5 ways to make your own air conditioner

July 8, 2016

What do you do when your air conditioner breaks down?

What do you do when your air conditioner breaks down? Call a repair man? Try to turn your dog's tail into a fan? Build your own air conditioner from scratch? To my surprise, YouTube is littered with DIY videos of how to transform household items into air conditioners.

According to Popular Mechanics: "Air conditioning is a modern luxury that many of us take for granted, but it's not always feasible to set up an HVAC system in a room or to invest in a stand-alone AC unit. With a few household items and basic tools, you can build your own air-conditioner that can cool your room more than you might think."

Here is just one example of a home-made air conditioner.
