Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25

Posted by timothy on from the ice-is-free-after-all dept.

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."

    Hey kids! Let's all go down to South California for the day! Michael Jackson is throwing a pool party and we can all skinny dip in his pool! And if we're lucky, he might share some jesus juice and duck-butter with us at the end of the day!
