A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

About

HICOOLER is the world's first handheld-sized, personal mobile evaporative air conditioner. It is portable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and easily fits into purses, briefcases and suitcases. It is not just for cooling—the technology also has beauty facial steaming and humidifying functionalities for dry winters.

HICOOLER is also the only device with sufficient cooling power to turn your baby stroller into a privately air-conditioned vehicle for your child.

Easy Attachment to Strollers

HICOOLER utilizes a miniature detachable battery, which lasts for 2 hours of continuous operation.

Although it consumes very little electricity, this device can drop >13° F (or >8° C) air temperature during extremely hot summer with ~60% RH. Due to the super high evaporation efficiency, its 100mL build-in water tank can cool for 30 minutes before needing a refill. With HICOOLER as your companion, the hot weather will no longer keep you away from outdoor activities.

For indoor air conditioning, HICOOLER allows the creation of a personal climate to meet your individual requirements.

HICOOLER is not just a personal air conditioner—it can also function like an emergency charger for your mobile device,

or a cool facial steamer to beautify your skin,

as well as a humidifier during dry seasons.

HICOOLER retails price : US$250

Unlike traditional air conditioners, which are extremely dehydrating after long periods of cooling, Hi-Cooler’s water evaporation method provides a hydrated cooling, and therefore, softens the skin and moisturizes the eyes and throat. Thanks to its low power consumption and lack of greenhouse gas emissions, HICOOLER helps save both energy and electricity costs.

Water has been identified by scientists as the source of all life. The water evaporation and condensation processes functions as Earth's natural air conditioner to provide a suitable temperature for all living things on Earth. This water evaporation cooling method is powerful, natural and healthy.

HICOOLER is a reinvention of Earth’s natural evaporative air conditioner to boost the evaporation efficiency, allowing minimal water to provide maximum cooling. Traditional evaporative air conditioning uses passive evaporation process, relying on air to flow through a moist cooling pad. The size of water molecules cannot be controlled. The amount of water molecules cannot be controlled. It must be in low air flow in order to allow sufficient time for the water molecules to evaporate, otherwise the non-evaporated water molecules will follow the high air flow to reach the users.

HICOOLER is the only cooling technology today that enables the mobility of evaporative air conditioners, drastically reduces the size of an air conditioner and stops common water leakage issues.

This new technology atomizes water in a controlled manner for flash evaporation. Water molecules quickly vaporize and are reduced to become nano-sized, joining the air flow to reach the user's skin. At this size, the water molecules can penetrate the skin on a deeper level for absorption, allowing the skin to feel refreshed and energized. This is why HICOOLER users will feel a natural, comfortable cool breeze when using the product; every minute is like doing a cool facial steaming.

The new technology does not rely on a cooling pad for evaporation. This enables the evaporative air conditioner to be easily cleaned and maintain a stable performance over time.

Just using <8W electric power, HICOOLER cooled the target under direct sunshine without generating any hot air and greenhouse gas. This cooling performance is usually to be done by compressor type air conditioner running at few hundred watts electricity with the exhausting hot air at the back side of the air con.

It is our dream to create eco-friendly air conditioning. Our team has spent the past few years working tirelessly to reinvent water evaporation technology and to create a product that realizes this dream. Finally, our product is ready and USA patent approved. We hope to launch this product for the masses and to help consumers reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing the luxury of air conditioning.

In order to reduce the cost of production to a price level we believe will create large value for our customers, HICOOLER needs to have a large initial production run. Your belief in our product and monetary support for HICOOLER will enable us to place this first large quantity order with our manufacturer, so that production costs can be reduced and HICOOLER can be made widely available to the mass market. Your pledge will truly help create history.
