If you could get the functionality right, I think it would be a great product. Nice design!

You know, as a cooling system this idea is a flop. BUT, as a heater, this could work. Just pull the air through the sun-heated blades and blow it out the top. Convection will go a long way to providing the air movement, but a small solar powered fan would be a great addition. So long as it is cost effective, even a few additional BTU’s of heat will help.

nevermind, noticed that it does recirculate interior air.

even so, the whole power density issue with respect to solar cells would be a challenge.

Neat idea, but it has a few basic thermodynamic issues that would be difficult to resolve; heat rejection would be the biggest problem.

Also, if cooling air drawn from outside (rather than recirculating precooled air), the efficiency of such a device would be absurdly low, far below the threshold for powering it with the few solar cells. It would probably be a power hog, consuming perhaps orders of magnitude more electrical power than conventional a window mounted AC unit, if it works at all.

I think its very useful to all who want to feel better and relaxing to the house.

WHY DO FOLKS PRESENT ABSURD IMPOSSIBLE PHYSICS DEFYING IDEAS AS IF THEY ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER? HEY I GOT AN IDEA MAKE IT BEAM ELECTRICITY TO THE WALK IN FREEZER AND CHARGE THE PLUG IN ELECTRIC CAR AND A BATTERY FOR THE FREEZER AT NIGHT….IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF WINDOWS YOU MIGHT BE YOUR OWN UTILITY….OH OH OH MAKE EM FOR 3.98 AVAILABLE FROM WALMART

If the technology does not incoporate a direct cooling technology then it appears to be a glorified window fan–Apparently, you would have to take already cooled air from another source and use this to act as ventilation system/fan to remove the heat produced from direct sunlight away from the hot window. I live in a hot and humid climate. So we require to cool and remove moisture from the air. I do like the concept and I like seeing ideas that incoporate green technology. Without ideas and new applications, we do not progress. The application could be expanded to include a supplemental battery bank grid and solar panel system added to the roof-top. When you have really sunny days and a lot of money the system could also be expanded to include peltier cooling. Like previously described the system would have to remove heat on one-side and cool on the other. Peltier technology is a power hog..but during the day with a lot of sun the peltier could be employed to cool during peak heat and sunlight. Areas like where I live we cool most of the year. Even during the winter months we cool to remove moisture from the air.
