cool thanks I am off to make the oddest looking heat sink.

I doing an experiment that involves thermal penetration of copper. Please advise me where to post if I choose the wrong spot. This experiment is being done with what I have on hand and my ability to work the materials. Materials 2.75 gal pot of water 6qt pressure cooker 100+lb of stripped...

So the room is so cool because of the evaporative cooler that I have in there (70), and while I was not expecting that it could cool the entire house down I was hoping for somewhere in the 75-78 range, but it is definitely better than the 99 outside. Thanks for the advice

so I do have the fans in the window, I live in aurora,co and it is suppose to get to 90 today. So it sounds like if I have powerful fans directing the air on the stairs down to the windows in the living room I may get some better results? thanks

so I am trying to move cool air from my room on the third floor to the living room on the second floor, but it does not seem to be working as well as I would like it to. I have the windows open and fans pointing "in" upstairs while downstairs they are pointing "out". Do I need fans directing...

so it sounds like if I am considering using this over a few summers I should just buy a real water storage tank?

I don't know if it was meant to hold liquid, I am using it as a extra water storage container for my evaporative cooler.

So it is inside, out of the way of uv radiation, it is rectangular, brand new, 28-3/4" x 21" x 18" h. Would building a wooden box around the container preventing it from bowing reduce the likely hood of it breaking? Is there anything else I can do to prevent it from breaking?

I have a plastic container holding about 30 gallons of water, and it is bowing. Do I need to be concerned about it breaking?

So according to amazon they are operating off the same voltage, and I have consider the first line in your post which is why if I build the cooling device it will most likely turn out to be just a fun project, instead of being useful for my cooling needs. And sure it would be nice to have the...

So I was actually thinking of building one of these which I am sure adds some complications to the whole concept, but at least I now know what I might be getting in to. thanks for the advice.

19.5 hours to travel 128 miles. So it could take all day?

so if we make some big assumptions we could guess that if I gave the 8 gals 2 hours to cool with the bigger unit we might be in the 50 degree range?

well this is turning out to be a lot more complex than I thought, you lost me on your last sentence.
