15 foot roll of 1/4" Copper tube
(2) 3/8" clear vinyl tubing cut to length needed.
(2) hose clamps that fit the outer diameter of the vinyl tubing
A bag of short zip ties or cable ties (get a bag of 100 they don't cost much)
Fountain pump
A cooler if you don't have one and a way to cool the water inside.
This is a excellent idea for people working under a tent on events they can't use a ac unit,this point is for the haters with negative comments.
It's more of a utilitarian idea... Useful when it can be utilized on a 105 degree (F) day and your AC takes a crap. Just rotating ice packs by using your freezer. I'm makin' one!!! I am an HVAC/R guy and something like this would get you through the night more comfortably during a system breakdown.
You've never seen people with AC in their tents? Barbaric!
@@humanmale4610 yup- happened here- 5 days without air. at 95-102 during the day.
Opened windows and screens along with Reflective tarps on one side lowered it to 85-
@@angelchiriboga3904 very cool...pardon the pun.
I used to be a fan, but after watching this masterpiece, now I'm a whole air conditioner.
I cannot believe that many peolpe think negatively about this proyect , copper is a great conductor of temperatures ( whether hot or cold ) , the great inventors were always criticized negatively , everything has a cost , thank God my house has air conditioning and i'm going to do this idea , thanks for sharing this grate idea .
Not an invention first off, in fact ice is how the original ACs cooled, and a "ton" of cooling referred to a weight of ice. Second, unless you purchase ice or use a refrigerator/freezer outside to make ice, this actually adds heat to your home.
I don't think negatively about this project , I am just having a little fun cause he made it way too easy !
Even though there are naysayers everywhere, this is the first thing that I have seen that will actually work. I'm sure that the naysayers would instantly approve the infamous Chillwell.
I have to say......This is the best diy air conditioning system I've seen to date!!!!! Great job
+Sweet Sheri
Thank You
I built one of these years ago with a condensate pump. Yes, I'm also an HVAC technician. The key to how well this setup performs will always depend on how cold you can keep the water supply. The insulated cooler this guy used was a nice touch. I'd recommend freezing half gallon jugs and setting them in uniformly to fill the entire cooler with solid ice, basically, & only run enough water that you need to fill the circuit/make it circulate. It's not AC, but they'll help out in a smaller space some.
@@s1iznc1d34 less water to cool, less heat absorbed by the ice.
@@s1iznc1d34 I get it fine & you are correct. Was just looking at the back and forth & thinking I was confused by your response saying "not only", rather than, "not only that". It looked as if you were debating the water level. Apologies for any offense.
Your an HVAC TEC ?? Could you tell me what you would run the intercooler lbs at on a 2 stage system pulling 8 inches of vacuum ? And what temp would your evaporator be at ??
Ive got 25 years in the field . But I only consult now.
@@s1iznc1d34 Didn't do squat to your post & I don't see this situation as a win or lose instance...guess you did though, so you can make the assumption what you can do with your shorter hose. 🤣
I’m so grateful for people like you, who shares these kind of hacks with the rest of us. Thank you.
Thank you and welcome
Unless you got all the supplies laying around, it would cost as much as a cheap window unit. Without all the work.
@@crujones4046 it won't be as cheap to run a window unit as a fan so its worth it
@@crujones4046 You guys are everywhere aren't you? With your crappy cheap window unit. You have to find one, that fits your window. You are going to go through a lot of failures that you can't fix yourself and the electricity bill of those is a joke
Zunzulla alagaty. No, the joke is the amount of cooling you’re going to get from this contraption. If you live in a hot climate this thing is just going to piss you off.
This may not be an appropriate application for everyone, but it's perfect for us. We rent a house in Seattle that has no air conditioning, and we aren't allowed to make any structural changes. Only a few windows open, and all but one are tiny, so we do our best using cross ventilation and fans in the windows to exchange the air, but it's still 80+ degrees inside the house between 1-7 pm. THIS is a perfect solution for us, so thank you, fixitsamo, for taking the time to make this video.
Portable air conditioners only need a small window. They work just like a window unit but sit inside the room on the ground with a tube used to expel the hot air via the window.
I keep my windows closed throughout most of the day and have them open at night, one on each side of the house for that cross ventilation. If I cross-vent during the day time, I’m blowing out the cool air I generated over night and taking in the hot outside air. My rule of thumb: fans are removed and the window is closed before sun hits that side of the house.
I used to underestimate the how much heat the sun actually generates; I think most people do. Blackout curtains, close doors to rooms. Inside fans stay on to continue air circulation.
There’s a lot of variables, what works for me might not work for everyone. It keeps my place cooler than it is outside. Tolerable.
They are also very heavy and expensive.
I went to 5 videos just like this and you're the first to have link to parts or even explain what parts are called! You got thumbs up that they got thumbs down!!!
Awesome idea to use on a slightly bigger scale for a larger outdoor fan on a patio... in Texas, in the summer. I read some of the comments - people don't realize the uses this is good for. And no, I don't like misters, I prefer cold air. Great job Samo!
+Michael S Thank you
One of the best set ups for home made aircons, well done!
OMG! This is ingenious, i haven't seen anything this brilliant since the invention of the air conditioner. This is a real game changer! And in the winter time he can boil water on his electric stove top and use his fan for heat.
Lmao
And in the fall and spring, he can run room temp or “Luke warm” water through plastic tubes for some good room temp air.
Why does everbody complain, that he could have simply bought an AC? This video is about making one yourself. Or even about understanding heat exchange and learning to build stuff..
exactly
you have a illegal bedroom then
tribulation138 the whole point is he's trying to make it cool
@@tribulation138 lol right
@@justblase5270 you want cool…move to Alaska dummy. This thing is a waste of money not to mention it’s not as efficient as you would think it would be. But go ahead run something like this in your illegal troll hut and when it burns down hopefully your not in it when it does
Tried it. Air was cool directly in front of coil but had condensation build up which was dripping water all over the floor under my fan. Also, definitely need to use a proper cooler. I used a bucket with ice and water for the test run. Didn't last more than an hour before ice completely melted. I will try it again with a cooler in hopes of keeping the water colder and longer. I live in the Philippines so needless to say, this would have been a great idea had it work a little better. I'll give my results with the cooler later...
Ooooh I could use this in my camper or so many things! The ideas are spinning in my head!
Thank You for showing the before and after temperatures 🌬️
I used to be a fan of your channel, but then I turned into an air conditioner.
haha
+Holland Salomon lol

😂😂😂😂😂
Well done, Sam. Great video, very concise and a great idea, I think. Gives me another option for my stealth van build. Thanks!
youll need a small towel to catch the condensation that will form on the coils. I just made this fan for myself, and it does condensate enough to leave drips of water.
I was blown away, can't wait for someone to help me convert my fan, thanks alot learnth so much
Very nice, cool looking fan too, matches the brass well. I totally want to try & build one. Pretty brilliant. Thank you!
I had a similar but much larger system in Chaple Hill apt.s in Framingham, finned heater pipes
had chilled water go thru them in the summer and hot water during the winter. a GR8
set-up, nice and even w no cold drafts.
Wow, so it's basically a "dry" swamp cooler. I like it!. It's freaking hot where I live, we may have to try to make something like this.
Great !! Just right for my old 1978 camper van ....no room to rig up a working compressor etc . So this is a working home fix , and get one out of overheating for a few hours...Thanks for this, just the job. Doesn't break the bank either.
I had to live a comment to help your TH-cam stats in the small way I can contribute - I've liked you and subscribed (!) - What a great simple and clear project. That doesn't cost $100! Or need fancy tools!
I would recommend leaving the copper tubing a little longer on the ends, so that your hose connections aren't right above the motor. If you have a leak, you don't want water getting into the motor, so I'd say leave the ends longer, and bend them down below the motor.
it's okay water won't burn out a magnetic motor
I was thinking about that myself about if there's a leak someone might get cooked .great video though.
yes good idea.
nice one, Dave
I think I'd also put a drip pan under that coil. High humidity climates will get condensation and you could end up with a huge puddle of water under the coil.
One of best presentation I have seen. You speak slowly,clearly. Also explained all parts clearly at the bigining. I am a house wife not good at technical info. I am going to buy parts tomorrow and make a/c unit. Thank You
C L if you have a harbor freight near you they have several good pumps at reasonable prices
How well did it work
This is helpful DIY information; thank you for posting this AC fan project.
I had tried placing trays of ice/water in front of a fan with little success.
This is the best video on the subject. Gonna build one. Thanks Sir for your tutorial.
Small air conditioners are the same price as all the stuff this DIY needs! However, it was a great science lesson, understanding how to make a cooler. We need to discover ways to cool without electricity!
Yeah it's called trees under the shades
Word.. it’s called moving to Alaska
Solar panels
I made a similar A/C fan for $15. I had everything I needed except the pump. If you already have the stuff on hand then it’s a fun and easy project that you can easily move throughout your house.
@@Helmuesi911 way too many **** mosquitoes
Pretty neat idea. However I would suggest 1 improvement for people trying this.. Right now if the connection between the copper and plastic ever gets loose, it's right over the fan and to my mind that could be dangerous since it could short out the fan and potentially start a fire. You can mitigate this risk by having the copper tube be longer and bending it so that it's lower than the fan's electrical compartment and perhaps further back.
starting fire with a short cut :)
these days the eletric will shut off immediately
In most parts of the world in most buildings - yes. But better safe than sorry, or in this case dead. Never trust a single point of failure to always work. ;)
Fabian Van Der Mijde, nope. Fans like that usually use 2 prong plugs, thus are not protected by differential breakers.
@bear Arms if there issint one in the plug itself there is a RCD wich checks if all electic power that went in the house also comes out. if there comes less out as there goes in. it will shut all the power off.
Yes. And for RCD to work you need a ground wire, which fans typically don't have. RCD doesn't care what exactly is plugged into a socket - a fan, a wet fan or a human.
That's really cool (pun intended)! We just looked everywhere for a portable air conditioner and they're all sold out. It's supposed to be 110 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow If we can't find one tomorrow, I might try this. Thanks for posting this.
David Levinson It’s a very cool contraption. Go for it!
How last long if use two pound ice ???
I don't know what everyone's crying about. This is a poor man's fix and I think it's brilliant. 👍
The poor man would be hot. And in the end it would cost him more..

+Wastedon4loko pwahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂

+Jay Francis Jay please..
Very good idea. I would put a coil in the back of the fan too. Because it draws air pressure from the rear. Also I would use a second(larger) cooler for the return water so it has a chance to cool and will not immediately mix with the already cooled water. Place a second pump to feed the return tank water into the cold tank. This should cool more and longer. I'll make one and see what happens. Again great video. Thanks for sharing.
Jesse Madison please do a video of the upgraded version.
Sound cool
That makes sense, really curious if that works better please post & share if you build one like that.
@@tanyapineda7212 Thank you for the encouragement. I will definitely post and share it. I currently have one of those portable air conditioning units. And honestly...it sucks.
I believe that the fan idea would not only cool my room far better, but it would consume far less energy than the actual air conditioner. I'll post the comparison between the two. This will be very interesting. Thanks again.
@@megatron6771 Thanks. Let's see how it turns out. Video Release date 07-10-20
Please make a video how to make ferrari at home
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂nice one!
Safety note: make sure the copper pipe reaches down below the fan motor, almost to the floor/table/whatever surface the fan is on, then make the potentially leaky water connections down there so if there is any leaking, it doesn't go into the fan motor and burn down your house 8)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
i thought the same
Watch for condensation building up on cooling pipe, that can cause issues, with both electric motor, wires, and good furniture finishes. Remember all AC's have condensation buildup on the cooler areas. I get it with my store bought A/C., outside my window.
I like the fancy schmancy copper colored fan!
Thank you for putting the zip ties in line!
I got ur point using copper tubes really a good idea because cold temperature travels in it
Thumbs up. The best thought out design I have found
You'd be surprised how cool a simple fan can make you feel when you're covered in sweat.
Wash yourself down, and remain wet (don't dry yourself off). Step in-front of a fan, and feel yourself cool down real fast. In fact, you'll get a chill by doing so.
This was how they cooled homes back in the 50's before air conditioning When I was a child, we had a huge box fan with a water reservoir that cooled by evaporation blowing across a block of ice.
I use an air circulator when the friends come for a barbacue, but in my city temperatures easily reach above 40°C at 4 pm in summer so at 7 or 8 pm is still very hot, a cool breeze will be more than welcome. I will probably make a couple of modifications to suit my needs but it's a great project for a weekend.
Thank you.
Nice video sir. Some people just don't understand that this is a workable solution for some people. I work in a shop where it easily gets 105 degrees (Fahrenheit). I would gladly build this to set on my toolbox to get a gust of cool air when I go to the box. Obviously it isn't going to cool the whole shop, or a whole room. and a window unit wouldn't be a good solution because it would simply dump the heart right back into my air. Nicely explained and I enjoyed the video.
Watch out for the condensation and wires
Nice DIY for cooling WITHOUT humidity .. so plastic tube and pump can be placed everywhere (and in other room if needed) .. i have an old little freezer, planing to place the pump in there .. ..🙃
That's what I was thinking. The tube should be small and pliable enough to be closed around by the door no? Or drill a hole and out it through with a tight grommet
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

Hello fixitsam I wanted to give you an update . I created more insulation in my cooler with cardboard wrapped in tinfoil and I put salt in the water containers. I love this fan/AC. I can work at my desk and not have to turn on the expensive AC to the home ! Awesome! Thanks again !

Thank you and welcome
This is actually a much more efficient system than many I've seen here on TH-cam. The only problem with using ice/water as a coolant is that ice is expensive - either in money if you buy it yourself or in time if you make it yourself. And added to that it is the time spent swapping out bags of ice and cleaning the system. It's pretty cool (pun intended) but, as physicists say regarding perpetual motion machines: there's no such thing as a free lunch!
just my guessing. maybe An environment that‘’s extremely too damp can cause rheumatism rheumatic bone ache ?
of course, its an old video

Thank you! I am going to do this instead of buying a portable AC unit. This way, I can just have a fan blowing with refillable ICE packs... much cheaper than running a AC unit and since I only do work in the garage about once or twice a month, I will only need this 10 or 12 times a year

Thank you
i need this in my room, Indonesia is very hot, the weather every day is 38°c IT'S very hot, thanks for brilian idea 😉
what a creativity hats off to you bro
What great project to do. Thank you.
this would be great in campers and other temp living conditions with a power supply.
Or if you're camping and electrical power isn't available, you could Re-wire the ac port. Solder the wires onto a solar panel. You'll have cool air when you need it most. In the sun. 👍🏾
Great and decent looking idea. Rather then buying ice, use 1 gl milk jugs filled with water and frozen. Cheep and reusable.
Thing is, won't water condense on the copper and drip? That's what worries me
+C.S. Ewens it does sweat a little I put mine on a towel it actually does cool the room off I used bigger copper and tubes tho and water bottles to keep reusing works great
+Bobby Ruiz if you keep the round bit of the coil away from the fan and lag the flow and return pipes should be no problem then. Im an ac technician and i believe the added distance away from the fan would actually decrease the air temp from the coil
Chris C Ahh that's actually pretty smart sounding! Good shit.
Wow! That is a brilliant idea of yours! Thanks!
in the winter time use an aquarium heater instead of ice for a safe low watt heater using an extension cord
You are very smart. Thank you for sharing it.
great idea for camping in a tent. think I'll build one battery powered
I was thinking the same
If you are camping make it solar.
I'm guessing you are car camping, because I definitely don't want to bring all this AND ice in my pack.
Try using a 12 volt Car Fan that gets plugged into a Car's Cigarette Lighter Socket. You can also get a 12 volt water pump like they use on Boats, and Campers. Then power them with a Car Battery and a Solar Panel connected to the Battery to keep it from running out of power. It's Free Energy! A Big Decrease on your Hydro Bill! So Take Advantage of it!
awesome video. I'm gonna build one of these this week for sure . thanks for posting
+steve zavala
Thank you
This does work! 1. It's a closed loop system.. 2. I use a collector pan under the fan coil to catch the water off the coil.. 3. I use the little freezer packs which are reusable.. The haters don't know what they are talking about. 4. I use an Igloo 42 Qt chest. Lasts all day!
You are absolutely correct
They use a similar set up in crop dusters, they get hot and no ac
This is so smart. And it works. Thank you!
+RainbowTunaFish
Thank you and welcome
Simple fix to try. Stick reservoir in freezer. Fill reservoir with anti-freeze. No ice needed, no maintenance.
do you not know how a freezer works
alcohol is better than anti freeze, you dont need methanol, but IPA will work
Worth a shot, but It might move too much heat into the freezer. The sealed system on most residential refrigerators are rated under 1000 BTU.
This really is clever. Thank you.
HI cool Idea , i will keep this in Mind just in case the next summer here in Germany is warmer
If i could make some suggestions start connecting the water coil at the middle of the back of the fan then go over to the front you will finish in the middle of the front.
this is the most efficient way to remove the lower temps from the coil.
Coolest video of the summer, well done, thank you!
Thank you
@@fixitsamo can i know how long did the water remain cool? or how long did this DIY aircon last?...can it last the whole night?..............thanks for sharing ... coool setup
Between 8 to 10 hrs depending on how much ice you put and the quality of your ice cooler after experiencing i found out that if you add ice in big blocks it will melt a lot slower and you could have between 10 to 13 hrs off cool air
@@fixitsamo When it lasted 8 to 10 hours, what was the temperature in the room like before you turned it on? Thanks!
I have a 12x15 feet workshop outside the house with insulation and jibes installed it could lower the temperature from 35 to 23 degrees im now using blocks of ice by refreezing my ice bags the ice is melting a lot slower giving me more time of cooling air 2 to 3 extra hrs
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Use a small portable freezer instead of the ice box. It will run longer before the water gets warmer.
Freezer will consume way more power :D Additional power over the fan and water pump.
Yes it will certainly but still less than a conventional AC. I am not sure how long the Ice water bucket will stay cold itself.
That makes no sense because the freezer will output the heat it takes from the ice directly into your room.
Well done. My only concern is with the connections being above the electric motor. Perhaps bend them down and back before attaching the hose and clamps. Cheers!
Magically this appeared on my TH-cam recommendations and it is so so hot here! Thankyou YT. Trying it.
you can, of course, use a smaller copper tubing and get more surface area,,, and use less ice over the long run. I like the idea someone said of using the ground to keep the water naturally temperate.
awesome idea... thanks for sharing
+Nitu joshi thanx
I see a lot of comments saying this isn't an "AC", well here in South Georgia it's 80'f in February. All AC is cool air lol....
Man, I really appreciate the way you describe what your doing. MAKE MORE VIDEO'S!!!
Very Steampunk-esque, nice job!
This is perfect for those who don’t have AC in their Vehicles.
CUT THE PLUG ADD A CAR PLUG PLUG IT AND IT WILL WORK
Freeze gallon jugs of water they will stay frozen longer than bag ice. Keep one in the freezer to switch out as needed
@OneDayAfterAnother we made a set up to take with us in our camper. We put about 6 inches of water in the cooler and set two gallon jugs in there with the pump in between them that way the water is circulated around them. The jugs were 3/4 full when we frozen them. The water was still very cold 5 hours later when we turned everything off. The jugs were 1/2 thawed. We keep 2 jugs in the freezer to swap out the others when they’re thawed a lot. Bottles would work too. They will thaw quicker due to smaller size. Think of it like an ice chip compared to a ice cube. Smaller will thaw faster
Add rock salt to the water and it stays cooler longer.
Awesome idea. I can use this in my garage !!
This is amazing.....such a good option when buying air conditioning is cost prohibitive. Thank you
Put the return line and the pick up line at opposite ends of the cooler. It will give the returning warm water a chance to get cooler before recycling it back thru. As it is now, the warm water is dumping out right where the pick up tube is and mixing with the cold water right away. That will raise the temp of the water getting sucked up. Meanwhile the coldest water in the cooler is nowhere near the pick up tube.
If you really want to extend the life of your ice. Connect the return line to a another coil of copper tubing. Bury it in a layer of ice, but above the water line. That way, the returning warmer water has a chance to cool before dumping back into the ice chest where the water has already been cooled. You should end up with even colder water circulating thru the system. Assuming you have your pump set at a very low speed. Your coolant source will be depleted in no time if you pump the water thru too fast. Because heating of the water will outpace the cooling of the water. Good Luck!
Definitely an HVAC guy. Good tip.
I thought about that for a sec,,, then I recalled- COLD water IS what is being Pumped it,,, it is not exchanging eat.
@@angelchiriboga3904 yes, but as the fan pulls hot air across the cold water, a heat exchange takes place. The hot air becomes cold, and the cold water becomes hot. Therefore, the temp of the return water will be higher than when it left. The temp of the returning water directly influences the pace at which the ice melts.
@@HueMongussD it is such a small difference, by the time it returns, the already cooled water(33F) is being pumped Back into the line.
but Yes- you are right. Salting it takes it down to 20F.
I would use that for a Bigger ystem.
