Back on subject - anybody got a portable aircon unit for sale?

Yeah, me I bought one when I was building my house, no longer needed now it's finished. Cost THB 22,500, sell for 10K. Collect from Surin beach in Phuket – not sure where you are!

Nice to see some fellow science geeks on here. You can’t beat the laws of physics: cooling stuff down takes energy, so if a unit of whatever kind uses bugger-all electricity, no further investigation is needed: it can’t, by definition, do much.

As someone else said, evaporative techniques work only in low humidity. In my younger days, when based in deserts, we would tie one litre water bottles, wrapped in hessian, to the wing mirrors of the Land Rovers. Soaking the Hessian now and again, the water was cooled, like magic.

Same principle with the Arabic/Turkish terracotta water carriers: they are porous so the water soaks through the pottery and evaporates, cooling the water. Been known for 4,000 years
