If you haven't been watching Zero Breeze then google it. Small portable scroll compressor AC unit that looked promising. However after raising over $1MILLLLIOOONNN it looks like it's just another scam. See the comments on their www.
So the transmission goes out on the Explorer Friday and can't be fixed until Monday, and I have to work. On the road sales. 98 degrees + humidity and my backup car is the teener. Take a 28qt ice chest, blend it gently with hole saws, epoxy in a pipe and a fan. Add a bag of ice and everything in the freezer and away we go. This really worked for an hour keeping me cool enough but not super cold. Then the ice melted. Verdict? I'll be using it again tomorrow. Just know it's ah hour between ice stations.

QUOTE(Marty Yeoman @ Aug 13 2017, 07:38 AM)  Mine had an enclosed water system that circulated water through a coil of copper tubing that was immersed in a cooler of ice water to a heat exchanger with a blower motor circulating the cold air. It was not an evaporative system and worked great for a few hours. I have a two hour bladder anyway, so a stop for a men's room and more ice wasn't a problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Unfortunately it turned into one of those projects that got put on the back burner that might be re-visited someday soon. In the future sometime. Maybe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I don't drive the 914 everyday and when it gets really hot I drive my F-150 that has great air conditioning. Cheers, Elliot |
