For practical examples to examine scalability of prices, consider cooling vests, a vest you wear that circulates cooler water to keep you comfy. Weekend warrior products run around $200. I am toying with the idea of buying this or making my own to take hikes in hot weather. Strictly hobby/fun use. "CoolShirt(tm)" products for operating room surgeons to wear under lead vests or whatever are probably more reliable, easier to autoclave, likely more durable, but cost $1500. I don't know why surgeon's need lead vests. Alien autopsies I guess. I can't find the price for cooling machines for surgical patients but I imagine the liability insurance would triple the cost of the surgeon's clothing, maybe $4500 for a medical product? OF course most of the time patients would have an ice towel thrown on them not a wearable vest, but whatever.
