how about making it a closed system? one bucket with water in the bottom, just like you have. then set a bag of ice in the water.
when the warmer water returns to the water in the bucket, it will be re-cooled by the bagged ice. and once again, the ice cold water is pumped back to the copper coil on the fan.
think it will do the trick?
one bucket, and put a lid on it with a small hole in it so it doesn't flop out. oh, and another hole for the hose with return water. adds to your great idea!
that could have been done so much better. first of all, use an aquarium pump to pump the water into and out of the tubes and back into the water. also, you can buy refreezable icepacks that you simply rotate in the water and the freezer, saving you trips to the store buying more ice.
With a fairly large thermos (that you could fit a small bilge pump into) you could actually circulate radiator fluid and just have frozen zip lock bags full of water radiate into the radiator fluid. It has to be a closed system though because if the radiator fluid is in contact with air ethylene glycol can be vaporized into the air and cause serious brain damage LOL. Its a bit more expensive but you should consider a system like this. I've achieved coolant temps of -17 degrees C.
@blmallett I think it doesnt work at all. I had a big fan and the tubing and everything seemed to be perfect. Please let me know if it works for you. Right now I feel fooled.
this is so useless, its inefficient, hard to build and expensive. blowing the air directly on the water would make it way cheaper, more efficient and fast to build and setup. this way is just a waste of energy
...or once all the water has flowed to the lower bucket, add ice to the lower bucket, shake it a bit and switch the buckets. Don't throw out the water! Save the planet! XD
i saw a better one then this and it was basically the same except you have one bucket but its actually a cooler and just have the water going in and out of that one cooler using a water pump, like the kind in a fountain
put the aquariumpump in the toilet reservoir and the floater will keep the tank filled. No need to be thinking of water preassure coming from main lines.. F**k Africa and their water shortage.
You can get faucet adapters to allow you to drain-off a portion for a continuous flow, with the drain back into the sink. Wouldn't need much flow, either.
College rules are pretty stupid at times, but it likely has something to do with sub-par wiring in the buildings - so keep in mind there is probably a reason.
Why not start from the center and get all the tubing on the grill?? and then hookit up to the main waterline and have a continous supply of cold water? :)
@dadygee considering most places don't charge for water usage, this is a great idea... I would just run the other line right back into the drain too LOL
@tsbrownie A better setup would be to figure out hoe to recycle the water indefinitely. You could drain the hot water out, then use it to make ice cubes, then dump them in the first bucket, and just repeat the process.
@ClamCrunchy The refrigerator would likely be in the kitchen, where the AC probably wont be run. The AC would probably be run in the living room, and if you're very serious about cooling your dorm, you could try to ventilate the exhaust from the frig to outside.
Ice would help a lot too and maybe using a cooler and make a closed circuit system so you don't have to mess with buckets every 2 minutes and may B an electric fan pumping through the cooler with ice might work a lot better as well or you can buy it from cooler air that makes a unit to go into cooler if your lazy and don't want to make it! Enjoy the language cause after your out of school your going to realize most people that use it can't tie their shoes properly and means nothing anyway! :))))
what is it with these forced convection coolers? A/C is phase change and this is just a radiator (and a sad one at that). frankly you shouldn't even post a vid saying it conditions the air or even label it as a A/C unit, is it a substitute? sure, but not an A/C unit.
Use a small pond pump to transfer the the low side to the top, and use a couple of peltiers to chill the water. you could seal the system then and your good to go.
And in real life, the ambient temperature would probably decrease by less than a couple of degrees - if that. It certainly wouldn't produce a 'freezing' room from that much water. If the water was frozen to start with (super chilled with salt), and the copper pipe had fins on it, and the water recirculated MAYBE I could see it dropping it a bit - but still no where near like an A/C unit would. I reckon the heat generated by the fan's motor would outweigh the cooling effect of the water.
@GitarStu that and you would soon run out of ice. and since dry ice and LN2 are expensive the only effective way would be to use a phase change unit (A/C) or a TEC setup, both of which still leave you with power consumption and heat dump to deal with. why not just get a windowless A/C unit?
What i wanna know is where we get these FREE $30 fans? All these tutorials assume you just happen to have these $30+ fans just sitting around. I would love to be able to also call 5 degrees cooler "freezing".
the problem with that style is that it produces a lot of condensation. you would be better to use a cooler to push air through it over the ice and then another fan to push the air around the room.
I wish fools would stop posting these things as advice.
First and FOREMOST is that it WILL add moisture to the environment which just makes the "hot" air worse to bear. How people keep ignoring that fact is beyond me.
Also the tubes will condensate (Assuming you weren't talking out of your rear end when you said they were cold which I personally doubt) which not only is a rust issue over time but they will drip causing damage unless you found a way to collect it.
You are a friggin genius!!!! I mean wow!! You must have an i q of at least 170.. Oh wait, you bonged "Like a 1000 bears" and ripped this idea off someone else. Good form sucking that hose though. Looks like your education is paying off.
@SpecialEd0531 well, at least he tried to share what he have learned. (i'm not trying to pick up a fight though)... but let's just give him a break, and give him the benefit of the doubt --and the compliment too... God bless my friend... :-)
@MaeStified07 Your right.. I was having a bad day, and it appears that he is trying too hard to be cool. It just rubbed me the rong way. If he is like that all the time then I guess we can chalk it up to being young. Thanks for the reality check, and Peace of the Lord be with you!
@SpecialEd0531 no worries... i understand your situation. i tend to be like that whenever i have a bad day. most specially when i arrive home from my duty (hospital) i tend to think less... hehehe... Peace of the Lord be with you too my friend... Ü
Very little btu capacity in this set up. Even if connected to constant water supply, You would be limited to the temp of your water source. Consider a real AC system blowing 50 degrees in a 70 degree room. The only time I have 50 degree water from my tap is in the winter.
the water must be CIRCULATING for it to be able to capture the cold coming from the wind blowing on the copper tubing. It cools it down little by little (not store heat...). And if u have the water circulating it only makes sense that the water is going to get colder and colder... right? right. and u dont have to take thermo dynamics to understand this... requirement is not being a dumbass
folks... it actually will SLOWLY cool small environments... but not by any substantial amounts. maybe a few degrees an hour? So basically if u open ur door once in a day... ur screw'n urself if this is the cooling mechanism of ur dwelling.
good video. i'm in h.s. but still for my bedroom cause even w/ central ac it gets really hot in my room, and I also have a ceilingfan, but that, central ac, and floor fans don't cut it. :D
Heres a good idea... get a big bucket with icewater and do this same thing but have the runoff return to the ice bucket so you don't run out of water, and the cycle goes forever (or until the water becomes warm)

@TheLobsterOfFate this is great .this also can help save water.the used water can be used to flush the tolet or water the flowers or garden. thanks for your help
@hackcollege why dony you connect one hose to the dorm bathroom faut tourn on the cold water and put the other end out tin the shower drain its not like you are paying for the water there lol
Might work ok for places where the tap water is fairly cold, but that's not the case with a lot of places. Than again, those places probably have air-conditioned dorms anyway. Does your dorm room have a sink? If so, just plumb it so that you get the water directly from the faucet and have the warmer water output back into the sink.
Or you can use one bucket and leave a bag of ice in there and a couple of them in the feezer. When the water gose through the copper tubing it will fall back to the same bucket. Which will have ice and be cold. When it is not cold anymore change the ice.
This guy needs to resit thermodynamics course like 4x. Then a heat transfer course will allow you to calculate the needed amount of cooper, depending on the speed of the airflow and the room dimensions... and if you just wanna do it without any theory... I'm telling ya... you need 3x more cooper and a larger heat sink.
i believe you have to put a secondary copper tubing with his own pump and bucket.
Beacuse water retunring to the bucket of the original copper tubing will be warm. So if you enlarge the tube your fan will cool just a bit and won't feel like having an air conditioner
It's interesting that you say that you live in Texas and have no a/c because I hear this as a common complaint from people in Texas. I've lived in Texas and I thank God I no longer do because it is a backwards-ass place and even though the people are nice, the state as a whole is a dump.
Thanks you guys rock I made one for my office using a fish tank water-pump to re circulate the water and Ice in the bucket of water. this works great!
@67tr876 the only problem with that is that the hot air used to cool the TECs or the condenser (read phase change unit) is being dumped into the same room as the cold air effectively making the idea null.
@agentx250 First look for you're chillers intake and Exhaust then put it in a box and vent it. build a door with a detatchable vent pipe if you need to get to the chiller put both pipes out the window. Make sure you drill holes for you're water pipes. PROBLEM FIXED !
@TheGrilNextStreet the smart idea would be to fill it with water and lots of ice. but that's just a thought. something else wise to do would be to replace the buckets with coolers.

I'm not sure? Guess they didnt like what i had to say about my results.
Best i recall i had mentioned something about it did'nt work that well, but it did reduce the amount of the humidity. had A LOT of condensation.

How long did it take for the 5 gal of water to move to the empty bucket? Great job, I'm going to try this in my wood shop

Might work ok for places where the tap water is fairly cold, but that's not the case with a lot of places. Than again, those places probably have air-conditioned dorms anyway. Does your dorm room have a sink? If so, just plumb it so that you get the water directly from the faucet and have the warmer water output back into the sink.

why didnt you put the copper tubing inside the fan case and just poke the ends out through the slits?

really nice video
aravind110995 1 year ago
Or you can use one bucket and leave a bag of ice in there and a couple of them in the feezer. When the water gose through the copper tubing it will fall back to the same bucket. Which will have ice and be cold. When it is not cold anymore change the ice.

Put the used water to good use. Turn the water off to your toilet and flush it with the used water.

This guy needs to resit thermodynamics course like 4x. Then a heat transfer course will allow you to calculate the needed amount of cooper, depending on the speed of the airflow and the room dimensions... and if you just wanna do it without any theory... I'm telling ya... you need 3x more cooper and a larger heat sink.

if we wind more coil,can we get a more cooler one for a large area???????
dimsanda 2 years ago
i believe you have to put a secondary copper tubing with his own pump and bucket.
Beacuse water retunring to the bucket of the original copper tubing will be warm. So if you enlarge the tube your fan will cool just a bit and won't feel like having an air conditioner

you dont pay for water at a dorm do u? why not just hook one end to the sink and the other to a drain?
tracker8v 2 years ago 2
I made this, and trust me. You will need at least 10x more copper coiling than that for it to actually feel cool.

No AC in my dorm, and i live in Texas. I need this
Longhornzrock96 2 years ago
It's interesting that you say that you live in Texas and have no a/c because I hear this as a common complaint from people in Texas. I've lived in Texas and I thank God I no longer do because it is a backwards-ass place and even though the people are nice, the state as a whole is a dump.

so you have to like refill the bucket of water before it runs out and empty the other one constatnly?...
TheGrilNextStreet 2 years ago 10
@TheGrilNextStreet Or you add an aquarium pump to the system and just use the same water with only one bucket!
TheRanblingjohnny 1 year ago 3
@TheGrilNextStreet the smart idea would be to fill it with water and lots of ice. but that's just a thought.
Spense9 1 year ago
@Spense9 Or you could be smart and pay a lot for a aquarium chiller that will if you get the right one get you're water down to 39F or lower.
67tr876 1 year ago
@67tr876 the only problem with that is that the hot air used to cool the TECs or the condenser (read phase change unit) is being dumped into the same room as the cold air effectively making the idea null.
agentx250 1 year ago
@agentx250 First look for you're chillers intake and Exhaust then put it in a box and vent it. build a door with a detatchable vent pipe if you need to get to the chiller put both pipes out the window. Make sure you drill holes for you're water pipes. PROBLEM FIXED !

@TheGrilNextStreet the smart idea would be to fill it with water and lots of ice. but that's just a thought. something else wise to do would be to replace the buckets with coolers.
