Ghetto Air Conditioner

[Big Calhoun]

SO...you live in the slums? Need some A/C? Can't afford it?

Someone on another forum tried it and said it worked like a dream. It looks like crap, but a hell of alot cheaper than spending $300, $400 on an A/C unit.

hjaaammauahha

that is so friggin ghetto looking
i love it

[Its a Plant]

Man, that's ghetto. I wouldn't want all those copper wires 'n shit wrapped around my fan. How would I escape the heat without my fan?

[Big Calhoun]

I'm not a physics major but it seems like the principle is that the water would flow behind the fan and as it's being warmed, it'll cool the air around it. You leave the tubing in the back in order to take that cooled air and cycle it around your room. The concept works...but yeah, try explaining that to a date..."What the HELL is that?!?!?"

[Cooler Then Jesus]

nah, we made an AC with 1 four bladed airplane proppellor that is about 2 feet big, for a single person open cockpit, whatever, a GE electric motor, a little bigger than 1 foot, plugged into a 220v outlet, and 1 55 gallon drum heat sinks in a beach cooler with copper pipe the size of my leg running through it with our air that comes in through the family room "hole in the wall"

i love my house

[widowtoker311]

couldn't you just get a submersible pump and force the water through the copper and then back into the trashcan?

then put a little pump in the water and have it mist the fan........... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Scary cause it is sumthing I would of done 30 or so years ago...

I rigged a dryer vent hose to a big cooler that held almost 3 bags of ice... I put one end out the vent window I cut two holes in the top of the cooler and inserted the other end of the vent hose in one... AC... I was an apprentice plumber at the time and we had 2 Country Clubs as customers so ice was easy...
