Abstract
Method and apparatus for enabling a person to relax and enjoy the outdoors on a hot humid day, without being continuously exposed to water which is uncomfortable for many people. A thin flexible cooling mat is positioned upon a lounge chair or is placed flat on the ground or worn in the manner of a vest. Ordinary tap water circulates through the mat, and since the water is supplied from a conventional in ground supply main having a substantially lower temperature than the air, the person's body, in direct contact with the mat, will be kept cool. The cooling water may irrigate the backyard at the same time. Since an entire family can relax while being cooled in their back yard, air conditioners will be turned off to save money, conserve electrical power, and thus reduce atmospheric pollution.
