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.

I'm from Ethiopia. This is best technology for us. Thank you very much. We live longer now 🤣

Make sure 911 is on speed dial because this is Extremely Dangerous, especially with kids /animals!! Not worth the RISK!!

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

[@miaporche2256]

So do you just tape it down?

[@digginggopher]

I did and I got raided for growing pot

[@franny5295]

​@@digginggopherThat's a bummer.

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

[@zoe-ml8cx]

Notice she left the lower part towards the cap without holes to catch the water and stop the fan before you drain the water keep kids away from it 😂

[@Dawn-Songs]

Electricity and water can be treacherous . I won't be trying this .

[@wildthings980]

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

[@katrinab7657]

Water on top of an electric appliance? Very dangerous. How about hanging the towel in front of the fan and let it drip into a bucket or something.

[@lkayh]

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.

[@RC-yb5dp]

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 😂😂😂

[@katrinab7657]

Freeze bottles / gallons of water. Rotate, refreeze, reuse.

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.

[@wendybutler1681]

It was a south facing room.

[@brendabailey4319]

​@@wendybutler1681It really doesn't matter if its north south east or west facing The sun comes in every window

[@cristinaotero5439]

​@@brendabailey4319Well, it does matter. You get sunlight from every window, but the ones that get direct sun rays (more heat) for many hours throughout the day are the east and west facing windows/rooms.

Thank you

[@brendabailey4319]

@@cristinaotero5439 Sun coming in any window is going to heat it up Direct sunlight will heat it up even more That's just common sense

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

[@wendybutler1681]

I bought canning jars to use for a lot of my kitchen food storage.

[@Doll676]

I never gotten a container like that with icecream in it I’m going to be looking for it now when I go to the store

[@Sharperthanu1]

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

[@velona509]

Thank you.

[@MariaMartinez-wg2lg]

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

[@katrinab7657]

That's interesting. Someone told me wetting the outside of my house with a hose helps it release heat as well.

[@machoman6969]

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

[@popsugar0993]

Be careful what you put on windows because it can lock in heat and cause damage to them.

[@kathyleighton9091]

@popsugar0993.....not to mention some landlords would not allow this. My lease states curtains only.

[@melvinbk]

thanks

[@benjimcdowell1627]

Inch and a half from bottom. Got it

[@emilycamposs9227]

But icing doesn't seem safe. However I will be trying the emergency blanket trick and the Glycerine on the the shelves. I just figured the whole thing would be common sense, water and electricity don't mix well.

[@katrinab7657]

Im gonna place gallon containers with ice in a shallow bucket in front of and behind my fan and see which works best. I have the world's best dog, but i won't leave him unsupervised with that setup, even though it should be safer.

[@lalopez1221]

​@@katrinab7657Please do follow up and let us know if and what worked best!

[@katrinab7657]

@@lalopez1221 it's a close call. I'd say ice bottle in front is a bit better, but I won't say it's cold air. But apparently, the condensation is acting like a dehumidifier. The more I do the ice in front of the fan thing, the less condensation forms. The air is getting less humid, and therefore more comfortable. The dog is more comfortable as well. I think. We'll see how that plays out tonight. Fingers crossed , prayers up, thermometers down.

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

[@sergeyalexandrovich8443]

Try using emergency circuit breakers in your house if you don't have any, it may be helpful in many scenarios 😁

[@Neptuneman07]

Not with my cat at home. Nope!

[@tesselaynes5428]

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.

[@katrinab7657]

They sell moisture trappers at the dollar tree. It's late - I can't think of the real name. Im going to put one in each room.

[@jasonroper8168]

The only hack.....is the person that actually thinks this works

[@ms.trishs6481]

People please don’t do this!!

[@user-fj5qf7gt6n]

I'd rather put a bowl of ice in front of the fan where it won't leak into the motor. 🤷

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Yep, put a bucket in front of fan with a bag of ice in bucket.

[@user-bj6fi4zv1f]

I agree...my luck my youngest would go to e.r.

[@trishfitzpatrick2066]

Go back to school. This method of cooling goes WAY BACK to ancient times although without electricity, fans were hand pumped. In the mid 1800's a Dr. Gorrie of Apalachicola, FL was handling an outbreak of Yellow Fever and used exactly this system to relieve the torment of patients with elevated temperatures.

[@QuietStorm-hp9oc]

Water and electricity yeah, you'll be dead and you won't feel hot

[@katrinab7657]

I'm shocked you havr to tell adults that water (including condensation) and electricity dont mix. Are they candidates for 'The Darwin Awards' or auditioning for "Strange Ways People Die'?

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

[@SolarinDay]

Yeah, this is a loud of garbage. The only conditions in which this MIGHT cool a room is if you lived in an arid area with very low humidity. And even then, the effect would be minimal at best.
