This device has come to the rescue of hot college dorms around the country and is offering sweet, icy relief from the heatHaving trouble studying in the heat? Is your dorm room unbearably hot with no AC?
These are problems being faced by college students across the country as they return to school. Many dorm rooms don't have AC and during the summer months, this causes the dorms to become unbearably hot.
“I knew I wasn’t the only one, I’d see my friends from other schools posting online about how hot their dorms were getting. All of a sudden a lightbulb went off my head, and I thought, 'why don't I just make an AC for myself.' So I did, I made myself a portable AC.”
“Months later when the prototype was done, it worked so well that my friends were begging me to make one for them. It was then I knew I was on to something big that could actually help students around the country.”
Justin’s portable air conditioner has been a huge success, and has brought sweet relief to many students suffering in their dorms during the summer months. It’s small enough to fit in a backpack, and can plug in anywhere using a USB cable for its power source.

It's also more than 2x as efficient and cost effective as a regular AC, so you save more money while you cool off faster. And, it works so well that after a few minutes you may actually want to go outside to warm up.
"It's being called one of the greatest accomplishments in electrical engineering of the last 30 years."
We decided to give Justin’s portable AC a try for ourselves before recommending it, and once we turned it on in the office, it was so cold that everyone wanted to one. It’s such an amazing accomplishment to create so much cold air from such a small box. But it was developed at MIT, after all.
Since launching his
website, he’s sold more than 50,000 portable AC units. And now that summer is here, he’s expecting to sell out by mid August. So if you want to get yours for either yourself or someone you know in college who has no AC, now’s the time to do it.
