FIVE Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Anyone ever consider taking a portable room air conditioner and making a REAL TD pack that keeps your armor cool? Costco has them for $300 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I could use one of those... It gets really hot over here. Do you think we should write a new CRL to admit those, or just re-shot some scenes with that as it is on our backs, throw in some cgi on the background, re-edit ANH and release it as ANH S-SE??? Also, can I add some leds to it, or is it a no go for deployment? hehehe!! Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 hahaha I was just thinking use it as a base though! Build the "screen accurate" pack on top of it. Maybe one day they'll have them small enough to put inside our helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I may attempt a new build with all the internals of a small AC placed inside reenforced trays (maybe metal) add air vents facing the back and use the (exhaust ports) as intake. Powering and weight are really the only issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powering and weight are really the only issues I can't even imagine if you pull that off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Use the radio as the on off switch and temp control....possibly use the frame as air distribution with small hoses attached to the top portion of the frame that lead into the helmet. .... I'm going to play around with this....maybe make it solar powered lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyone Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 We have a guy in our squad who built a pack that serves as an ice chest. It looks funny and weighs over 50 lbs. Next time I seen him, I'll snap a photo of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 That's a pretty good idea. I'm sure you can rig something that goes through the O-11 of the back plate. The hardest part would be the weight - even if it was evaporative (e.g. ice turning to water) it would be heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
