’t integrated, and having a background application wouldn’t allow us to tie in the functionality to Pokemon Go. I don't speak nerd, does this mean it doesn't even actually work? Edit: Yeah, it doesn't work quote:In the event that NianticLabs turns down our partnership and we do not get a licensing agreement, all of our backers would have an option after viewing our newest games that we are currently developing. Kickstarter does not issue refunds after a project is funded. But if our project is funded and we are unable to go to market with Niantic, we can issue a refund manually.
