Home-made Air Conditioners

[Steve M]

This is done every day on a larger scale, such as geothermal cooling. To be be efficient you would need a larger external natural water source. Powerfull pumps are not necessary, just a slow flow of water. Insulated supply lines would improve it greatly. Powerfull fans .. not needed. just an airflow. It's a great entry level ac unit. Air conditioners traditionally start the cooling process by heating Freon or other fluids and sending them to a compressor, consuming far more energy than the above idea, and AC units still dont work without an internal fan.

Its a neat idea but far more expensive in the long run.

Very ingenious... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

When its very hot I just sit, naked, in front of my computer, and wrap a damp towel around myself.....

Fill bucket with ice and water
Jump in.

If you're not cold enough, add some salt to the mix, sit back and chill

I have a recipe that uses two pints of whipping cream and a can of condensed milk. The recipe, originally strawberry, came with a freezer I won as a door prize and we just tried it without the strawberries. It's the best vanilla I've ever had, but it's very easy to modify for other flavors. Alas, thanks to diabetes, I can no longer afford it, sugar wise. I now what you are going to say, "I could eat just a small portion." But you're wrong, with this recipe, that is just not possible.

No, for the same reason, you know I don't use crystal sugar... and the artificial 'sugars' ('artificial sweetener' is a true oxymoron for something that actually sweetens!) should work full force in a cold formula (heat tends to weken them); I, obviously, use the sugarless sweetened pudding mixes.

The problem with this recipe is not the sugar, as you could use Splenda. The problem is with the condensed milk and whipping cream. I have found that I can not taste the difference between sugar and Splenda in almost any use.

Have you noticed that this Thread has gone from home made air conditioners to food recipes and medical aspects...

...so...

....with my Blood Pressure under control, and no Diabetes, my nurse (with the black tights and the large bosoms) says that to prolong my healthy life, it is advisable to avoid (excessive) sugar, salt, fats, and sex....

I find the 4th item easy to accomplish, the other three I can manage with careful selection during shopping.... ...!
