Night light bulb goes out, all your meat thaws.

Inkbird digital controller will save you some cutting/splicing here

Just picked up a set of these for my wife’s 2019 nightshade. Thanks for the detailed content and walk thru buddy. 👍

Can i just put a short lamp in front of my ac unit and take the shade off and turn it on for heat by the thermostat?

I just use an alexa speaker as an external thermostat.

My unit just freezes below 64 or so.

U could also use a thermostat with on off programming for an extension cord and set it to the temp u want and it will turn off or on - usually sold in the agriculture industry

Amazing video!!!

These days in the last 5+ years or so the window A/C units will only cool to 65 F even though you can set the number to 60 F. I have 3 different LG A/C units, and each of them will only cool to 65 even if they are set on 60. I'm very mad about this. I need it cooler than 65 F in my room at night. 65 is too hot.

Great job well explained! I noticed your front valence bumper is black. Did you paint it or did you but a black one and replace the gray one. I’ve been looking to do this.

Wow good job. They look great!

I like them. Can’t tell they are there. Very solid construction.

So I just picked up a lunar rock trd pro last week…. Would you recommend these? How long total to install them?

Some people say that changing the cv geometry may shorten the cv joints life.

We are excited to try this.

Heavy duty ratchet maybe

Link to bypass thermostat?

Let us know how long it takes to explode the compressor 😭😭😭

You can also do this by taking the thick blue wire and fan wire and wire directly to hot then when the unit receives power it will automatically turn everything on bypassing all compressor safetys

I like the part when he showed the ac running and tested temp with a thermometer ....................

Made me laugh. Backwoods hillbilly sh*t is correct. I live in a 2 bedroom condo. 800 Sq.feet. I bought a 14000 btu window AC which is good for 800 Sq.feet. Here's the flaw in your logic. My unit like most units regardless of the btu's if you set the temperature to 60 degrees will keep the AC running constantly as well as the compressor. My condo temperature never goes below 71 degrees. So it runs full steam all the time. Bypassing the thermostat is useless as it already runs non stop. Controlling the unit with external thermostat set at 40 degrees it will just run non stop since the temperature will never get that low. So you did some funky electronics to accomplish what the AC is already doing. As a side note. If i installed my AC in a really small room say 150 sq feet like your 7x7x3 room my unit would make ice cubes and would be very cold. Your modification is nonsense. Just installing your AC without modification would produce the same result. It's cold because the room is small and therefore your AC is running at optimal cooling. Just like your freezer.... small space therfore colder and freezes stuff.

concept is good however the light bulb makes me nervous of the possibility of catching fire. im also not a fan of electrical tape. shrink tubing would be better.

How much lift did you lose not using the stiffer springs? And have you had any problems?

Good tip cowboy. I’m ordering the parts to modify my set up just now.

Will that go in a window in your cold room?

Isn't this what the coolbot does?

My finns freeze up.at 50 degrees I have the same AC unit you do.

Ide extend the temperature wire to rear where on compressor motor since it’s always hot saving use of light bulb??

Boy that is some bass ackwards shit serious hillbilly shit Love it. This made my night funny as hell.

Simple thus BRILLIANT, the best innovations are such. So interesting how men HAVE to know how/why and Woman dgaf! Ie My wife

I got to thinking about this at work. I am totally stealing your idea and using it elsewhere. I will build an insulated box around a window unit. In the box I will have a hepa filter fan pushing cold air directly onto my noctua cpu cooler inside the computer. I will 3d print a shroud to direct the airflow inside the pc, and another shroud to direct the air from the fan to the computer case. You have solved a problem I have been contemplating for years. How to cool the cpu cheaply and effectively for record breaking overclocks. In the crazy computer market, people are buying All in one coolers that pump water in a loop to a radiator with fans going. But this only pulls in room temp air to cool the cpu. If you cool the radiator only then the tubing will collect condensation and drip on the expensive electronics. One guy I saw ran the air conditioner directly into the top of his pc. He tested water cooling with an All in one unit. And an air cooler. The air radiator from Noctua is massively more efficient at heat transfer. Then I thought of bringing in sub zero outside air in during the winter time. And I might try that down the road. But getting an AC unit to cool the air down to 4 degrees C and have a fan blowing cold air at the Noctua cooler at 500 cfm... I might be able to set an overclock air cooling record. The records are divided by type of cooling. Liquid Nitrogen users currently hold the world record. But I just want to get the air cooling record. I think the number 1 spot is currently held by a Ukraine guy named Andersky. He has the record at 5.9 ghz with a CPU cooler - Noctua NH-D14 and air temperature is +2 C, on an Intel Core i5 2500K The second place goes to a Japanese guy testing his pc outside with 0 degrees C I think I can get to at least the top ten list.

change that bulb every year or you might lose your meat.

God bless y'all. New York guy here who hates artificial heat and radiators during the winter. Everyone at my house will put it at 75F which is way too hot so I just counter by putting an AC in my room that runs cool 62. Problem now is that the last AC that I had was rattling and making noises to where I couldnt sleep because it was so loud. So I went out and bought a Danby 12000 btu and the compressor turns on for 2 minutes tops then goes right off. Thought it was defective, so I bought a GE 14000 btu AC. SAME FUCKIGN BULLSHIT, cost twice as much. Then I thought, there's GOT to be either a smart chip in there somewhere making it to where IF it gets below 62 it wont turn on the compressor even if you set it at COOL. Might have to do this before I empty ten 10 round clips into these pieces of eco baby earth day shit. It would suffice for me to have 58 on all night with a fully working compressor.

Why not just bypass the a/c built in thermostat with the black line thermostat that you are running the night light with? Seems like you have an extra night light and some wire in there.

Good video, Scott. I like your supplemental thermostat idea, since that provides greater temperature control to the room you are cooling. I had to add a timer to my cooling circuit (ruclips.net/video/jFo3IJy17Cg/видео.html) to address the problem of frost buildup that blocked the AC fan. But, apparently, you've found a magic temperature setting on your thermostat that provides a melting cycle for the compressor. By the way, I think the probe set in the cooling fins by the manufacturer is called a thermocouple. ............ Ken

Would it not work better if you took the thermostat wire and connected it to a plug and then plug that into a thermostat wall adaptor that turns the power on and off depending on the setting on the new thermostat?

Southern Ingenuity at its finest! Things would so much simpler if everybody just thought like us.

I was not expecting to learn anything from this video but I did. Thank you very much. It never occurred to me to add heat to the sensor, brilliant. Again thanks.

Great video but although "simple" this is more than I want to do. What is the device that costs a couple of $100 and will do this? Thanks.

I want to try this

Interesting design. Has me thinking can make a passive more design so not needing the thermostat or night light. Thinking can use some sort of tube design to equilibrate with the outside and inside air temperature to keep the unit thinking it's warmer. Seems would work better if your walk in cooler wasn't super insulated and the inside temp was more related to the outside temp so to make a more linear relationship between the two environment temps so to balance the tube ratio temp on the AC switch sensor. Your idea seems safer for the device not to freeze up, though wondering about a more passive not requiring more power way. Guessing can also do something solar controlled with the cheaper ways chest freezers are hacked into more energy efficient fridges like with the Inkbird or maybe for a more off the grid solution other cheaper 12V ~10A temp controllers that looks like Walmart even sells now where you'd need to purchase a ~12V relay to switch the 120V mains. Maybe run that controller off solar with a battery or just don't switch via the night light and just switch directly with only the ~12V temp controller in place of the AC sensor. Neat project and has me thinking for sure. I've also wanted for generator and ducted use possibly, to add a starting capacitor for less starting surge load on an inverter or generator like with this video. ruclips.net/video/vKhiFVyMFQ4/видео.html I've been wondering about that hard start capacitor for other power tools when using the inverter more-so for years and haven't gotten around to the math involved since don't use anymore now days, though thinking will again in time. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this video

Update: I have used this setup twice now to keep deer cool in my diy walk-in cooler. I learned that there is a break point where the unit will freeze. For me that is around 36 degrees. So I set this to run at 38 degrees and it worked perfectly. With the mechanical thermostat I used, the temp range when set to 38 degrees was about 10 degree. So it would turn off at 38 and then back on at around 49. So for my purpose, this is a success.

Use 2 small ratchet straps (minus the ratchet mechanism) and loop them through the spring on opposite sides and tie them tight. Then insert a short section of pipe through each strap loop and twist up the straps using the pipe which will compress the spring then insert the spring cap. Still a two man job but easier than trying to compress them by brute force (see what I did there?).

I can see you put ITP Delta Steels on for the wheels, but what brand and size tires did you put on your mule?
