Ghetto room cooling

[agnes]

Does the damp towel actually work???

Problem is, I live in an old building where the ceilings are very high. As is the top of the windows...

I have one of these
It only uses something like 27watt as well

Eskimo Fleshlight. Slip into something cool.

Not quite ghetto, needs re-gassing though

futuristic RPG my friend fires air rounds to da face maybe I should ghetto a bag of ice wrapped in a towel into one end though

I just give my gf a quick grope and the icy stare she gives me keeps me cool all night.

Make adjoining large cupboard very hot, leave the door open between, then shut after 5 minutes. Voila, your room is now cooler thanks to Thermodynamics.

(Yes, it will probably be a difference of a single decimal place and yes, the heat will be felt from the cupboard. )

Actually tempted to break out my portable AC unit, not used it since I moved in, one reason being sash windows in my old place is great for a portable AC unit, more usual double glazed side opening units are harder to deal with when it comes to sealing up the windows. Also the living space where I use my computer is about 2.5 times the size it used to be so not going to be as effective

The one thing about the apartment I'm in that rocks is an overhanging balcony so sun isn't directly on the south facing wall and it's dual aspect. Two decent sized windows on east facing wall along with 2 giant doors(about 1.5x2m) sliding doors in the south facing wall so I get a fantastic flow of air. I am stuck with the air temp outside but it does mean that extra heat from inside the flat is dumped near instantly, having the oven on or tv doesn't change the room temp as the air moves through so well.

28.5c inside, a bit warm but not too bad, but lovely breeze and not overly humid.

Looking for a place to buy and design wise a house that has good airflow for allowing heat out in summer is one of the main things I'm looking for. Stuck for years in a house without enough windows, with dead airflow.... never again.

Tower fan on a stack of books just inside the open window, draws in nice cool air into the fan then blasts it over my bed

 

[Housey]

Icey, new, shiny, cooly, sleepy.

 

[Spanker]

I have an 18" high velocity fan pointed straight at me, the tv volume is nearly double what it would normally be though.

 

[Malevolence]

Just a £4.99 6" USB fan pointed directly at me. It does the job.

 

[anything I don't mind]

I have a box fan. Cost £30 and probably the best fan you can get. Outside of aircon or extractor/inline fans.

Who needs cooling? Wimps.

I have a poor man's air conditioner, it's basically a unit that has a fan at the top and a water reservoir at the base, and a rotating towel on rollers slowly rotates damp towel in front of the fan and then back down into the reservoir to resoak with more water.

What about butchering a small freezer for the electronics and some elements, whack that in a cool box with a fan

Would be pretty pointless unless you figured out a way to exhaust the heat from the hot part of the freezer, otherwise the room would get hotter not cooler!!

Stop with the negative vibes!
