just a simple ice chest, Rigid FoamFoam Insulation, 12 volt blower motor, frozen water bottles & a pringles can. It’s good for about a 15-20 degree tempurature difference.

Just a cheap ice chest air conditioner that I tossed together with some parts that I had laying around. Small ice chest, Rigid FoamFoam Insulation, a couple of frozen 2 liter bottles of water, an old 12 volt boat blower motor, a car battery & a pringles can! It works OK at best & is good for about a 10-15 degree temperature drop. Of course it would have worked much better with a larger cooler & more frozen bottles. I only did it for the fun of it, i could see a larger one being OK for camping in a small trailer but that’s about it + you need to replenish the ice.

On finding foam yourself – Home Depot, Rona, or most well stocked building supply stores:
The pink stuff is called – FOAMULAR® Rigid FoamFoam Insulation (made by Owens Corning).
Also called – Cel-Lok® Rigid Extruded Polystyrene
The blue stuff is called – STYROSPAN™ extruded polystyrene insulation (made by DOW).
Over in the UK:
The yellow type is called – Polyfoam XPS (Site Survivor™) extruded polystyrene insulation
(made by knauf-insulation)
also look for Celotex
Some one commented on where to find it over there but I can’t find it right now.
Det finns på dom flesta byggvaruhusen. 2 som jag bekräftat har det (har köpt därifrån) är Coop Bygg (blåa varianten) och Bauhaus (oranga varianten). Finns vid “isolerings-avdelningen”, dom har ofta vanlig frigolit där också.
