bwahahahahaa. i LOL'ed

srsly. i might have to do that if my AC goes out here.

 

Lol, I just got back from my friends to do a radiator swap and saw all these replies. I am glad people are impressed, and by all means copy the idea. I actually am building a window unit for the house that looks just like a normal a/c window unit.

 

Hahahahaha, I gotta say thats pretty rad!

 

Haha nice! My dad actually showed this UPS guy who came to my house (because he was sweating like no other) how to make one of those. Just by doing the same thing you did... it's a great concept!

 

Can't bead redneck ingenuity.
I love it.

I wonder how much longer dry ice would last compaired to the bottles.

 

I actually started experiment with that. Rather than regular ice, the new dry ice concept would be a bit more expensive to make. I am basically using the same fan/cooler/outlet, except the fan pushes the air through a set of tubes running along side coils that are connected to a main box where a chunk of dry ice is tossed in. The box is sealed at the tubes, and the top bolts down over a little rubber gasket so the CO2 doesnt escape and remains pressurized/cold.

 

Make sure you take pics. I will watch this one.

 

im seriously just going to try this and see how it goes lol

 

You know, I have seen these for older cars, they made them for 60's model cars, I know my dad has one that came with his 68 RS Camaro.

 

You built a heat exchanger.

 

Stefano, would it really be a heat exchanger, as there is no transfer. He's just coolong the air. Now the one with the coil on the fan would be an example of a heat exchanger.

 

i bet if you made that box out of aluminum so it looks fancy you could get people to buy it for 250-300 bucks labeled as portable ac

 

try putting dry ice in there thats what i use to freeze meets at my hunting cabin

 

when i saw the title i was totally thinking it was gonna be this

 

What the ???? HAHAHAHAHhaahaha
