ƒιѕн 3 years ago
Out of boredom I did try this one summer. It does work to a very slight extent, but goes thru ice like crazy as your pumping warmer water back into your cooler. You would need a freezer full of ice blocks. The time and money spent to make this and pay for electric to freeze all the ice required. You might as well just go buy an AC.

What do you think ?

Are there no laws in America about what you can do to your cars? A lot of these would be illegal in the UK.
Kevin J. Henning 3 years ago
There are laws but it depends on which state you live in.
