@cabotrooper Just …
@cabotrooper Just a FYI First off Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide(CO2) , that’s the same thing we breath out. Burning carbon based fuels produces CARBONMONOXIDE (CO). CO doesn’t kill you by eating away the oxygen, or even displacing oxygen around you. CO attaches to the red blood cells in your body and prevent the blood from carrying O2 to your organs, Essentially you suffocate.

u can get a cooler …
u can get a cooler fan that square at radio shack
for 12 bucks
and it uses way less power

it’s cool when it’s running, but think about it… this is water moisture… when the coolness is gone, it will get humid, and that’s just worse than being hot

ummm ….so if you are out in the woods in the summer…..how do you get more ice….or any ice

You are correct. I do not recommend using dry ice!

SEEMS RISKY ?
Fall sleep with it, and you WON´T WAKE UP EVER AGAIN ! Haven´t you heard of died people because they turned on an inside fire to sleep warm? CO2 will kill you if you un out of Oxigen.

What a great idea. Going to the Florida keys for lobster diving, what a great idea to help keep cool.

The Ice Blocks are …
The Ice Blocks are good for one use, and hold up well in a cooler until you need to use them. Once you do use them, then you’ll have to switch to purchasing ice unless you brought extra blocks in a secondary cooler.
March 1st, 2010 at 7:06 am
and what happens …
and what happens when you need to refreeze the blue blocks?

I thought about dry ice, but having CO2 released into a small confined space like a tent seems risky.

Have you ever used dry ice? Do you think CO2 is a problem? many thanks from an all year – Texas camper!

my brother has one that we used, it’s not a booster box, it’s made by energizer, and it has like 4 pug ins, worked out well on our camping trip to power our laptop and what not.

I plan on building one (a smaller version) in the next day or so.

Most of these …
Most of these boosters are rated at 400W, they contain a tiny motorcycle-type battery, are for single-use like inflation or jumping, aren’t deep-cycle, will be junk after about one season of cycling following several discharges, and are best used ONLY as boosters. For power supply you want a setup like an Optima Marine Deep-Cycle or a lead-acid battery Group 24 size inside a battery box. No acid or fumes with an Optima so no box needed. Don’t ask my why I know about this!

But when the ice …
But when the ice starts to melt the salt in the water will allow the water so stay below freezing, or about , for longer. Salt water dose not freeze at 32 degrees, its around -2, so having the water lower than 32degrees will keep the ice from melting longer and the cold water its self will extend the cooling time as well.

if you wanted to …
if you wanted to use it in your car could you just plug it into the cigarette adapter the air-conditioning in my car is broken and this could be useful ^_^

You could use the …
You could use the lid of the cooler instead of cutting out a piece of foam, but I wanted to keep the cooler usable as a regular cooler.
March 1st, 2010 at 7:06 am
Great AC unit!
…
Great AC unit!
Wondering why you didn’t just use the lid of the cooler instead of a piece of foam. Couldn’t you have cut holes in the lid?

Watts = amps x …
Watts = amps x volts,
eg. 5 amps at 12V = 5 x 12 = 60 Watts.
So if you know watts, you can use this formula to get amps: Amps = Watts / Volts.

Actually it won’t. …
Actually it won’t. Salt lowers the *melting point* of ice, i.e. whereas normal ice melts at 0 degrees celsius, ice with salt added would melt at -5 degrees celsius. However, if your freezer is full of ice at -5 degrees celsius, adding salt won’t make it colder, it would just make it melt and you’d have salty water at -5 degrees celsius.

Anyone ever made …
Anyone ever made home made ice cream? If you added rock salt to the ice in the cooler, it would probably lower the air temp a little more than ice alone.
