    Hi, I am a big fan of TBHS and I don't miss any episode. I want this chair to make some improvements that I think will make this chair more awesome and "beach compatible".

    I would like to add some solar cells to recharge the battery, a "sit down" sensor to detect when someone is in the chair and activate the fans only when the chair is in use to prevent wasting energy from the battery, maybe some water sprinklers could be great to feel a cooler sensation when the temperature raises up. And also add a temperature regulator to control the "can cooler" to the desired temperature. I will add a control panel too.

    When I finish the chair I will give it to my father, he likes to sit down in from of the beach with a cool beer.

     

    Greetings to all image

    I would use the chair on scout campouts at the campfire and keep my water cold. I hate when smoke gets in my eyes and glasses do not even help. The chair would be very useful to me.

    Well since I live in West Virginia it is mostly trees/woods every where so that kinda means camping sights every where(and tons of parades and shows too) so this means I would use it for camping and special acasions plus it would rock out my family reunions(since my family has them in a camp ground every year) and camping chairs are expencive here so I would appreciate it if win. PS: I for some reason have a feeling this will make a great fishing chair and I spend most of my time camping so it would be a great thing for me to have.
