He tests the AC in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQkLLd0uDiI 2 Drawbacks that come to mind: 1 - At 2:00 he describes the condensation collection system and notes that he is going to "plug the line". That's OK for a quick test, but eventually the system is going to overflow. In real life, the condensate is going to have to be dealt with, especially if the device is used inside, say in a bedroom. Hopefully it'll take not much more than a small bucket, but it is an added component. 2 - Once that 32 lbs of ice melts, draining the system is going to be a bear. With the transmission cooler, pump, fan, wood, ice, water, etc. that device must weigh at least 50 - 60 lbs. With 32 lbs of water plus however much he added sloshing around, it's going to be cumbersome to carry outside to drain. Cousin Where-Is-That-Darn-Mop? Monster |

That show hasn't been on since the early 1990s. True, but "to MacGyver" something is a accepted use of the word even a quarter of a century later. It is currently listed as a Verb in the Oxford dictionary: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us...glish/macgyver |

He has made various versions of an "air conditioner" Run buy solar or 12 V. Not complicated. For a shop or man cave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITtlxjvLQis He also adapted solar to an ice maker to save on the cost of ice.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9CcPZMK-bc |
