    I'm feeling hot and bothered at midnight in the tropics right now, trying to sleep with just a fan. Then I get your notification, and see how creative and educational you are about simple remedies using common household items to get cool. Thanks for your clear thinking and summary of good ideas.

    Sir your air cooler designs give a new meaning for the phrase, “Simple Pleasures are the Best”!💨😎👍
    Thanks again for sharing!
  • @docink6175
    these arent as effective in humid climates like here in florida but they do provide some relief
  • @spcyakima1077
    I tried the "planter box" cooler and the temperature in my room dropped 6°F in just 30 minutes and still dropping.
    Thanks for the video.

    Super helpful ideas! I live in an apartment where air conditioners have to be the kind that fits into a wall, and anyway, they are too expensive to buy or to run when it comes to electricity. I do have several fans, but it gets to a point where they simply blow the hot air around. I bet I can hack something like this with stuff I have around already, which is awesome now that it is in the hottest period of summer.

    You are one helpful human. I appreciate your creations and mash ups and very smart easy to watch videos that help me see solutions to things. I will be using your fan evap ideas in my barn this summer. Thank you!
    PS you are one of the better yt channels and you don't ask for money. 💜
  • 🔥 I'm so excited to try these today! This was everything I was looking for + a whole bunch of models I never would have thought of. Thanks!

    When showing the resulting cooler temperature, it would be informative to know what the pre-cooler temperature was.

    I tried the bucket for a small garage and it brought my temp down from high 80s to mid 70s after about 2hrs
  • We have this old fridge.
    Inside the fridge we put a roll of copper tubing , (50' x 1/4 ").
    And strung it under the house.
    Then made snail-like coils in each room with computer fans behind them and trays with sponge pads to catch the condesate moisture.
    We power the fans with cheap car battery solar chargers and run each motor through a thermostat.
    We have a fish tank pump pumping water through the tube and since the fridge only gets around 40°Fahrenheit the coldness is distributed to each room as needed.
    Very cheap central air cooling.
    But it doesn't take the moisture out of the air it puts it in.
    Many of the southern states use swamp cooler systems because the dry heat is not conducive to helping mold spores grow.
    The cost is minimal and the cooling is fairly amazing.

    I just draped a wet washcloth on my fan after seeing this and it's already cooler in here-- amazing how much they'll charge you for this shit in stores
  • 100 in Atlanta air went out, thank you this helped Especially the wet towel fan huge difference!!!
  • @Karmer
    Number 5 was genius! Thank you.
  • @Dana-xx2yv
    Those are great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

    Fascinating. Now I don't need to budget $300 for a Mighty Kool next month for my small camper! Already have a good, robust dc fan (solar) to move my heater air around in winter so I'm actually excited about my hot Utah summer coming. Thanks, and and great work.
