Revolutionary Air Conditioner!

Add a little silver nitrate or copper sulfate to prevent mold.

Plus no Freon

nice job!

How much would it cost to be setup for a house in Oman (that's where I come from) house size is about 800 SQM. And in the summer, the temperature here can reach 50° Celsius.

Hi, I really think this could be a game changer for off-grid settings. I'm really thinking of building one for actual use. I have some questions, what part of the system should go outside the room that is being cooled. I think just drying the air is sufficient to make a room much more comfortable. For example, the room can be at 28 degrees celcius at 35% humid and be comfortable, but another story if the room is at 28 degrees at 80 or 85% humidity.

Have you test it in hotter environment.

So how large would it need to be to cool a well insulated 3500 sq. Ft. House?

How would i get a diagram and list of parts for this set up. I especality need the name of pumps used.

What is the total humidity evaporated to the room, as dessicant dryier will evaporate, cooling baths will evaporate?

from a purely 1st time account and seeing something like this I would imagine that it would be best to have all the hardware outside (if this was just set up in lab for demo) and only have a input/output located in the room or attached to previous duct work...the hardware could be placed in a cool shaded spot outside and/or well insulated box (if the ambient temperature is a factor on performance/box would be close to room outside and inlet/outlet pipes could be insulated to minimize any heat transfer and keep cold air going in cold ) minus the desiccant/radiator which could be placed in a partially sunny spot or on top of insulated box (paint or purchase the radiator black) any thoughts on the validity of this? Are there positives or negatives of this being a closed up/boxed system or was it open to show the construct? Curious of whether this would be good to use in southern Florida climate? Would be nice to build something like this myself that way I would know how it is built and could service it myself and for obvious long term savings, possibly running this on solar power as all pumps/fans seem to be dc. Ditto on a possible schematic/blueprint and materials list maybe an average or estimate scale to build per size of area to cool. It is a lot to ask as for a newbie first post, but I would settle for knowing how the evaporators are made, the rest seems relatively easy to follow. Lengthy post yes, but any insight would be appreciated.

I have a question. I live i Mesa AZ, the temperature lately has been running about 103 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature needed from the center heat exchanger, located between the stacks over the burner?

Nice accomplishment.. I find this very dificult to understand the inner workings without some kind of diagram. But it is probably not the purpose of the video.

3500 sqft house, depending on your climate, would require a 3ton air conditioner or 36,000 BTUs of cooling or 10,500 watts. This system puts out 220 watts or 750 BTUs of cooling. If you were able to maintain the 11 degrees C temperature differential, and you wanted to use 1 system, you'd have to move more then 2500 CFM of air. You could achieve close to this a 12" pipe moving air at 4m/s.

a note on the ineficciency of the heating, could one use a peltier element as an eficcient heating element instead of thinking of it as an ineficcient cooling element? all an electric heater can give you is an efficiency of 1, with a CoP of just a few the peltier is already looking several times better than an electric heater.

I really hope you guys can follow Applied Science's policy of "no stupid thumbnails on a science channel". Ben clearly showed that it can work. Although it is very sad that even great channels such as your have to follow those stupid trends to get promoted.

Is a schematic of the system anywhere?

I too would like a schematic or better yet a pictorial since I'm a little slow at following the video and I need all the help I can get. LOL

Do you share the idea to make one of these for my home ? , how it can be done

Hi, We are making zero energy homes in India and have been looking for energy efficient ways to cool. We will pay well for consultation to help us make these systems for five-storey buildings. Do connect with me, Neerja Shonek on LinkedIn or Phone / Whatsapp on +91 88472 60439

Can you send me a schematic of the system pls ?
