A self-contained helical air distribution system for the body of an individual which can distribute air over both the chest and back of the individual, the system including a battery operated blower fan in communication with the plenum and manifold, the manifold having a plurality of tubular distribution conduits, each conduit having a capped end, the conduits extending over the chest and back of the body, the conduits formed with a spiral helix cut allowing the tubular conduits to react to the motion of the human body, the spiral helix cuts reacting to such movement, thereby allowing air to selectively escape from the expansion of these cuts providing a cooling and evaporate effect. With slight adaptation the air distribution system can distribute heated air and also be used to control the ambient temperature about inanimate objects, such as computers, electronic instruments, windshields, and car seats.
