An air cooler. I hate airco (and way to expensive) and got the tip at the hairdresser to get one. Great way to spend the giftcard I received when joining a union. (maybe the union subscription tops it, not sure yet)

Aircooler

Pretty simply put, what you get when you take a fan and put a chilled/frozen water bottle in front of it. Say a fan in about the same housing looking like a portable airco with water being dripped in the airflow instead of using a coolant in a radiator to cool the air flowing trough.

It's a cheaper way to get the temp 1-2 degrees (C) lower instead of freezing your *** off in dehumidified air.

Where are you getting your ice?

I'm using a cooling element in the water to keep it cool. Those come from the fridge. The cooler came with to elements you can fill with water and put in the freezer, but I prefer to use the elements I already have.
