Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25

inkey string writes "Summer has arrived, and I've been busy slowly overheating in my student house without central air. I decided to put my thermodynamics classes to work however, and produced this ~24$ homebrew air conditioner. It'll cool a room to a comfortable level in 15-20 mins, and will run for a few hours on a garbage pail full of water. It's cheap, environmentally friendly (just fire the waste water off to your garden), and makes a good one hour project for a quiet evening."

    Summer hasn't arrived brah - it is here. And if you are planning on getting by with some cool trash-water, then you are woefully unprepared.

    Just a hint here: but a woman is not gonna want to come over and see your sweaty fat-ass playing D&D or whatever you play.

    So my advice: go down to the local utility, pay the freakin' $80 bucks and have the A/C turned on. You'd be amazed at how lower-humidity can clear acne.

    Peace Out.
