How to make a home air conditioner from a fan? Just a few items are enough to cool the entire room at home.

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.

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

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 😂😂😂

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

You Turkeys are Bad at this - First, The homemade Fan AC thing has been around alot longer than you think ... I was doing this back in the 1990s using two empty Ocean Spray bottles ( just don't put any vent holes at least 3 inches before the bottle cap) Secondly, you can use Bubble Wrap to insulate your windows (Do NOT pop the bubbles). It works much better while still allowing Ambient Light and some visibility. THINK when you Think.
