Hi,
Here is a new design challenge for those of you with homebuilts with all

the
bells and whistles.

The 2004 Toyota Prius hybrid car has a Denso electrically powered air
conditioning compressor that apparently does not need to be mounted on the
engine. This offers the possibility of reasonably putting A/C in a

homebuilt
airplane. What comes to mind is one of these systems mounted in the aft
fuselage (one way to overcome a nose heavy design) with a duct (with a
retractable scoop) for air for the condensor.

For some details go to:

Fly safe, have fun, be cool,
