Thanks for the recommendation. It does look like a well made tool, and might work a lot better with typical non-arctic snow.

I haven't seen anyone claim that it was hard to manufacture. Sadly, the answer seems to be that Robertson screwed up the initial licensing so badly that the technically worse Phillips took over the market. Here's an account: ht

You've got a good point, which is that moving air greatly improves heat transfer, but your errors in terminology are confusing people. The fan that blows cold air is the "evaporator fan". The compressor fan (if there is one

The paper gives us reason to believe the maximum rate is probably something less than 1 in 1000: "Anthropometric, clinical and vital status and 10-s OLS data were assessed in 1702 individuals (68% men) aged 51–75 years between 2008 and

I think your reasoning is correct for CO2, but the OP asked about "emissions" in general. For some of these, the dispersion is less, and thus the high altitude does make a difference. I've only skimmed it, but this seems to
