Look on youtube for the videos.

I made one and it works.

You just need a ice chest, small fan, some pvc plumbing type connectors. You want kind that curve.

Just look at the youtube video.

You add ice and your room will get cooler.

Block ice works best. Any ice will work.

It is easy to make .

Just cut holes in the lid in the ice chest for the fan and pvc connectors.

Cold air will come out.

I made one for a friend when her ac went out.

Just look on youtube for making homemade ac's.

The bigger the ice chest the better.
