State of art water cooler

[googe]

Just built this world class water cooler :laughing-rolling: . Inspiration came from the old water cooler bag we used to have hanging off the front bumper of our HQ wagon when I was a kid.

Parts list
hessian
1/2' scrap copper tube
Zipties

Slots cut into tube for coolent flow. Was going to run the base into a piece of pvc tube cut in half but had an after though and will cut a slot into the 44 and have the base immeresed in the water. Thankyou for viewing.

Cheers

I love the way you think outside the box mate. Thats awesome. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[blond.chap]

Nice one mate, you could think about putting a fan behind it to get a bit of convection going.

There's a mob online trying to sell basically the same thing aimed at this market for about $130.

[blond.chap]

How much are you selling yours for Googe? $100? Bargain

Should help a bit, good work :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Have you taken any before and after temps? Would be interesting to see how much it actually cools the water during a run :think:

[googe]

It's at the bottom of the ultra pure manual on this page: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/35252956/Th ... 0104873543 and I was mistaken, it wasn't actually $130 it was $260 :o Admittedly it does come with a $2 desk fan and a $5 pond pump :roll:

Very nice similar designes where used 100 od years ago on old stationary motors.
I was thinking of making something like that on my build. Just for the authenticity of the build

Googe they recon 34 deg sat and 31 sunday plus the hummidity from your cooler will make it very uncomfortable in your
garage ,maybe do a late night shine run ;-)

Used to have a similar setup on a property I was running in western NSW.The old cottage had shade cloth all the way around the Veranda and had micro sprays around the top,pretty simple setup,hot day,turn on water,slightest breeze and it was like a fridge on the porch :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Didn't need aircon,the way the old cottage was designed,all you did was open all the doors and windows on the eastern and western sides and you had great flow through air con :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thats crazy unsub, what a joke lol. Yeah I'm undecided on doing a run this weekend 12many!, I'm over this fucken heat here!!, I'm working in it tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday, 37c that will be wonderful :angry-banghead: :laughing-rolling: . Thanks drunk as, yeah the theory has been around a long time hey :handgestures-thumbupleft: , good luck with yours. Our neighbours had a similar setup on the place when I was living in blackall in west QLD, its an awesome system! !. doesn't work to good in humid weather though,

[quote="Jonno"]i REALLY wish i had a shed so i could do alot of these things!!!! Atm i just still under me patio

Hey jonno, Ive built all my gear on a glass top outdoor setting & a set of saw horses under me patio. Can be done :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Well mate have you got any info on how your water cooler went .I recon if you did it on one of those hot days a while back it would have avaporated a fair bit of your coolant drum . :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[googe]

Haha, you recon your as bad as a woman ;-) , it's cooled down now so I thought I might not need it now, plus I've just moved the tank outside so I'm thinking the.extra hose length might cool it down as well. I'm trying to get shit around the yard done so I can do a.bloody run to try things :angry-banghead: .
