The only real refuge from humidity and heat in the summer might be air conditioning. Electric fans will only envelope your body with the same hot and muggy air you’re trying to escape from, while fanning yourself is nothing more than a cardio workout. If Willis Carrier — the inventor of the modern air conditioner — was still alive, we would gladly offer him the very last pint of cold beer on earth to show our appreciation. For those living in apartments or homes without central air conditioning, escaping from the heat with a fan might not be enough to endure the approaching hot summer, while investing in and attempting to install a window air conditioner yourself may be more daunting than practical.
However, the Noria Compact Window Air Conditioner may be that saving grace you’ve been waiting for before summer arrives. Currently on Kickstarter, the promised product may be enough to truly revolutionize window air conditioners. Unlike the complicated installation procedures of traditional window air conditioners, all your have to do with the Noria is simply open your window, install the bracket, and insert the Noria, all by yourself. With the iOS or Android app you can even control the temperature or set a schedule, while the compact dimensions of the Noria means that you can easy install and remove the unit yourself and even store it under your bed when not in use.
