Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
Description of Business	Cool Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary, (the Company or Cool Technologies or CoolTech) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in July 2002. In April 2014, CoolTech formed Ultimate Power Truck, LLC (Ultimate Power Truck or UPT), of which the Company owns 95% and a shareholder of Cool Technologies owns 5%. Cool Technologies was formerly known as Bibb Corporation, as Z3 Enterprises, and as HPEV, Inc. On August 20, 2015, the Company changed its name to Cool Technologies, Inc. CoolTech has developed and intends to commercialize heat dispersion technologies in various product platforms. The Company has also developed and is commercializing a mobile power generation system that enables work trucks retrofitted with the system to generate electric power. In preparation, CoolTech has applied for trademarks for one of its technologies and its acronym. Cool Technologies currently owns one trademark: TEHPC. The Company believes that its proprietary technologies, including the patent portfolio and trade secrets, can help increase the efficiency and positively affect manufacturing cost structure in several large industries beginning with motors/generators and fleet vehicles. The markets for products utilizing the technology include consumer, industrial and military markets, both in the U.S. and worldwide. The Companys technologies are divided into two distinct but complementary categories: a) mobile power generation and b) heat dispersion technology. As of June 30, 2019, CoolTech has seven US patents; one granted Mexican patent; one granted Canadian patent and one allowed Canadian patent; and patents pending in Canada, Brazil, and Mexico) in the areas of composite heat structures, motors, and related structures, heat pipe architecture, applications (commonly referred to as thermal or heat dispersion technology) and a parallel vehicle power platform. Cool Technologies also has Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications filed for a heat pipe cooled brake system, radial vent thermal technology and integrated electrical power generation methods and systems The Company intends to sell a mobile electric power system powered by the Companys proprietary gearing system to commercial vehicle and fleet owners. It intends to commercialize its patents by licensing its thermal technologies and applications to electric motor, pump and vehicle component manufacturers. It may license its mobile electric power system as well.
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of stockholders equity and statement of cash flows as of June 30, 2019, has been derived from unaudited financial statements. They include the accounts of Cool Technologies, Inc. and Ultimate Power Truck, LLC. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this interim information. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interest represents the 5% third-party interest in UPT. There are no restrictions on the transfer of funds or net assets from UPT to Cool Technologies. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the entire year. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Going Concern	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. CoolTech has incurred net losses of $52,060,557 since inception and has not fully commenced operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate revenue, achieve profitable operations and repay obligations when they come due and raising additional capital. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will ever generate revenue or even if it does generate revenue that it will achieve profitable operations. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance	Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. Adopting this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures. FASB ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09 - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligations. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and change in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018. As the Company has not previously generated any revenues, there was no material impact to the Companys financial statements or financial statement disclosures.
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted	Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
