Homemade air conditioner that will freeze whole room!

How to make a home air conditioner from a fan? Just a few items are enough to cool the entire room at home.

Easier and less risky way: get a sheet pan and fill it with water. Put it in the freezer. Then set it on a table (with a cookie sheet and towel to catch condensation without damaging the table) and put a fan behind it to blow the cold air around the room. That way you’re not risking water and wiring getting in the same place.

I put alfoil on windows to keep heat out done this for years much cooler environment and keeps room dark for shift workers. Works great

Common Sense tells me that when you put those ice cubes on the back of a van the moisture can get into the motor and cause problems water and electricity don't mix

Home ec teacher did ths with a 10" fan and a bowl of ice. Didn't work in a 25'×50' room.
Using mylar on windows to stop the sun coming in is VERY effective. I made a shade out of a cheap survival blanket. I could hand roll it up if I needed to. Dropped the west facing room by 20° just by blocking the sun.

Make sure 911 is on speed dial because this is Extremely Dangerous, especially with kids /animals!!

A wet towel on top of fan works for me!😊

I NEVER reuse plastic containers. For just this reason. They aren't meant for nuking leftovers, either.

If you do this you will definitely end up in a cooler place: a coffin. . So yeah it works.

The water cooler has been around for a long time, it works well but you have to keep in mind that the humidity is higher with it. Works good out west where the humidity is low.

Go buy a couple of the uv sun shade made for pop up canopy and cover each window, if you can from the outside better but if not still do it from the inside trust me this blocks the uv rays and keep the inside cooler. Once it cools down slightly open all windows have one box fan blowing in air and one box fan preferably in another room window exhausting the room air out so it circulates throughout the rooms. This is the most cost effective way to stay cool.

Water and electricity, now that's an electrocution waiting to happen. Back in the day, people would buy a large block of ice and put a large pan underneath it to catch the metling water with a fan blowing from behind. Much safer 😂😂😂

The fan with the melting ice.... electrocution

The idea of a Aircon is to remove the moisture in the said room.... on this method the moisture is still present, though it does cool the room, as soon as you turn off the fan, the room will warm up drasticly very quickly because of the humid air.

Do you realize how dangerous this is? I use a swamp cooler. It uses ice and it has refrigeration. I just use the ice but I might try the fridge tomorrow. It adds moisture to the air so it should be regulated to prevent mold, I will use a dehumidifier with it.

Tip:You'd get a cooler effect with a bigger fan.Also it would be easier to wire those plastic bottles in place

[badboytrimble]

Be better putting the ice in a bucket of water and put feet in water to soak. Your whole body will cool down and maybe have a cup of iced tea to make you feel even better

The first method should be titled… a fool proof way to burn down your house 😂😂😂

I keep my apartment Cool 🥶 by mopping the floors with ice cold water 💧!
