Well, China isn't moving beyond the window unit, but they are making them better. A Chinese institute has just released a remarkably simple device that takes the condensation from the cold part of the air conditioner and uses it to mist the hot part of the air conditioner. This simple use of coolant that would otherwise be wasted can increase the efficiency of a window unit by more than 8%. Comments

One can also sleep in the shower, but that can get pretty pruny
That's new?

Hardly a "new" discovery. We had just this set-up in an aircon unit when I was working in Sydney in the late 70's. Made a funny squish-squish sound on the outside as the condensate was splashed up onto the condenser coils!
Only problem is ... When there is condensation it is usually very humid weather, and so the evaporative (and hence cooling) effect of splashing the water on the coils was lost.

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.
For those of us who live in places without central air, but with triple digit temperatures, there are few solutions to sumer-time night-sweats that don't include drippy, inefficient window boxes.
