What's the best way to cool down?

I'm struggling here. It's 31.3degC in my room and I'm sticking to my chair. Ice cubes last milliseconds and it almost feels like nothing is helping!

I feel like I should be able to McGuyver a solution out of random hardware to get somewhere, though I'm not sure where to start...

What can I do? Or more importantly, what do you do?

Ok, first get a very large dog collar, then one of thesehttps://www.newark.com/european-thermodynamics/aph-241-14-11-e/peltier-cooler-module-29-2vdc/dp/40Y2106?gclid=EAIaIQobCh…

attach it to the back of your neck and power it up! It just could work.

Like Sony's Reon Pocket?

I guess so!

But what's the fun of buying something that you could hack together yourself made out of a dog collar?

Actually, I got the idea from when I worked construction in my youth and the old guys showed me how putting a cold rag at the back of your neck helped cool you down.

Stay cool!

The reon pocket was briefly available before it sold out in Japan

Of course it's on ebay for an inflated price, controlled by a phone app which's neat!

That looks exactly like what I was thinking about. And at just over $120 USD, it's not too bad if it works. Of course, I'd be worried about my E Texas humidity and sweat shorting it out!
