The 'Portable Fan II' has been designed by Kevin Von as a wearable cooling solution for office workers to incorporate into their wardrobe in the summer months. The device works by being clipped onto the collar of a dress shirt and will work in pairs to provide effective heat relief throughout the warm weather months. The device works by drawing in warm air, cooling it and dispersing it back into the vicinity of the user to keep them feeling fresher for extended periods.
The conceptual 'Portable Fan II' boasts a 3D-printed design that's paired with a polished finish to keep it suitable for wear with office apparel. The app-connected design would allow for a customized level of cooling and more.
