Saw this today in one of those cheesy full-page newspaper ads "disguised" as a headline-worthy news article, with "advertisement" in very fine print in the page margins. Can anyone spot the little thermodynamic conundrum inherent in this "little cooling miracle from the China coast"? From the website

Correct - the thing requires you to provide it with blocks of ice, which it then blows air over using a "high efficiency fan". Amazing technological breakthrough, that. Perhaps it's just a technicality, but I don't see any mention of a requirement for an "auxiliary refrigeration unit" in the advertisement. Nor mention that unless you live next to a glacier or frozen lake, use of said auxiliary refrigeration unit in conjunction with the CoolSurge will actually have a net *warming* effect on the interior of your home, in contrast to a conventional AC unit, which at least has the "low-tech" feature of blowing the hot air *out* of the house.

Not sure how they are going to stuff the 4 glacier ice blocks into the small hole for the reservoir though.Most of the webpage looks like it was written by a marketing department that has never seen the actual product. Last fiddled with by Visu on 2008-07-02 at 07:03 |

Yesterday I heard this exchange:
"He's as cool as a cucumber" "That's been in the fridge". I assumed that the tennis commentator concerned was aware the cucumbers were not immune from acquiring the ambient temperature. |

And often marketing is a poor translation. And the translator is only mechanically familiar with the target language, but not the culture.

LOL, mysterious "technical difficulties" keep them from doing the simple "lightbulb test" [or any similar sanity check] for years on end despite the "fact" that have "robust" demonstrations of their claims. Anyone stupid enough to invest in this deserves to lose all their money. |
