Interbike Demo days we set up the Gen 2 solar tent for another attempt to make airconditioning in the desert powered by solar panels. This time we succeeded in trapping the cold air with our new tent frame design and reflective exterior. Inside temperatures dropped as much as 15 degrees.
The medical team on hand was so impressed they actually brought a person who they had to retieve off the mountain due to heat exhaustion straight into our tent. He was a rtailer from Alsaka who rested on the cot for about 40 minutes while he digested some electrolye replacement drink from E-loads to replace his vital nutients.
Special thanks goes to Medion Corporation who sponsored the Gen two trial test.
