He made this invention when he was only 25 years old in the year 1901. The air conditioning system was a metal cube the color of gray, with vents on the front, and a few buttons. The air conditioning system looked like a microwave. That’s how big it was. The air conditioning system came with a remote that was gray. You turned it on and off by using the remote that came with it. The remote also makes it turn off, on, make it higher, or lower. It would works by no plug or installation. This was important because, on the hot summer days, or the humid days, you wanted something to cool your house, office, car, or maybe when you’re shopping you wanted the mall, or grocery store to be cool. Having this invention it lead to several other innovations, such as, having Air conditioning in your whole house, not in just one place. Also not having to use a remote because you may misplace it, and just having like a thermostat, because you can’t loose that.
