Air Cooler v1
Johannesburg, South Africa, is starting to get warm this summer. On most days the peak temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius. The heat is not excruciating, but why not try make it a little cooler anyway?
I created the contraption shown in the picture below to humidify the air and hopefully drop the room temperature.
The system is simple:
- The fan drys wet cloth, producing moisture in the air.
- As the cloth drys out, water is replenished from the troughs.
- Your living room is graced with cool air and an aesthetic eye-sore.
Whats an experiment without the ability to measure results? I’ve placed exactly one liter of water in each trough and recorded the time the fan was switched on. We’ll see how long it takes to deplete the all water.
