Aprašymas
Hey!
I have decided to create something, that would benefit campers.
I love nature myself, but in reality, camping in nature is a pain in the *you know where*.
To get completely comfortable during those festival nights or simply during a camping night is quite a challenge, when it is quite hot at night.
So have a look at my concept, SolarChill - a solar powered air conditioning system for tents, RC's etc.
