I have a " Kool Shirt" device in my car. For those unfamiliar, it's  
basically a T-shirt w/ built-in plastic tubing leading to an ice water container  (in 
my case, the intercooler ice-a-box) with a little pump and switch to keep  
your cool while you wear your snow suit in August in the desert.
For Father's Day, my son got me one of those cooler/heater box deals for  
long trips, as in Maxton, The Salt, etc.
I did a little research and found the principle that makes this work is the  
Peltier effect, another one of those things that work in spite of logic, kinda 
 like airplane wing lift, bumblebees, etc. 
My question is the possibility of the LSR application of this principle,  
primarily in the Kool shirt mode for you guys without ice a boxes. I'm attaching  
an outfit that custom makes them for rally cars, basically the same reason 
we'd  use them. They sound initially expensive buy I'd bet there are some 
computer  savvy Hot Rodders out there that could Goldberg one of these up, no?
