Interesting ideas

So I was trolling the web when I came across an interesting video.

I think if this is real, it could have some practical uses in climbing and bouldering in particular.
I wonder if it's battery operated?



If you have the time watch the video (it's two parts).

Tonight I'm doing the no rain dance. Weather looks a little suspect for tomorrow.
If however it doesn't rain I'll be heading up to Squamish for some cool temps!

Maybe I'll see you up there.

Added bonus for climbers: 10 deg skin!

I watched the video and I think the idea is interesting. Apparently it has been around for awhile as some athletes were using it in the Athens games but I haven't heard anything about it so I wonder if it just never took off.

Apparently it cost four thousand bucks. Could be a reason it never caught on.

Matt/Meshkat-

Hey this is Tom Bell, just wanted to thank you guys for the hospitality you showed me last month when I came down from Whistler for the day. Climbing with you guys was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.
Hope you are doing well, and maybe I will catch you up in BC again sometime.

ps- I am interested to the link from this post, but not seeing it for some reason in firefox or safari.
If you dont mind shooting it to me in an email, I would appreciate it.

Can't we just get a bucket of water, some ice and a thermometer? It doesn't seem like rocket science.

We were talking about taking an old dustbuster a water bottle filled with ice and using the suction to create the same effect...
