How to Build Your Own Air Conditioner
HOW TO 
Tags: Air Conditioner, Keeping Cool, Build Air Conditioner
As the tempeture keeps rising during the summer months it can be difficult to keep cool. An air conditioner is the perfect solution and here is how you can build one.
| 1. | Obtain a radiator from a small car such as a Honda Civic, with the electric fan still attached. |
| 2. | Get 50-100' of clear 3/8 to 1/2" PVC tubing, similar to what's used in hospitals, from a hardware store. |
| 3. | Also get all the necessary hose adapters to attach to the radiator and the sink faucet. |
| 4. | Fasten the radiator in some sort of wood or metal enclosure to hold it upright and offer a reasonably aesthetic appearance. |
| 5. | Use a 12-volt power adapter that provides at least 4 amps of power, such as those used to power electric coolers, such as the Koolatron. |
| 6. | Attach it to the wires of the fan, it will run in either direction, pulling air through or pushing it. |
| 7. | Route the tap water from the faucet, through the bottom of the radiator, out the top, and back into the sink. Tape the hoses together for minimal clutter. |
| 8. | You now have a home-made air conditioner! |
