On a hot day in Florida, you might as well be baking cookies in your car. The sensation of damp skin sticking to hot pleather is not something I miss about the Sunshine State. But now there’s a solution, a partial solution anyhow, that harnesses the very power that causes car-broiling.
This cute little solar powered fan clips onto the top of
your window, blows out the hot car-trapped air, and sucks in ambient air
that is a mere 98 degrees. Apprently it
can reduce the temperature inside the car by as much as 25 degrees.
What I want to see is a device that harnesses the in-car heat and converts water into hydrogen or something while cooling the car off. I guess this is a good first step though. Priced at around $30 at Froogle.

I work a job where i have to sit in a hot car all day long, and I can't run it, so this was something I was highly interested in. HOwever I was disapointed to find that it doesnt work if you have dark tinted windows. When we put it in a window that wasnt tinted it started up but the coolness was not noticable.
