Ben also offered to run a test; I’m not sure whether he still intends to do so.
I’m on vacation right now so I haven’t made any concrete plans, but I’m reasonably interested in making this happen slash I’m interested in figuring out a specification for a bounty that would cause someone else to do science and empiricism on this.
I’ll say now that I’d probably be happy to cover all costs plus pay $1k+ for someone to do a fairly thorough comparison between this model and others with two valves. I haven’t figured out the details for it yet, but if you think you’d be down to do a good job with this and are willing at around this price range, please PM me.
Also, I would love to get someone to do this experiment who doesn’t have the context of the original post, doesn’t know what’s being debated, and just is given the task of reporting the effectiveness of a few AC machines. Probably this is doable but not by a LessWrong reader.
I have a friend who is not in the community that I’m fairly certain would be willing to test this independently for a $2/3k bounty. I will be offline Friday and Saturday, but DM me with details and I can pass them along on Saturday night/Sunday.

I would be willing to pay for this. Will DM you.
