Necklace Air Conditioners

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Neck Cooling and Massager by Thanko Keeps You Comfortable

— May 7, 2013 — Unique
A little bit strange, but nevertheless an interesting design, the Neck Cooling and Massager by Thanko does exactly what its name says. The device works by blowing cool air onto your neck and surrounding area to help beat the heat on scorching summer days.

The Neck Cooling and Massager by Thanko also -- as the name denotes -- features a built-in massage feature that will also help to relieve tired neck muscles. Although it's questionable if one would actually be willing to wear the Neck Cooling and Massager by Thanko around on a hot day, the design is still noteworthy and possibly something to use when sitting around during a heatwave in an air conditioner-free environment
