With the move we were unable to get the central air established after the costs of the floor and new furnace. Most of the house remains fairly cool with good breeze, but my office warms up quickly due to all the electronics. Time to get creative.
Project involved a box fan, a length of copper tubing, a fish tank pump, some fishtank tubing, zip ties, and one small ice chest. I attached the copper tubing to the front of the fan using the zip ties and attached the tubing leads to this. I placed the ends of the tubes into the ice chest and attached the fish tank pump to one end. This was a bit more water movement than the pump was intended for so I have to raise the ice chest and prime the system to get good water flow. What is prime the system you ask? I suck on one end of the hose until the water comes out.
The results is a flow of cooler air. Room temperature 15 min ag was 79.8 with an external temp of 76.1. Current room temp 78.6 with an outside temp of 77.5. The downside is that it melts ice and warms the water incredibly fast.
