Paul,
That idea certainly doesn't rhyme with fame. I am curious about the IR
camera you are thinking of using. Has that technology come down in price
lately and I remember them being a bit of maintenance headache as well. I
love the idea of a leaky coat with a fan on it. The IR image showing heat
spewing out of the leaks is going to be AWESOME. I am wondering how long a
muffin fan would run on a rechargeable cell phone battery. Better yet if
you designed it right you could just have the jacket tethered to a fixed
blower with a hose.
Thanks,
Mike
