There is provided a climate control system for a parked vehicle that includes a solar panel, thermostatic switch, fans, and thermoelectric coolers. The solar panal can serve as a sole source of electricity for the system. The system affords convenient installation and removal by including solar panels that are removably attached to the exterior of the vehicle. A connecting wire electrically connects the solar panels to a housing that is removably mounted to a partially opened window on the vehicle. The thermostatic switch, fans, and thermoelectric coolers are included within the housing. The thermostatic switch alternates the direction of the current flow through the thermoelectric coolers to selectively heat or cool the interior of the vehicle. The interior surface of the thermoelectric coolers are in contact with interior heat sinks that have air circulated across them by an interior fan. Similarly, the exterior surface of the thermoelectric coolers are in contact with exterior heat sinks that have air circulated across them by an exterior fan.
Atmospheric gases could be used for energy storage as well as buoyancy control
Inexpensive, low-power piezoelectric buzzers would be built in.
Potential applications include inspection, maintenance, and surgery
