[PSUBS-MAILIST] Peltier Airconditioner

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Marc,
are you driving a fiat bambina?
I saw 4hp quoted in a few places but this is from a Wiki article on air conditioners.

In an automobile, the A/C system will use around 4 horsepower (3 kW) of the engine's power, thus increasing fuel consumption of the vehicle.[53]
