When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you an apartment with no air conditioning, you grab some supplies and make your very own diy air conditioner. A clever Flickr user did just that and documented his project with annotated pictures.
Starting off with a simple and regular tabletop fan, he wrapped copper tubing in a spiral around the front and back of the fan. Flexible plastic tubing connects the copper coils to the reservoir below so that the fan can still oscillate.
a Fish tank pump pumps cycle cold water up, through the coils, and back down. When the fan blows across the cold tubes, it creates a gust of chilly air in the room. There’s no mention of the cost involved, but this looks to be a relatively simple and inexpensive solution for homes that can’t take the electrical load of a window air conditioner. Just be careful if you try this – or any other hack involving electricity (especially electricity near water) at home.
