Hi Tom,
It does seem to be a bit of a drawback the amount of air required, and in my workshop with my noisy compressor running all the time would be a 'disaster'
I think about these "vortex cooler things" every now and then.
I had one go at making one a few years ago - it didn't work - the cold air was hotter than the hot air
I quite like the idea - nice and clean with a view to using it on my Sherline cnc mill. Especially using small diameter end mills (1mm dia) with plastics and aluminium.
So I have decided to have another 'look'
