We delivered 20,015 Cooling Credits in August, representing almost 2 months of sales... in less than a week. Cooling Earth is always priority 1, and we will spend some time this month exploring what else we can make that people want.

This month, we flew a *big* drone... for a glorious 5 seconds. We learned a lot and shared about the experience here. Other postings on socials didn't seem to make a difference. We'll keep at it, but no major time investment unless some link to results. Marketing: some ads result in sales but not yet breakeven. We'll get there by end of year or stop all paid ads (again).

For better and worse, localized cooling is going to be a thing. We want to see this happen with more rigor, both for our experiments as well as others. So, we're making an open-source field logger for climate. Feature set so far:
-temperature, humidity, and light spectra sensors
-captures at least 1 week of data at 5-minute intervals without intervention
-wifi connected to stream collected data
-solar powered to extend runtime

If this might be useful to you or a friend, please let us know. 

This month, we will:
-Build initial climate sensor prototype and order pre-assembled boards
-Retry "cost per order" marketing (Adwords, CPA)
-Apply for at least 3 other SBIR-style grants with a new partner

Cooling and Expanding,
