clever science fair project…

I’m pretty sure the author understands that this is merely a personal cooling device, not something to keep your house cold (bc, as someone said, the heat you fridge gives off to produce the ice is greater than the cooling effect you can obtain from the ice (energy in < energy out ALWAYS, so the heat removed from the water to make it ice and the fridge pump energy is the heat added to the environment to make the ice))

so all you have to do is buy the ice from the local shop so the heat from the fridge is there problem.

well if you really want to do it redneck style get a bigger box fan and more copper tubing. drill one whole in one side of your freezer and another on the other side and have the tubing run through the freezer. seal up the holes. and the water will get cooled of alot more thus a lot cooler room.
