Abstract: An air cooling device includes a thermally insulated container packed with encapsulated refrigerant and configured to pass incoming air for cooling. A tubular housing accommodates the packed container. A fan blower within the top portion of the housing draws ambient air through the bottom of the container within the refrigerant-packed interior of the container against gravity to prolong the air cooling period. The encapsulated refrigerant is implemented as a plurality of compacted frozen glycol balls serving as primary source of cooling for the incoming air. A multitude of pockets filled with cold air form between the compacted frozen glycol balls during device operation. These cold air pockets serve as secondary source of cooling for the flowing air.

Abstract: An air cooling device includes a bottle-shaped thermal cell with an outer side wall surface having equally spaced recessed fluid flow channels in a generally helical orientation. The cell contains super-absorbent polymer gel in a frozen state. The device also includes a thermally insulated chimney adapted to operatively enclose the frozen cell. The chimney has partially extended floor disposed under the bottom of the frozen cell. The enclosure defines a substantially narrow lateral spacing between the interior wall surface of the chimney and the outer side wall surface of the frozen cell, and a substantially narrow posterior spacing between the bottom of the frozen cell and the partially extended floor of the chimney. An integral fan blower draws ambient air over the outer cell wall surface including within the recessed channels against gravity to promote cooling. The narrow lateral and posterior spacings restrict the airflow therein to prolong air cooling.

Abstract: A candle arrangement having a main candle body having a relatively high melting point and the main candle body has an aperture therethrough and a plurality of burning candles having a candle wax with a lower melting point than the main candle body are slidably mounted in the aperture. The burning candle at the top of the main candle body may be burned and then discarded after it is consumed and replaced with a new burning candle.

Abstract: An air cooling device includes a thermally insulated container being packed with encapsulated refrigerant and adapted to pass incoming air for cooling. The air cooling device has a housing adapted to accommodate the thermally insulated container and force the incoming air to flow inside the refrigerant-packed container against gravity to ensure a prolonged air cooling period. The encapsulated refrigerant is configured as a plurality of compacted frozen glycol balls serving as primary source of cooling for the incoming air. Air pockets are formed between the frozen glycol balls that serve as secondary source of cooling for the incoming air.
