Cooling suit |10:54 PM| I have come up with a very possible idea for the LED lit, art project I wish to build for the upcoming camping trip. This idea would also take care of the cooling issue I will likely run into while in the wilderness. It would be a personal cooling system, much like the NASA system used by astronauts as one of the layers of the space suit. In fact, I think a similar system is now in use by athletes. Essentially you have tubes running around the torso and the limbs, which allow for the circulation of cooled water.
Follow the arteries and such a thing could be very effective at temperature regulation. As long as I'm going to the trouble of lining my body with silly tubes and a power source, I could rig up an LED based lighting system, turning the whole thing into an art project.
The main challenge at this point is a pump. I have aquarium pumps, one is air and the other is for a filter circulation system. Adapting them to run on such a system should not be difficult.
