Alternative to a Red Dot AC project...

[karlsmith]

Living in Chicago, I may only need A/C a week out of the summer where it's even to hot with the doors off. The investment isn't worth it for me for the whole Red Dot A/C setup. This may be the alternative I go with: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1253665084/zero-breeze-the-worlds-coolest-portable-air-condit

Don’t know what happened to it but I wouldn’t throw any money their way.

They shipped in November. Looks like they are taking pre-orders for the next batch. They have a facebook page that forwards back to pre-order.

In my opinion, this would not work for you. At the super low BTUs that puts out the heat being generated far exceeds the cooling. You will not cool much at all. You need 15000 BTUs to just start at cooling any real amount. We install dual 30000 BTU units on desert trucks!

Has anyone had any success in mounting a marine battery with an inverter to run a micro AC unit, like they have in some porta johns?
