In the coldest days of winter, I'm thoroughly bundled up in the car. Coat, boots, mittens...everything is insulated except my face. To prevent my nose from freezing, I direct the heater onto my exposed skin. This should be a simple task, but for some reason automobile air vents are surprisingly difficult
to aim. The directional vanes are made to look pretty, at the expense of functionality.
I propose a very simple modification. Alter the air vents to include targeting sights which, when lined up, will blow air directly at the user's face. "Iron sights" can be moulded directly into the plastic, or fancier cars can use fibre optic sights.

laser? But then confusion on self-heating alignment success or
imminent assassination attempt... |

//automobile air vents are surprisingly difficult to aim.// I don't seem to have this problem. |

Neither do I, but then I don't drive Aq_Bi's car. I'm assuming his car's vents are hard to aim for some unknown reason. |
|
| |
I don't get this. Do some cars not have underfloor
heating? |
|
| |
Somehow I'd be uncomfortable with the idea of something
being aimed at me while I'm driving, but it's a decent idea
for less paranoid motorists. |

Tritium night sights would be a simpler alternative to
fiberoptics. |
|
| |
A budget alternative could be made from some flexi tube and good strong tape - with the air fed right to your nose. |

Or a hockey mask with a hand warmer taped to the inside? |
