If you don't mind being chained to your desk, this might help evaporate a modicum of sweat in even the steamiest of situations. That is, if the fan on this contraption were pointed directly at you.

Taking a look at the photos of this beast, it looks like the fan is pointing straight ahead, cooling off people standing in front of you rather than blowing on your own face. Well, at least it might be able to keep your neck cool. Just remember that you're attached to your PC when it's time to stand up. [Thanko, via Everything USB]

This $200 prop doesn't include the rest of that WWII hotshot flier, but making up for that is the fact that it only uses the energy of a 75-watt lightbulb.

These fans aren't exactly brand-new tech, but they're cool in more ways than one, and it's just about getting hot enough to need one. Let's just hope that pilot bailed out before he planted his warbird into your roof. – Charlie White
