DIY Ice Cooler Air Conditioner
DIY Ice Cooler Air Conditioner. This is a DIY ice cooler air conditioner. It's not a swamp cooler. In this video I show you how to make an air conditioner. Most homemade air conditioners use a fan and Ice to make cold air. This portable air conditioner uses a radiator style cooling system. This cold be a camping air conditioner, overlanding air conditioner, an air conditioner to cool your garage or just about anywhere you need to cool off. For a homemade ac unit, this 12 volt air conditioner works great!
This project can be built for under $100 If you have your own cooler and source Items from Ali or EBAY. When I purchased the items for this video I spent $140 for my build. The exact blower I used Is currently unavailable but the link I have provided Is comparable. I used a 240 cfm fan and In retrospect I could have used less.
