One inspiration for the seat cover was a liquid cooling vest as used by some militaries.
Here's one that was demonstrated to keep subjects doing physical work for 100 minutes in a 45°C (113°F) environment without a rise in core body temperature.
Cobb, I'm glad to hear you got your mobility back. Was your setup thermoelectric? I thought about Peltiers, which don't require you to change out the ice every day, but the cost is prohibitive. Also, how would I cool the hot side of the Peltier? A finned heatsink inside the seat? :-P
