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."

    If you've mastered thermodynamics, perhaps you should tackle the English language next. I suggest you start with capital letters.
