Stanford Device Cools Body Inside Out

polished look 2 writes "This is a way cool invention: Those bright, eager scientists at Stanford invented a device that cools the body by drawing the blood to an extremity (such as the hand) and pulling the heat away it - thus the blood becomes cooler which is then re-circulated through the body. The net effect is that the entire body is cooled via this relativly small device."

DUPE! (kinda)

Anyone else notice that this is the same idea as reported in the Anti-Frostidigitation: Heatpipe Gloves slashdot article?

Only difference is this time they're trying to cool people off, while before it was to keep them warm. Seriously, the previous idea was better (simpler concept, cheaper, etc) though it should be used to cool people off rather than keep them warm.

Those Stanford boys should read slashdot more often.
