[quote="jessicasteven"]I have invented a product for a wheelchair and I went to see a machinist and they basically told me to get lost.I have my prototype and I know what I want but nobody wants to give me the time of day.So when I go to a machinist or fabrcator what should I bring besides the proto...

Yeah, I've done many a year in the woods with 90+ heat, high humidity, and zero wind and then trying to sleep through it after having been up drumming all night. Many of those times even that tiniest little breeze was just awesome, so that's my thought with this whole thing. Is to just make that tin...

Don't worry, I'm not looking to make frost on the inside of the windows or anything like that. Since my last name is Frost I guess I could make a bad joke there, but I'll refrain. ;) No, I'm really looking at the system more as a synergistic effect. I'd like to evaporate my grey water and might as w...

Phil, I think you need to go back and take another look at that article. If I go down to the bottom of that page, that is a passive geothermal system, not an evaporative system. That is very much not what I'm going for. I had assumed that since I said "inner pot" it was implying that there would als...

Well, it's my experience that during events like this most people are up when the sun is down so planning on sleeping then probably isn't the best thing to do. Trying to sleep during the day can... well it can just suck with the heat and everything else. Plus I plan on sleeping in my car instead of ...

Has anyone used these before? What did you think of it? I've been thinking of modding one as a form of cooling and would appreciate some feedback. I'm thinking of a sealed, empty paint can (or something similar) as the inner pot with two tubes in it. The tubes go into the bottom of the can and serve...

Yeah, I'm getting a pretty good idea of the differences. In a nutshell (and it's likely to have some revision sometime) is to camp from my Caliber with a silver tarp for shade. I plan on using mounting points on the frame of the car and PVC to make the tarp shade. The seats all fold down to make the...

I know this thread is a little old, but oh well. Starting with the idea of not letting heat in in the first place is gonna be key and it seems like you have that covered already. I usually follow the "hope for the best, plan for the worst" train of thought. Worst case scenario for you would be high ...

Another newbie here. Coming by to say hello, introduce myself and let you know a little about myself. I've been doing pagan events and primitive camping for a number of years but those kinda went by the wayside. Not the paganism, just the people hosting the event. I can't really describe myself caus...
