An air conditioner certainly gets the job done for cooling the inside of your home, but what if you need to get some work done in the yard or your shed? Or maybe you just don’t want to be forced into hiding by something as trivial as a 100-degree day? With just a fan, some copper tubing, and water, you can beat the heat.
Evaporative cooling is the mechanism millions of years of evolution decided was most efficient for reducing heat, which is why we sweat so profusely when the mercury rises.
Utilizing this method for a fan is pretty ingenious, and it’s an excellent solution to use on your deck for some afternoon relaxing or for the inside of your garage when you’re confined to your workbench.
You could even use it in your home if you live in a particularly dry climate and you make the spray holes extremely small. Experiment with what works best for you!
This is an excellent DIY project for the intrepid and penny-pinching handyman.

Lety Spaulding, you could do this since it’s supposed to get up to the 80s this week

This does not use copper tubing. It uses a small mist hose.

Tried it. It didn’t get the air that cold.
Unless of course the humidity is above 70%. Also you’ll want to watch the mold
Where exactly was there copper tubing? He used misting line and a fan . .
