Thank you for the great video. Can you use straw for the installation? May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

Could you please share the resistance or power rating of the heating elements? Thanks

I dont think your idea will work at my country (I live in Turkey),It gets so hot in summer that people shoot at the sun🤣😂

I wonder how much heat with just candles, i might see if it works😊

try using steel wire instead to get it hotter

the physics are not on your side, the idea with sand is getting up to at least 800f in a larger containers center with lower cost than this and you will get 3x the thermal storage per volume, now you have basically less energy than boiling water due to the much lower "specific heat"

simply put a cloth into a dish and blow air thru it....capillary action will keep it wet and air will cause evaporation

How did you determine the focal point?

Why is air conditioner in air ice water compass fan cool!

How to project experience since air condidition diy cool fan idea!

Aspen pads have the absolute BEST!!!! cooling effects. The synthetic is alright but no where near ad good as the aspen. And cardboard i would say it depends on the type you get.

Amazing tutorial! I am thinking of using this when I camp. How long will a bucket like this last per filling of water? Have you thought about doing 2 layers of cool pad to make it thicker?

What do you search on the Home Depot website for the styrofoam liner? I can’t seem to locate it on the app

Very good!!! 🎉

Though most people might not initially think of it that it might not be a lot of lost airflow, intake will mostly take the path of least resistance. I really like your idea to solve that by using foam shrouds to direct all of the air over the fin coils. I might also suggest using a removable micromesh screen to cover the coils and keep any house dust from collecting and clogging up your radiant fins. Also an evaporator tray or pan like a long planter box under the coils to catch any condensation. I'm also thinking that the use of a cooler V.S a bucket would help your run time per changing out water for more ice. Thank you for the great idea and the theory. I'm off to build my own version now. :)

you're putting more water into it then you are producing from the condensation.

My Results: EXACT Same design : Start temp: 79 degrees F. Output 45 degrees. 200 square foot bedroom. 1 hour passed: Room dropped 1 degree to 78 degrees. Output Temp after 1 hour: 55 degrees. 2 frozen gallons of Ice in cooler AND 3 Ice packs. Conclusion: Not good for big rooms! Other: pitch noise of fan sucks and annoying. Much different than box fan! Desertsun, you got some awesome ideas and you are a genius, but what I like to see is some larger scale stuff that will cool and heat larger areas with test results like I have written above! Thank you for your channel I appreciate you!

Super liyd and not efficient. But cool

What power tool did u use to cut the holes in the cooler ?

Why aren't you plugged into the house?

I’ve watched your videos for some years now. One of my absolute favorites. Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos. Love the creativity 👍 Been thinking about building a greenhouse in a valley by our spring to keep cool during high heat for greens.. Perfect timing 🙂 Thanks again 👍.

Do you think this would cool a hot garage in brutal Texas summer heat?

What do you think the ballpark price for this project would run in 2024?

Interesting! I didn't know salt could be used as a battery, cool! This really makes me wonder/think about salt lake city! All that salt, plus the lake right there too 🤔

Do you have any builds using peltier?

How often do you have to dry out the pad?

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Your awesome🎉 as my PGE bill skyrockets yearly u off er me hope. Thx

I can't believe I hadn't thought about using a 12V solar source to run my energy generating machine like you did here. I had thought about using a small 12V battery and worried that the energy pulled from the battery would be more than the energy produced by the machine. But using a 12V solar source the energy requirements would be zero and any energy produced by the machine would be free.

Hello, thank you for sharing. Can you please tell us for how many hours the cold air lasts? It could used in indoor grow tents but i would like to know if a block of ice will last for an entire day, or if you have to change it at the middle of the day. How much was the temp of your room before and after starting the cooler? Thank you

love to see this for heat

You should get and review the new solar air conditioning systems. They don't require a build, only placement. You probably have enough solar already.

The fan you are using is loud and I am sure has terrible static pressure which is what you want to effectively/efficiently push air through the radiator. Right now, you are just brute forcing it with century old fan blade tech at high wattage. I bet you could you use a modern 200mm high static pressure fan getting better cooling capability with much lower noise and using far less energy (below 4 watts). They are cheaper than the fan you are using too. At their price point you could even buy two and try in a push/pull configuration still spending less than you have on your current fan. If push/pull doesn't increase performance enough, you either have a spare or can use it on another build.

Material list length of tubing. What the diameter?

I really appreciate you sharing your innovative ideas . It looks like you could cool your house with multiple fans and air coolers that you have built over the years . Thank you again and much respect.

Great job. I would keep the water from touching the ice block by keeping water in a container within ice chest and keep the lid closed by routing the water lines through a bulk head in the ice chest . I think it will keep the ice block from melting so quickly and make it cool the air longer . I am not a thermal dynamic expert so please correct me if I am wrong . Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Do you have links to the parts?

Do you think you could run this in a vehicle like a VW Bus? Do you think it would provide enough cooling to overcome the radiant effect of the sun heating up the car? Thanks Steve

I think you could improve the design by putting the radiator in front of the fan, like a car. Then the air is "pushing" thru the radiator. Rather than "pulling" the air thru the radiator.

The real energy draw is the ice? How much is the ice, and how long does it last? I liked your last contraption like a swamp heater to cool water and then pipe it to this as a second stage.

A twelve volt fridge freezer that works from a solar panel would be an Ideal companion for your set up. 👍

But......the heat generated by the fridge compressor is greater than the cooling. You are just moving air of different temps around. Solutuon 1. Move the fridge into the garage.

I built a similar DIY cold air contraption to yours. In fact, I got the basic concept idea from your videos but I use 2 coolers. A large 48qt cooler that holds the ice/water that has a small aquarium pump whose hoses lead out and attach to a 2nd smaller 12qt cooler with a heater core (Ford Windstar) and a SEAFLO 4" 12V 270 CFM blower inside of it. Water and airflow can be regulated by 2 dimmer controllers attached to the cooler lids. I added some extra styrofoam to further insulate the coolers. A/C parts to repair my old Mustang were too costly at the time so I built the AC/cooler for it and fits in the backseat. A 4" dryer hose attaches to the air pump and is connected to a T splitter that sits in between both bucket seats. It can also be used with a 12V 300W portable solar backup setup I built.Thank you for this channel and the "Cool" videos and ideas.

Very Cool man. . . !!! No pun intended. I think this is great. What size SOLAR PANEL were you using in this video? Running direct?, no controller? Thank you in advance for your response. OH OH OH . . . BTW, I am going to build your design using the BILGE BLOWER FAN. I will contain the coil inside the cooler for recovering condensate. Keep up the great posts!!

What is the size of the vinyl tubing?

Nice. How many hours does it stay cold in the cooler vs a regular 5 gallon bucket? My pump is slightly bigger as well

Sir please make a video on air disk cooling technology which was accidentally discovered by angel palma from Phillipines for which she got awarded by james Dyson award.she claimed that her device consumes only 10 percent of power when compared to conventional heat pumps aka air conditioner.

just built one of your example wish I could show you. having trouble getting a cooler pad . everyone wants to order me one in but need it tomorrow when its a 100 degrees

Hi Desertsun, you have delivered another great piece of work. But am I right that you made something similar a few years ago, this is of course in a more modern guise. I still have a question, I personally find that hassle with ice difficult, you have to keep adding new ice and remove the melted water. As I wrote to you before, this may be possible to compensate for this with 1 or more PELTIERS, you must of course have a drain to the outside.... Just a question. Greetings from Rotterdam.😉

I wonder if a used mini-split indoor unit, instead of the trans-cooler, will be more effective? Instead of cooler with ice, what about using a used chest box freezer connected to solar panels?
