Pete Donegan from Kyneton "Donegan
Transport" marketed our MW1 as Transcool for 8 years.
After stealing our Engineering, he "Knocked-Off" a copy
of the MW1 in 2010. He even took advantage of all the MW1
"good will" by naming his "knock-off" Transcool.

how Donegan claims his "knock-off" is better than the
original (if anyone cares)! The

Australian Testimonials
The MW1 produces 5% more velocity with larger cool air
vents consistently cooler air than the Transcool, as Donegan could
not duplicate our Custom Cooling Medium.
We will include any Option you might want without added extra
Shipping/Handling. SPECIFICATIONS of
the MW1, WIN3 & MW2
The MW1 produces 5% more velocity with larger cool air
vents and more consistently cooler air than the Transcool, as
Donegan could not duplicate our Custom Cooling Medium.
Some of the differences
between the WIN3 & the MW1 are: The much larger Water capacity of the WIN3
eliminates the need for the Float and the Water Kit plus provides
up to 8-12 hours of cooling at night before the need to refill.
The WIN3 is a better choice in a moving vehicle with the
higher Water Capacity plus the WIN3 produces 14% more Cooling
Velocity than the MW1, which is needed in more Humid Areas
along with the Flex Hose Kit.
The Fill Door on the top of the 12-Volt WIN3 is easier
to use when filling with Ice, if you prefer using ice sometimes.
The WIN3 is most popular than the MW1 for Boats,
Campers and Sleepers because of the increased Water Capacity &
Higher Cooling Velocity.
The MW1 is 2 inches (5 centimeters) overall smaller in
dimension than the WinAire plus weighs 2.65 pounds (1.21
kilograms) less. The MW1 has always been a favorite for
many uses and a little easier on the pocketbook than the WIN3.
Specifications of the 12-Volt Models
MW1, WIN3 & MW2
The WIN3 or MW1 are great for Sleepers, Camping,
Boating, etc. however the MW2 is
normally used in moving Vehicles with the Flex
Hose Kit. A 24-Volt MW1
is also available for $47.00 additional & a 24-Volt
MW2 is available for $77.00 more.
The MW2 & WIN3
produce 19% more Cooling Velocity than Donegan's Transfool and
15% more than our MW1. The MW2 is $397.00 including
S/H & the favorite for cooling in Dry or Humid Climates in
moving Vehicles including Farm & Construction equipment using
the Flex Hose Kit (left).

WARNING: We tell you that portable cooling
devices are Spot Coolers NOT Area Coolers, however many times
we receive testimonials stating that our models cool areas, which
may lead you to believe they would do the same for you, which
they may or may not.
Our Models have been trusted in Australia since 1989! This small
sample of Testimonials from our Australian customers will most
certainly back up this claim. The following are but a few of the

2013 JANUARY TEMPERATURES WERE FROM 39 TO 47 Celsius (102 to 117
Fahrenheit):
Just letting you know we have returned from the Murray River.
We had temperatures of 47,45,44,43,42,40,then 39 all consecutive
during the day our Cub camper van had shade cloth tropical roof
set up. That at night our inside temperatures were 10 degrees
less. We used each and every night our MightyKool MW1 with results
that made us very satisfied that we had it, as it allowed us the
most peaceful of nights sleep. In one word wonderful. J. K. Beaumaris,

THE MW1 MIGHTYKOOL RECOMMENDED BY
FRIEND:
We are placing an order for a Swampy MW1, filters & water
container following the recommendation by B. D. of Mawson Lakes,
S.A. who received his MW1 & filters & water container
in August 2012. After experiencing the MW1 and hearing his recommendation
and ease of acquiring the swampy from you, my Wife strongly hinted
her Christmas wish list. Eagerly waiting for the arrival of ours.
E. H. Valley View, S.A. GAVE THE MW1 A BLAST TO COOL A CAMPER:
Mighty Cool (MW1) arrived today (November 2012) Amazing delivery.
I decided to plug it in and test it. Camper temp was 29 degrees
"C" when I plugged it in. After 1 hour on full to give
it a blast to cool it down temp was sitting on 20.5 degrees "C".
WOW! I have seen a few things in my time but this was just unbelievable.
I want to compliment you on firstly the product itself which has
outperformed my best expectations and secondly on your service
and help which was second to none. Regards K. B. Sydney Australia
USING THE MW1 ON SOLAR IN AUSTRALIA IS A DREAM:
I just wanted to let you know that
the unit (MW1) was brilliant - it's an off-grid, arid area dream;
so light on the juice and on water and quieter than the desk fan
I was using previously (not to mention a heck of a lot more effective).
This is going to really make summer a lot more tolerable for me
and Niki the Wonder Dog - we both really suffered last summer
during our many 105F+ (inside temperature) days :). M.B. Hackham,
Australia
LOOKS LIKE IT'S BUILT TO PROVIDE MANY YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE:
My MW1 arrived as promised in a week.
THANKS. What a great little unit. I gave it a good run on the
weekend and was impressed by the wonderful cooling breeze. Looks
like it's built to provide many years of good service. This has
been all good and many thanks again for all your help. Wishing
you and your family a safe and happy Christmas G. M. Salamander

AUSTRALIAN LIKES THE STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT WHAT OR WHAT NOT TO EXPECT:
You are the only web site that told it strait and obviously have
a lot of experience with 12 volt cooling systems. In this money
grabbing world we live in your site and info was actually a pleasure
to read. Thanks for your time and I look forward to receiving
the cooler. K. M. Boulder, WA Australia

NO COPY FOR THIS AUSTRALIAN:
Thanks Jack, did see the Transcool and thought it was probably
a copy. Bought stuff from the states before and none of it has
been crap. Know you Yanks don't put up with shit. The fact that
your in still in business in these hard times means your selling
a good product, can't wait to test mine when it arrives. M. L.

WIFE AS DELIGHTED WITH THE MW1 AND
THE FLEX HOSE KIT
I purchased one of your evaporative air coolers for my Mark Two,
1968 Jaguar. We went through a couple of days in the high 90's.
My wife was delighted; as we placed the unit on the floor, behind
the front seat and took the two (Flex Hose) tubes through between
the seats and placed them under the seat belt across our chest
and pointing up under our chin. It is remarkable how cool you
feel when your face is cool & occasional I would move the
hose over my arms etc. Admittedly, it is not like driving with
a fully air conditioner car but it does a remarkable job at keeping
us cool. It beats the hell out of spending $6000. R. B. Melbourne,
Victoria Australia
VERY PLEASED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MW1 IN AUSTRALIA
Received the unit all ok & have tried it and am very pleased
with the performance. I thank you for all your assistance and
wish you all the best for the future. Barry Yates, Deniliquin,
NSW, Australia.
EXCELLENT QUALITY AND MW1 DOES AS ADVERTISED IN WA AUSTRALIA
Received the cooler today and gave it a quick try. Its excellent
builds quality and moves a surprising amount of air. It was a
hot day here today around 42C (107F) and approx 10% to 15% humidity
and the ambient temp in the shade at the time of testing was 36.3C
(97F). On a medium setting after I had a temp of 22.6C (72F) immediately
in front of the unit and at 15 feet was at 24.5 (76F) an excellent
result. I am sure with the output directed strait on a person
laying in bed or sitting direct in the airflow this unit would
be an absolutely perfect cooling unit. It is a credit to you for
the design an efficiency of this cooler and once my mates here
see this I'm sure you will be getting more orders. Thanks very
much for a pleasant and speedy transaction and for once i got
a product that does as advertised which is very rare these days.
K. M. Boulder, WA Australia
STILL COOLING GREAT DURING THE 3RD SEASON IN AUSTRALIA:
Just thought I'd let you know that today was the first day this
year I've needed to use the MW1 (temp is 105F at the moment) -
this is its 3rd season now and it's still going strong. I forgot
just how good the unit was. I still believe this is one of the
best purchase decisions I've ever made. M. B. Hackham, Australia
USING A MK3 IN DUSTY CONDITIONS IN
AUSTRALIA
Thank you for the unit (Model MK3 MightyKool). have tried it and
works better than expected. have found 3lt frozen plastic milk
bottles to work the most efficient. approx 1lt an hr. I also use
an ice vest for wiper snipping keeping my body temp. cooler all
day long. Will send you a photo of my cab on the Ztrak Mower when
I get time. The unit also acts as a air purifier and I feel less
need to wear a mask in Dusty Conditions. Im sure you will get
a few more sales from Moree after a few people see my setup. C.

TESTING THE MW1 IN 52 DEGREES CELSIUS IN AUSTRALIA:
Here are the impressive details from
our one hour 'test drive' with our MW1 cooling unit: Outside temperature
in sun 52 degrees Celcius/125.6 degrees Fahrenheit (Possibly higher
as the thermometer's limit is only 52! Phew!) Internal van temperature
45 degrees Celcuis/113 degrees Fahrenheit On operating our MW1
we watched in awe as the internal van temperature dropped by 1
degree celcius per minute, leveling off at 41 degrees Celsius/105.8
Fahrenheit. What a heavenly relief! Plus, with that amazing little
unit's mighty powerful airflow, the temperature of course seemed
much, much lower than even that; amply matching the feel &
comfort of the 35 degree C/95 degree F - with seabreeze relief
included - that we'd been experiencing whilst away. We're absolutely
delighted with our little MW1 Jack. It can certainly 'pack some
punch' hey? Again, we just can't thank you enough for availing
such marvelous products to us and indeed the world, for your kind
& wonderful service, and thank you ever so much for filling
& fulfilling such a much needed niche. We're greatly looking
forward with confidence to a future of happy, comfy camping, guaranteed,
no matter how high the temperature soars, because of our MW1!
Cheers & Blessings, M. & J. Perth, Australia
IMPRESSED WITH THE MIGHTYKOOL
MW1 IN A MOTORHOME IN AUSTRALIA:
Thank you for sending the cooler
so promptly. Had a test run inside our Motorhome (RV) and was
very impressed. We are in the CMCA (Campervan and Motorhome Club
of Australia) and when our friends see the "Mighty Kool"
there might be some more orders for you.
Thanks again, H. K. South Australia
If your area is humid most of the time
consider one of the "Ice Water"
Models or check out the Flex Hose Kit.
USED THE MK3 FOR SLEEPING IN THE
DRY DESERT PLUS HUMID TROPICS AREAS IN AUSTRALIA:
I purchased a MK3 as a gift for my
husband who works in the tropics and outback desert areas of Australia.
I was optimistic that the dual cooler/air-conditioner would give
him some relief from the heat. He recently passed through the
Opal Mining Town of Coober Pedy where they build their homes underground
to beat the heat and the temperature there was 54 degrees Celsius
(130 Degrees Fahrenheit). He sleeps in the back canopy area of
a utility while on the road working and he tells me THE MK3 IS
FANTASTIC! On the low setting it cools the sleeping area and he
has no trouble sleeping at all. With ice (in the Tropics) and
on a higher setting he pulled a sleeping bag over himself because
he was too cool! I want to thank you for a great product and tremendous
customer service. My husband has recommended you to other drivers
and they will be in touch with you soon. TOO COOL! K.R. Blackwall
Australia MIGHTYKOOL
BREEZE PROVIDES COOL RELIEF IN AUSTRALIA:
I have just returned from an across Australia road trip. The Mighty
Kool MW1 performed well. Temperatures were around 35-38Celsius
when I stopped for a break in the late afternoons. The considerable
breeze provided a cool relief and even kept the flies and insects
at bay (an unexpected bonus!) Thanks again, R. B. Melbourne, Australia
"WE RAN THE MW1 OFF OF SOLAR FOR COOL AIR AT BURNING MAN:
"Dear Swampy, We just wanted to drop you a line to tell you
how well our Mightykool (MW1) worked for us in our trailer on
the Playa at Black Rock City. We run off of solar so this was
a great way to cool off and be able to nap during the 90 degree
days. Thanks," C. and C. Jackson, WY
FOUND SLEEPING QUITE COMFORTABLE DURING AUSTRALIAN SUMMER:
Thanks for the prompt delivery of the MW1 MightyKool cooling system.
I was bit hesitant at first but after running it for the last
two weeks in 30 + C. degrees, have found it very good. I have
been filling the cooler with cold water from my fridge and found
sleeping quite comfortable.Compared to the cost of other evaporative
coolers these systems are way in front. thanks again, regards,
D. & K. F. Goombungee, Queensland, Australia
You will appreciate
the small versatile size of the MW1, MW2 orWIN3
unless you think something must be large to be worth the money!
Our engineers designed this System to produce more cool air than
any other comparable system that is up to five times larger. Engineers
did not design the Jet Engine to be larger than Piston Engines,
just more powerful.
The light 1.69 kilogram weight
of the MW1 and 2.90 kilograms of the WIN3 make moving
the them from place to place a breeze, plus their small size is
great for storage when not in use. The MW1 & WIN3
Models will also operate efficiently on a Solar System, using
around 11 Watts on low speed, which is normal for sleeping!
Ice does not need to be added to the MW1 because of our
unique "Smart" Pad Custom Cooling System. You may add
Ice in the side of the Automatic Closing Filler door if you wish,
however it only cools slightly better for a very short time, as
there is not much room for ice like is available with the WIN3.
You would never overfill and damage the motors because of our
Automatic Fill Door of the MW1 & MW2. The easy
to see Site Glass of the WIN3 also provides the security
you need to keep from overfilling.
Our Custom Cooling Pads are "Smart" pads, as they automatically
regulate the water needed depending on temperature, humidity and
dew point. Therefore water should never be poured directly onto
the Pad as that reduces cooling. You may use either hot or cold
water, as the results will be the same within minutes because
of the unique Smart Cooling System of the MightyKoolMW1,
MW2 & WIN3. The
MightyKool Model MW1, MW2 or the WIN3 are
the answer if you want the Coolest Air possible using water only
to produce Evaporative Cooling for your RV, Boat, Sleeper or Vehicle
in the dryer climates of the World. The Secret to the Cooling
System of the MW1, MW2 & WIN3 are the single
Smart Cooling Filter Pad!
This unique Smart Cooling Pad should be changed every 2 to 4 hundred
hours, so that you may continue to enjoy the Cool Air experienced
when the MW1, MW2 or WIN3 was new. No other portable
Evaporative Cooler in the World surpasses the cool air of these
three using water only. You may wish to consider looking at the
Options especially a set of two extra
Custom Cooling Filters for $12.00. (We have had some only change
every 3 to 4 years if the use was very little) The
Internal water container of the MW1 holds from one to three
hours of cooling, however it also has an Automatic Filling System
through a float with quality copper fittings. The float may be
connected to an external water source like our optional $12.00
Water Kit if you do not want to add water
every one to three hours.
Using powerful Twin Brushless Double Ball Bearing Motors
the MW1, MW2 & WIN3 merely sip power while streaming
cool crisp air where & when you need it. All MightyKool
Models are equipped with Double Ball Bearing Brushless 20,000
hour motors having the capacity to produce of 200 cubic feet per
minute (CFM) at a velocity of over 2,000 feet per minute. (Our
motors have a 100,000 hour life, however rediculous to report
unless you are selling Transfools). These
Motors have a noise level of 59 dBA on high speed, which is the
same as a human voice. This is less noise than a typical Portable
Air Conditioner, plus the hum you hear is steady not up and down
like an Air Conditioner kicking in the Compressor from time to
time.
You can adjust the level of power you prefer with this rugged
three-speed Switch. High speed velocity is about like medium speed
on a vehicle air conditioner while only using the same 12-volt
energy as one tail light bulb.
Every Model is carefully hand crafted from strong ABS producing
a lightweight rugged structure easy to repair or modify if accidentally
damaged. Hundreds of our models are up to 20 years old and still
going strong!
WINTER USE: We have people use the MW1, MW2 & WIN3
all winter long to help increase humidity in an enclosed environment,
which lowers the heating bills and aids comfort, just like any
humidifier.
Donegan's Transcool Saga:
In 1989 we began researching a more
efficient Evaporative Cooling System, using water only, as we
were determined that there must be a better way. After 15 (Fifteen)
Years of costly Engineering and Development we came up with our
greatest achievement. The most unique Evaporative Cooling System
in the World, which we call the MightyKool Model MW1.
Pete Donegan from Kyneton "Donegan
Transport" was a Dealer for 8 years marketing our MW1
as Transcool. After stealing our design at the USA plant in 2009,
he produced a "Knock-Off" copy of the MW1 in 2010, which could be expected by the Chinese, but
not an Australian! WikipediA on the Web indicates "Counterfeit
consumer goods, commonly called knock-offs, are counterfeit or
imitation products offered for sale."
Donegan helped build his sales for the MW1 (Transcool)
from 2006 to 2010 by using our website, descriptions & testimonials
and most important the reliability and superior cooling of the
MW1. Then Donegan took advantage of all previous Goodwill achieved
with the MW1 by deliberately naming his "Knock-Off"
Copy Transcool!
We received an email from his customer stating a Transcool was
purchased in 2011 because Donegan stated HE was the developer
of the Transcool and all of Donegan Transport Fleet of Trucks
has them. WikipediA on the Web refers to Developing as doing a
"Complete process of bringing a NEW Product to Market".
Many of Donegan's customers are very upset when they find out
that he was not the developer, and just "knocked-off"
our Design/Engineering. Click here to see
how Donegan claims his "knock-off" is better than the
original (if anyone cares)!
In September 2011 (One year after Donegan made his "Knock-Off"
Copy of our MW1) Donegan's Attorney threatened us by saying "We
were doing irreparable damage to Donegan's Reputation and business"!
Over our 23-year history somebody like Donegan
cheaply produces a "Knock-Off" Copy of one of our products,
as these copy merchants have no costly engineering & development
price tags, just a pencil, a short time to copy & search for
parts. Of course this is devastating to us, as there is always
a loss of sales and more loss of sleep at night because of betrayal.
"Irreparable" damage to whom?
Donegan said the Australian Government wanted to encourage local
manufacturing of Australian products, however I wonder if the
Australian Government would sanction the manufacturing of Chinese
type "Knock-Off" Copies of products from the USA like
they do in China?
Donegan claims that "he designed" the Transcool, which
is strange, as the outside & interior dimensions are identical
to the MW1! WikipediA defines "design" as a strategic
approach for someone to achieve a unique expectation. What's unique's
about a "knock-off copy? Our MW1 produces 5% more
velocity through larger cool air vents with more consistently
cooler air with our Custom Cooling Filter than the "knock-off"
Transfool, which is what cooling is all about.
Donegan's
says he is the "developer"
of Transcool plus states his "knock-off" is better than
the original by stating: "The new Australian Transcool
EC2 has been "significantly redesigned" to overcome
the reliability problems that "plague" many of the American
made units."
PLAGUE sounds like major disease to us, so why not check the MW1
Testimonials to see how many hundreds of them mention a Problem.
Our MW1 warranties are basically non-existent and Donegan
knows it.
"Significantly Redesigned" sounds important so lets
see what problems "plague" the MW1 that Donegan claims
to have solved: A. Water Leakage B. Switch Corrosion C. Water
Fill D. Baffling E. Motor Life
A: In the four years that we shipped our MW1 to Donegan
we have NO record of having to replace even ONE
leaky MW1.
B: The MW1 switch, as well as the switch's on all our Models
are designed to allow corrosion, as this is our "fail safe"
warning that unwanted moisture is forming, therefore allowing
the user to correct what they are doing wrong.
C: You will fill through the "fill door" quicker &
safer than taking the cap off & replacing it properly on the
EC2. Using our non-rattle "fill door" also eliminates
overfilling when operating. When the EC2 is overfilled the excess
water drains through the motor opening. Is that a "fail safe"
or a problem waiting to happen?
D: Donegan's baffling copied ours and neither is going to stop
the water from splashing under extreme conditions.
E: 70,000 hour motor life x 24-hours a day = 2,916 days or 8 years.
Does that mean our mention of the MW1 motor life at 20,000 hours
is not adequate when the heater motor in your vehicle has an estimated
life of 2,000 hours? Our motor manufacture claims 100,000 hour
life span & we thought that was too ridiculous to mention,
but not Donegan!
This takes care of the
"Significantly Redesigned" Plagued problems Donegan
claims to have fixed!
Donegan "knocked-off" 99.75% of our MW1 design, as he
is no fool and would not want to sacrifice the outstanding performance
that we struggled for years to obtain. He should have copied it
100%, as the MW1 produces 13% more velocity, which allows us to
use larger cool air vents with cooler air than the EC2.
Donegan was unable to find a company that could perfectly duplicate
our Custom Cooling Smart Pad, which produce cooler air than his.
Our Custom Cooling Smart Pads are half the price of his inferior
Pad, which could possibly need to be changed once to several times
per season to maintain proper cooling. NOTE: We only ship our
Custom Pads to purchasers and previously registered purchasers
of our MightyKool Models. BACK

What are the Dimensions, Amperage Draw and Water Capacity?
One gallon (3.75 liters) of water will last around
two to three hours in the daytime and four to five hours during
the night when used for evaporative cooling in dry desert climates.
The "Ice Water" models typically use from 10 pounds
(4.5 kilograms) to 20 pounds (9.0 kilograms) of ice Per Hour,
depending on the ambient temperature and day or night operation.
A 105 Deep Cycle battery, "not being charged", allow
the MW1, WIN3 & MW2 to operate for 50
to 80 hours and the "Ice Water" models like the MK3,
MK4, MAC & M400 will operate for 25 to 35 hours
before the battery needs charging. The S154 & AC12
Models will operate about 8 hours before the battery would need
charging, as they use more energy.
Evaporative
Cooler Models MW1, MW2 & the WIN3 use Water only, however
ice could be added if you wish.
The AC 12 will not cool
with Water Only just Ice.
The M400, MK3, MK4, MAC,
& MG4 Provide; Dual Air Conditioning using Ice or Water
