Researchers Created a Tent Cooling Fabric
Researchers from the University of Connecticut clearly have first-hand experience in trying to sleep in a tent during a stifling hot Summer evening. They’ve developed a fabric enhanced with titanium nanoparticles that can pull water from a reservoir at the base of a tent and spread it across the entire surface, where it evaporates and drops the temperature inside the tent by up to 20 degrees F. Just a gallon of water, even pulled from a nearby stream, powers the cooling effect for up to 24 hours.
