    Default COLD AIR!!!!!!for my boat aka Swamp Cooler

    Been on this project in between projects. You can find swamp coolers on the you tube. However, I tried several methods, with limited results.

    Blueball and I used this swamp cooler when we were out last week. It worked and we were able to tolerate the heat. I have since made more mods to it. I added a 12v fountain pump and circulate water thru a clear vinyl tube and let the muffin fans blow thru the coils of cold circulated water. Hey, just like and real A/C. Most of the parts I had on hand, so this is a cheap swamp cooler. This coiled vinyl worked just fine. Copper too much money for a hobbyist. I added a cardboard deflector to force muffin fan air thru the coils before exiting thru the 2 inch pvc portals.

    I survived back surgery procedure. I can lift Styrofoam. Can't stand sitting or laying around. Not in mt DNA.
    Next, I will go "junking" for an igloo cooler.

    You can see the water coming out the coil in one of the pictures. Water is cold.

    I made a 4 inch diameter holder from mesh screen to hold the pvc coil. Worked good.
