I think this might be bullshit. [Edit: maybe not. See thread below.] The article is from 2005, and I can't find anything that is less than 3 years old that describe the device working.
I was working as an engineer near Stanford when this cooling glove was announced, and I remember hearing about the "$400,000 version by a name-brand design firm that really never worked." It's possible that the professors just gave up or moved on to something new after discovering that productization was hard. It might also be that the rate at which you can cool a human body through the small surface area of the hands without damaging the skin is too small to be useful.
Anyone find any good evidence that this could work?
- lachyg 15y agoThere is a study as recent as last year http://www.avacore.com/sites/default/files/document/Kwon-Schneider-palm-cooling-Bench-press-study-MSSE-2010.pdf http://www.avacore.com/sites/default/files/document/Kwon-Sch.... There are also a lot of sports teams using it, and it is visible often on TV.
- pingswept 15y agoThat does appear to be a scientific paper from 2010 with real statistics in it-- maybe it does work.
