Vortex tube?
I dont know if this is another tornado idea or what but it looked interesting. It seems feasale with a turbo and all but i dont know the dimensions yet. Is this even worth looking into? I ordered a catalog, free i must say. Any body heard of these? I need some input, or someone to say screw it.

Those work, but I don't see any automotive use. They use a lot of compressed air (10 bar) to creatre a small amount of cold air.

Years ago my dad played with using that and similar ideas for automotive air contitioning systems but it never really went anywhere... you end up putting a lot into the system for not a lot out. Industrially they use the setup to cool electronics pannels and other places where you need cold air in a specific location....
