38°C, literally 5 min craft, spent zero money and now i can survive the first heatwave.
Ice change every 2-3hours.
Rate my air conditioner

Why don't you just leave your freezer open so all the cold are comes out and cooles down your house?
lol
I like to increase humidity at night holds more heat and the gradient cause more tairflow.

You frickin dummy, where do you think the heat ends up? The evaporated water (which by the way is making it more humid and more uncomfortable) will condense on the ice packs, transferring the absorbed heat to the ice and melting the ice packs faster while also leaving water everywhere.
Aw, let him think he's being creative. He doesn't realize that he's using enough electricity with the freezer that he could've just got a window AC and been more comfortable.
Cope
Electricity isn't so expensive here, the fan and the ice were both bought like 5 years ago so i consider them free.
It's a joke of an air conditioner but it does its job
Low effort, no money spent
I guess except for 0,03 units of adesive tape and the electricity, wich is not different from the fan alone
>Electricity isn't so expensive here
Then there's no reason not to get a window AC.
The price of the window ac
I just shut the blinds, slightly open the windows and hang my clothes out to dry in the room.
They're extremely ugly.
>They're extremely ugly.
Indeed they are not as attractive as a wet cardboard box and plasticmice packs. They also don't take up space in the middle of the room.
>there's no reason not to get a window AC
kek I went my entire life thinking these were shitty units for small stores with glass fronts until I heard amerimutts actually use them IN THEIR FRICKING HOUSE
>nest
botnet trash I can use a remote just fine
>Electricity isn't so expensive here
The price isn't the problem you dingaling, it's the fact that a refrigerator is a self-contained air conditioner that you're already running, air conditioners don't 'make' cold, it moves heat energy, it's just condensing the heat energy in the insulated box and dumping it out the back of the fridge, back in to the same room, while generating quite a bit of new heat in the compressor, an air conditioner is doing the exact same thing but it's dumping the heat energy OUTSIDE, making the net temperature in the room go down. If you don't want to run an air conditioner, just sit in front of the fan, because on top of making the net temperature in the room go up, you are also greatly increasing the humidity in the air you are blowing directly at yourself and decreasing the effectiveness of your bodies natural evaporative cooling system, mist yourself with cold tap water while you sit in front of the fan and you will actually get too cold in a couple minutes.
>an air conditioner is doing the exact same thing but it's dumping the heat energy OUTSIDE
So he has to open his kitchen window?
If you have a window big enough to stick the entire fridge halfway through, sure.
I thought of this while reading the previous post, I'm disappointed you beat me to the suggestion. Sticking the fridge halfway out the window and opening the doors would be hilarious and actually effective.
It would actually work nicely in a sliding door tbh. I'm curious how effective it would be.
He won't need to, since he can just transport the cold in ice packs.
>window
Door.
>pull fridge halfway out door
>cant get back in
>only one door
Push then.

You just dont care about the humidity? Evaporating all that water causes a lot of fog and to get rid of it you need to vent it out with fans, that also bring in hot air
Why don't i start eating raw rats from the sewers so i can have a 42°C fever and feel cold
It works, dude, it's the most basic air cooler ever, a fan that blows air from ice stuff
my room is now bloody colder
You should try using strips of moist wash cloth hanging from the ceiling of that box, so the air evaporates the water and that cools down the air. It would probably cool the air more than just having it touch ice. Because the water absorbs the heat from the air when it changes phases.
You gave me a good advice but the cardboard box is already soaking wet and there is a lot of humidity in there
I can try with gauze because i'm worried air wouldn't pass through...
As you can see from my diy air cooler, i can only afford a very tiny room...
Unfortunately it faces south-east so in the morning until 3pm it becomes a hoven
>cardboard box is already soaking wet and there is a lot of humidity in there
thats because this shit doesnt remove the moisture from the air. THATS why they dont work. been telling you this shit. now you know this is a stupid idea and you should stop wasting threads for this useless shit
a lot to unpack here so im not gonna do it
It's what he's already doing by taking the cold out of the freezer and bringing it somewhere else, just with extra steps
ACs do the same with hot.
Yeah but that's why ACs are in your window, so the hot air blows away to heat up the environment and the inside of your house becomes cold. If you put the whole AC inside the room then it wouldn't do anything, same as trying to cool a room with a freezer that's entirely inside the room
>so the hot air blows away to heat up the environment
Maybe we wouldn't need hat much ACs if less people had one.
At least put a tent in front of it moronic
Plz b troll
It's called a "joke"
I'm surprised the amount of heat those packs can absorb is enough to appreciably cool the room.
>run freezer and make room hotter to cool ice packs so you can cool the room down
Poor Yuros. This thread made me adjust my whole house cooler while mowing my lawn because FREEDOM!
>nest thermostat
Stupid and gay, almost anything else is better.
t. thermostat connoisseur autist
>75
>"comfort"
give him a break, the power company he's leasing his nest thermostat from doesn't allow him to set it any lower without incurring fees and sending a power wastefulness report to his employer
Put ice pack in front of fan
Heat from the room warms the ice pack(thus cooling the room)
Once ice pack reaches room temperature, put ice pack in freezer
Freezer takes heat from the ice pack and dumps it into the room (thus warming the room)
Put ice pack in front of fan
The circle of life
wait, did you delete the previosi thread and start a new one? did you think you would get different advice? these things will not cool shit cause when they melt you need to refreeze them and put them in the freezer which is still inside the house and making your kitchen warmer. there is 0 gain from this ghetti ass swamp cooler setup. they do not work like you think they do. you gain no ecological advantage
The real question is where your freezer is, as ultimately all the cold you're putting into the system here is being counted by the heat being dumped out the back of it.
Easily fixed by freezing the water during the night when it is cold and thawing them during the day when it is warm
>a freezer with the door open
the compressor will die before it lower the room temperature by even a single degree
0/10 DIAF
Why doesn't OP just go inside the fridge?
really if you're so poor then what are you doing with your life, fricking waste of space
Less expensive than a steak here in Canada.
Ayoye. T'es dans mon coin.
>5050 btu
I have an 8000 BTU unit that barely cools a single room. Is a 5050 BTU unit even worth the cost of running it? Something that weak, I'd imagine running a series of window fans in intake and exhaust forms would be more cost and cooling effective.
here in america it's around 90 degrees out today and i have the windows open to hear the birds chirping and the central AC on full blast to keep the house at a comfortable 73 degrees. i don't even look at my electrical bills.
>89 outside
>75 inside
>no ac, window open
Bless the concrete
it's easy to not look at them when you're not the one paying them you NEET
