If you removed all 100W of body heat you'd likely be dead after a while! A wearable cooling device doesn't have to remove all the heat your body generates, it just needs to remove enough to make you feel cooler, in addition to the heat your body already sheds naturally.
- Robotbeat 6y agoDepends on how hot it is outside. If it's hot enough that your body can't reject enough heat naturally, then you'll die WITHOUT such a device. Also, if it's hot enough outside, your body can actually absorb heat from the environment. Also, your metabolic rate is only 100 Watts if you're resting. Any kind of exertion would be higher. If it's hot outside, your body sheds heat by sweat. Non-ideal if you like not being sweaty.
