Claim:
1. A directional air jet system for directing air from an air vent, comprising: (a) a body frame having a peripheral wall and a lateral surface extending from the peripheral wall, the peripheral wall and the lateral surface defining a cavity therein that opens to a hole defined by the lateral surface, the peripheral wall terminating in a foot edge that defines an open base opposite from the lateral surface that is in fluid communication with the cavity and that is configured to overlay the air vent; (b) a plurality of pedestals affixed to the body frame and disposed inside the cavity, each of the plurality of pedestals having a pedestal surface that is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from a plane defined by the foot edge; (c) a plurality of magnets each affixed to a different one of the pedestal surfaces and having a thickness corresponding to the predetermined distance, the plurality of magnets configured to removably couple the body frame to the air vent, the plurality of magnets having a distribution and dimensions so as to be configured to couple the body frame to a variety of different air vent sizes; (d) a turret extending outwardly from the hole defined by the lateral surface and configured to rotate about a first axis; (e) a ball nozzle pivotally fit into the turret and defining a bottom opening that is in fluid communication with the cavity through the turret, the ball nozzle configured to rotate about a second axis that is transverse to the first axis so as to be configured to direct air from the air vent as an air jet in a user-selected direction; and (f) a plurality of indentations in an outside surface of the body frame that are configured to provide a gripping surface, wherein the indentations in the outside surface of the body frame form the pedestals inside the cavity.
