The "Cool Brick" Can Cool Off an Entire Room Using Nothing But Water

ErnieKey writes Emerging Objects, a company which experiments with 3D printing technology, has created what they call the "Cool Brick." Using basic concepts of evaporation, it holds water like a sponge, takes in hot dry air and converts it into cool moist air. 3D-printed with a specially engineered lattice using ceramics, it can be formed into entire walls which could be placed in different rooms of a house or building, thus replacing the need for air conditioning in hot, dry climates such as deserts.

You seem to have a sore throat. You should consider buying a 'health brick'. 3d printed with a specially engineered ceramic lattice, 'health brick' uses basic concepts of medicine, it holds water like a sponge, takes in contaminated air and converts it into healthy air.

Re:Wow. Maybe they should call it a swamp cooler.

But you just don't understand. This thing was fucking 3D PRINTED. Everything that is 3D printed is so cool it is downright cold. It'll just cool the room by sitting there not doing anything at all!

For sufficiently small values of abundant.

swamp cooler cools, 3D printing cooler cooler

A swamp cooler is cool because it cools the air, making it cooler. 3D printed stuff is cool, so a cool 3D printed cooler is a cooler cooler, making the room cooler.

Which reminds me of an odd thing about bison in Buffalo, New York. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. That is to say, New York bison whom New York bison bully themselves bully New York bison.

Agreed; this is definitely vaporware.
