Japanese "suzukaze" device cools your butt while you sit

Oh, the things we create and label "green".

For those eco-conscious folks living in hot climates, you can thank Japan for the latest and greatest in buttocks cooling. Introducing Suzukaze air-conditioned seat cushion. Using the sweat generated by your bum and a tiny bit of energy, this cushion has an internal fan that blows over 170 liters of air per minute to keep your nether-region cool. It is light weight, portable, and so efficient that even if used as much as 8 hours a day, you'd still only spend pennies per month on electricity.

Hallelujah.

While not quite as handy as some crazy gadgets we've seen come through here, if you have a significant problem with your rear end overheating or becoming... um... swampy, then this energy-efficient new gadget is for you. But, realistically, I think we can chalk it up to another random item found in the Skymall catalog.

Watch a video on how the seat works.
