Glad I could help

im in phoenix and aps is killing my with this heat wave...i have been doing the same sitting outside with wet rags, i never thought about this....DUH...lol this is awesome!

@@davidpersico5028 I'm still in Phx. Yes, APS is a bummer with much higher $$ than SRP (I've never understood how having to move ones physical house to switch utility co's is "deregulation"?). 8Yrs ago I planted 3 desert trees on my west side that are now 30' tall and reduce my electric bill by 55%. The difference inside my house is extraordinary. If you have room outside, box stores also sell an S-shaped spray emitter that stands while spraying one nozzle of fine mist. While we desperately need to preserve water in AZ, it uses 1 gal/hr, so some cooling outside this way can be life-changing. Remember to replenish yourself with electrolytes but not sugary drinks or caffeine that will make one thirstier and hotter. Commercial electrolyte drinks can have dyes and too much sugar, so check out DIY.

You can drive

Sharp Works How’s it working and how big is your shop? Thanks.

desertsun02 hello sir I am your follower/subscriber . I just want to know all materials u used for this divice . I'm Hoping for your respond , thank you

desertsun02 Why did you use a screen? Is it necessary? Also, how did you affix the blue pad to the box fan? Is the pad upwind or downwind of the fan?

yep they look really cool on classic cars.

So it was extra-effective for the front seat passenger during left turns! :)

Where re do you buy the pad.

The Erod1944 Channel lmao

I've only seen one picture of those.

I'm wondering where in the deep south, certainly not on the coast. I'm originally from Charleston, SC and I can say that when July hits and it stays 90 plus day and night with 100 percent humidity every day that this will not do anything. My uncle tried to make one of these after hurricane Hugo with a fan and a wet filter plugged into a generator and it did nothing and this was in late September with only high 80's temps and 90 percent humidity. He had learned how to make one when he was in the army, and it was basically the same principle but you had to hand wet the filter every so often. These will not work in tropical to semi-tropical conditions. Its works on the principle of cooling the dry hot air with water. In true tropical humidity like you get in the swamps of the coastal southeast, you cant cool the dry hot air because it is wet hot air, all you do is add to the humidity or in the case of 100 percent humidity which is common in the southern coastal swamps you simply do nothing but block the wind power of your fan because you cant add moisture to complete saturation. These may work a little inland but not on the coast. For the most part these are designed for the desert.

bassking80 Near Montgomery Alabama in a heavy equipment repair shop and a warehouse near Ft Benning Georgia. They made working conditions bearable, But, you are correct about trying to use them in a swampy, extremely high humidity area. That would be a waste of time and effort. An evaporative cooler requires some level of evaporation to achieve a temperature drop, and the higher the humidity, the less the evaporation effect. portablecoolers.com/models/PAC2K482S.html

bassking80 i live in a dry desert climate, i completely feel you on what your saying. Humidity and heat sucks, dry heat is doable.

Haleene Williams the temperature is irrelevant, the lower the humidity the better. Here in Phoenix we get up to 118 degrees in July and if the humidity is low swamp coolers work great.

HRE : I in america love this

Wonder if you tried it? I am in Tucson and going to try it now 2018

@@gailc1948 did either 1 of you try it? I'm in Las Vegas and got the same heat lol

@@dionesilva4260 this year no - but I did last year. There are so many suggestion on you tube and they are not very expensive. Yes you do for sure have the heat. Have you ever been to Bullhead City or Laughlin? I've been in Bullhead when there was a lot of rain and my sister had a chiller but she also had a pool so that helped.

@@gailc1948 chiller? The small portable one's? And a pool would be ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL about now! And yes I've been to both places and been stuck in Bullhead City for a week with hot water from tap had to wait to let it cool off before we could drink it! Haha crazy heat...

The ancient Egyptians had electric fans, plastic tubing and water pumps?

@@dbodooley invented this idea. . . meaning they had water and a way to move air

Yes it DOES still work in humid climates! Not the same difference in cooling effect, but enough to make a difference. Try it!

Did you try this? Sounds like ti would work.

The ice would block air flow

Mateo_Cafe most of the time, it is a 15 degree difference

Yes, he is making a DIY swamp cooler. Some apartments have swamp coolers but don't get the room below 80 so this will help get it cooler.

CALTECH007 I live in a high temp, low humidity part of California. Swamp coolers, located on roofs, are the customary method for cooling homes, businesses, etc. In my experience the temperature can get into the 70s with swamp coolers. Evaporative cooling is the oldest form of cooling and was used by Cleopatra.

nice. 👍

Dawn E dude its super easy!!!!!

Dawn E at that point I think he broke out the crazy glue and rubber bands.

I need instructions in writing too; some of us learn that way rather than visual.

Gail me too.

hi. i've always found that it works better to put the pad behind the fan.

10 years after the fact, but the size of the holes in the hose needs pressure to properly get enough water out.

You couldn't recycle the water then

SeeWaffle9 There's really no need to recycle the water if you're doing a gravity feed. Also, being more strategic about the number of holes should allow for less drippage at the bottom.

You should try it or we will never know if it works.

SeeWaffle9 Here's not recycling the water. See 4:50. It's just dripping on the ground. At 4:22 you see the end is clamped off, so it does not need to even return to the bucket.

fidel catsro.

Use the pump to put the water back in the bucket from a catch on the bottom.

The pump is inside the bucket of water hooked to the end of the tube

Probably don't need a high flow rate with recirculated water - a bigger, faster pump will add heat to the water. Depending on the drip hole size, of course, a smaller pump would be fine (and less expensive to purchase and run (electricity)). I think some form of flow restriction on the return end would help increase the drip rate, also.

Larry Leisuresuit thanks Einstein! It's his video make your own

Umabari .. isn't he Macgyver..not walken

Put salt and ice in the bucket and you should see some difference in the temperature reduction. Salt + ice allows water to go lower than 0 C in cooling your house.

Brilliant!! Becomes both the water source and the drip catcher.

hi. that could work, but, if interested, i just made a video that shows how to attach these evap pads to the back of box fans without the pad touching the fan. in the new design the pad is sandwiched between two plastic panels and then mounted off the back of the fan. there's an inch of airspace between the panels and the back of the fan, so there's no chance of any water getting on the fan. works awesome and is easy to do. the video will be posted in a couple of days (probably on 07/07/2023).

hi there. i have some solar panel powered ice-based (or cold water based) cooling systems using a radiator as the heat exchanger. those projects would be a good choice. to see those vids check the playist area of my channel and look for the heat exchanger projects.

@@desertsun02 TY so much, new to all of this and trying hard to figure it all out, lol...subscribed to ur chanel!! Stay safe!!

@Karen Gouws thanks for subbing ✔😎💎

hi. the hose/pump connection is 'push on'. meaning all you do is push the hose on to the outlet of the pump.

the closer the blades are to the ring around it, the more powerful the air current (without changing size or shape of blades) but maybe you can do experiments to tell us if one shape is best?

I wouldn't even bother with the screen. I use that blue stuff in fish tank filters and it is plenty strong to not need the screen in this application.

yes you can

An air conditioner! This is why I live in CA and pay high rent. The weather is nicer.

hi. it's called 'foamed polyester evap cooler pad'. they sell it at the home stores like home depot.

No because the water has to evaporate to cause cooling. When you use it put it in a window because as funny it may sound the warmer it is the better it works

gotcha, thank you for the input brother. man it is getting hot out whew!!

hi. it can drop air 20F or more

@@desertsun02 thanks!
