Before I had AC I just sprayed myself with a squirt bottle while sitting in front of a fan. At night I'd place wet washcloths on me while sleeping in front of a fan. Worked like a charm.
@Rae I 💯 still do this now in the uk as it gets unbearable at night and I just take a container with cold water and a couple of cloths and a spray bottle of water also and soak the clothes and put them on me and face my fan on me and spritz my self also and believe me it literally saves me and my kids I end up shivering 😂 @kelsier
My grandpa told me when he was a kid they didn't have a/c so his mother would wet down the driveway and cement areas around their house so as the water evaporated the air blew it around and the temp dropped. Not significantly of course but noticeably.
You can also cut two liter bottles in half and secure the pour side to a fan. When air is condensed, it becomes cooler. Two or three on a fan's covering will cool the air significantly. This is better than the video's method because there is no condensation created.
When it's proper hot af, dampen a t-shirt so it's soaked but not dripping and lie down. You'll fall asleep quickly and wake up when your t-shirt is dry.
Or use a towel that is sitting in a bowl of water. (Hang the premoistened towel up so only the end is in the water this way it will keep sucking up water, and therefore emitting cool air, as it dries from the fan.)
Bro the UK weather is much different it changes all the time every few hours they can’t get used to it like people from the US are used to their weather
I agree lol I'm from Argentina I live in the eastern part of the country, it's not that hot during summer compared to the north, most days during summer are around 28-30 degrees Celsius, sometimes 35 or 40... And now that summer is coming I'm dreading it because I don't like it😒
Only works if your weather is hot and very DRY, though. If the weather is even just normal humidity and hot, you end up with a house that's like a steam sauna. Because you evaporate additional water into your already hot air. This tip with the frozen bottle on the other hand will make your air not only cooler, but also a bit more dry as humidity from the air will condensate on the outside of the bottle. Hot + dry is A LOT more easy to bear than hot + humid. Because the more humid, the less sweating (which cools you down) works. Sweating works better than cooling down a towel or sheet because it directly cools YOU down, while the damp sheet drying cools the sheet down and then indirectly the air that flows through it and that indirectly cools you. If you wan to do the wet towel thing, then wear it, like sling it around your neck or something. Don't just hang it in front of the ventilator. Where I live, they actually sell "cooling towels" made from fast dry fibers and in suitable size just for that, they work ok. Hope this helps a bit and you don't end up like me, who thought our air was dry enough and went and hung up our washing and let the fan blow at it and thought we'd get a nice cooling effect but ended up with a house that felt like a jungle. At least it wasn't that long until night time when it got cold enough to let that air out. Should have looked at the hygrometer first and stopped a moment to think 🙈
Salt doesn't make ice colder, or make it last longer. Salt makes the freezing point of water colder, so instead of having 10° ice you'd just have 10° Salt water, same temperature, just a different form.
Maybe if it only reached like 80 degrees in the peak of summer, sure this works. In Texas where it’s 100-110 daily , the water melts too fast to do anything
@@TheSivaslixx No, it is above 70/80% in most of Pakistan in July August with Real feel of about at 45/50 C and in coastal areas the Humidity is at 90% or above. It is literally going above 52/53 C this this Saturday to next Tuesday in many places in Pakistan. You can check that out.
@@muhammadtalha6319 brother today, while i am writing this average humidity in pakistan is 20% and in uk its 62% thats all i gotta say.

I just keep bottle on my arm cold should transfer in your blod don’t use frozen bottle & don’t hold on your belly because you could get belly sick, other trick you can hold entire hand in cold water or one finger
Use an esky cut to holes one at each end put small fan on one end and a 90° pvc other end. Put large block of ice in esky, put lid back on esky, turn on fan and rotate pvc till you feel the coolness. All melted ice stays in esky.
This doesn’t help always point your fans towards a window. if you’re using only one fan, keep the fan pointing at the window, not too far but not too close.
No, because she's not evaporating any water. In the contrary, this method will actually de-humidify your air a bit because humidity from your air will condensate on the outside of the cold bottle. That's why you need a tray or something under the bottle. The thing that does not work in humid climates is hanging up a wet sheet in front of the fan - you'll end up with even more humid air in your house and it'll be even more unbearable.
This is air conditioning with a compressor cooling cycle, just indirectly (more wasted power). Instead of the cooling cycle cooling air directly, you cool air, that cools water, that cools air. Also, it probably only works for a single minute, until the frozen condensation on the outside of the bottle melts down.
Fun fact - during the process of freezing that water, your freezer expels all the heat it’s removing. So you don’t have a net increase in coke air, in fact, you have a net increase of hot air. It’s called thermodynamics and law of entropy.
In the UK its hack since they never need AC till the last 10 to 15 years. Temps have been sky rocketing in the summer over there. So they don't have AC.
@@AlrightDaveuh it’s the truth. My family is from Oldham but I’m American. English homes were built to keep heat inside since it was usually always cold. And homes weren’t built with air conditioning.
Put to bottoes in tye freezer put both infront oftue fan leaving a gap in yhe middle. Put a few holes from the top ofthe bottles down, tye warm air is sucked from n and turned to cool air 🎉
Better hack is the styrofoam cooler with ice water in it, google it. It works better for a few reasons but mostly the cooler keeps the water and ice cold longer and theres no mess like a dripping, thawing bottle of water will have.
Freezing water during the day has the added benefit of pumping even more heat into your house! This only works if your kitchen warming up doesn't affect where you are, or if you freeze the water at night when it's cooler and give extra heat won't be as bothersome
It wont work in humid climate because the condensation will eventually make it hotter as it matches the surrounding temp and will make it more humid and hot. But if you live in dry climate than the humid aircondtioner thing will work
Err no. The condensation is humidity REMOVED from your air. So, even if you wait long enough for that condensation to evaporate again, the net change of your humidity would be zero. The condensation does not come from the freezer, it comes from the air in the room. The ice in your freezer doesn't come from the freezer either, it comes from the room air that immediately condenses in your freezer while you have the door open. It's not like the freezer somehow produces that. So, what will happen with the ice bottle method is this: your room air will get de-humidified a bit and typically the condensation should be quite a bit and run down the side of the bottle. Therefore, put a tray under it. The air will be cooled not because it's evaporating any condensation, but because it is blown across a bottle that's cold. So, you cool down the air a bit AND de-humidify it a bit. Not too bad for the money.
To whoever is reading this Jesus loves you and he’s coming soon. All you need to do to be saved is believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins was buried and came back to life on the 3d day. Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and you’ll be saved!

A tray to catch the condensation
You can also put a washcloth or fold a hand towel in 1/2 and put it under the jug too if space is too tight for a tray
Use condensation to water plants 😂😂😂
@@KingFishdomuse plants to harvest food
For a faster cooling process (not freeze) put a lot of ice in the bottle and shake it until the ice breaks.

Don't forget to put two cardboard walls on each side. This helps concentrate the cold air if you're VERY hot.
We used to do that in the 60s and 70s. It's not new. We used ice cold water in a baking dish.

A damp sheet or towel will be more effective. When the sheet gets warm or dry remoisten with cold water.
