Intro: How to Make an Air Conditioner

First you need to get a soda can.

STEP 1: 1st

Next take a can opener and cut off the top.

STEP 2: 2nd

Now put in ice cubes.

STEP 3: 3rd

Find a hand fan and tape it to the can, make sure the blade is facing the opening of the can.

STEP 4: 4th

Turn on the fan and feel the cool breeze!

STEP 5: 5th

I hope on a hot day you take the time to make one of these air conditioners and cool yourself off to make it a better day with out getting wet! Enjoy!

I'm sorry but this can't work as efficient as you might think since cold air travels downward and hot air upward.

This is actually more like a swamp cooler, not really like an A/C
