Didn’t work well for me. Used strofoam cooler, vent, fan and wall plug and froze gallons of water and only knew it was on if I sat right in front of it and even then it lasted about 3 hours before totally melted. Not worth it.
I made one and it kinda bummed me out the ice melted so fast that it wasn’t even cool
i invented this $#%&!@* 20 years ago….wake up
Baxically it is the same principal as our swamp cooler in Arizona only it uses cold water.
