Abstract: A personal, portable, ambient air temperature modification heating or cooling device provides heated or cooled air flow from a modified ambient temperature source disposed inside a container configured to fit in a conventional cup holder. The device pulls in ambient temperature air into an internal chamber of the device where the ambient temperature air is cooled or warmed through heat transfer from thermal energy storage components in the internal chamber, then thermally concentrated prior to entering a motorized air movement mechanism via an air manifold, and the resulting cooled or warmed air is returned out from the internal chamber of the device and directed toward a user. The modified temperature air returned by the device provides a desired cooling or warming effect to the immediate environment nearby the user.

Abstract: A personal ambient air temperature modification, filtration, and purification system that is configured to be handheld. The personal ambient air temperature modification, filtration, and purification system of the present invention provides a container with air inlets to allow an internal motorized air movement mechanism to pull air through an air channel fluidly coupling to the air inlets, through a filter disposed in the air channel, through thermal diffusion blades, across at least one combination fluid vapor source and thermal energy storage component that purifies the air by vapor capture, into a thermal energy concentrator disposed in the interior volume of the container that modifies air temperature, and through the motorized air movement mechanism, where the air is then delivered into an environment as purified, filtered, temperature modified air.

Abstract: An insulating insert that is configured to be removably attached as an insert into a lid for a container. The insulating insert of the present invention also provides an air channel to allow an internal airflow mechanism to pull air through and exhaust out the lid in which the insulating insert resides. An air filter can be provided in conjunction with the insulating insert.

Abstract: A device and corresponding method of operation for a personal, portable, ambient air temperature modification suitable for providing heating or cooling to a user. In particular, the present invention relates to a heating or cooling device that provides heated or cooled air flow from a modified ambient temperature source disposed inside a container configured to fit in a conventional cup holder. The device pulls in ambient temperature air into an internal chamber of the device, the ambient temperature air is cooled or warmed through heat transfer from thermal energy storage components in the internal chamber, thermally concentrated prior to entering a motorized air movement mechanism via an elongate air manifold, and the resulting cooled or warmed air is returned out from the internal chamber of the device and directed toward a user. The modified temperature air returned by the device provides a desired cooling or warming effect to the immediate environment nearby the user.
