    This thing is working amazing, holding the whole room at 68° with the TV in place right up against the AC. It's the prettiest thing I've ever built by a long shot but proved to me that this method works great and now I need to refine it.

    Dude! Thank's so much! I did a similar mod like this to my AC in my wife's room, and was wondering why it wasn't doing so well. Then I realized I needed a baffle to block air re-circulation! I have a similar setup to yours actually. This HELPED me so much! Thank you! My wife's happy too!

    Hey Jerry just a little tip if you open the box cutter you should find that the blade is reversible and the rest of the blade might be sharp, sometimes there are even extra blades hidden inside depending on manufacturer.

      @rosen9425 8 лет назад

      It's awesome!
      I'm still trying, two summers in, to ghetto mod my portable AC so it can work at all. Funnels hot air with great volume to the outside and it's impossible to do with windows opening outwards at the bottom frame. Any gap will just pull hot air back in and recycle; giving zero net cooling. I'm renting so using a hole saw through concrete might be frowned upon.

  • @EspHack
    @EspHack 8 лет назад +30

    I've done that, your tape contraption will get wet(condensation) and it will fall apart, thats a very quiet window ac though

    • @Barnacules
      @Barnacules  8 лет назад +34

      I got it for how quiet it is, and also the condensation hasn't become a problem yet. However, I can easily solve it by spraying the inside with lacquer to seal it.

    • @acid996
      @acid996 8 лет назад +7

      Condensation only happens when hot air meets cold air, if there is no leaks/gaps for this to happen your good to go

      I'd be more concerned about the window unit not moving enough air therefore the coil will ice up, liquid refrigerant sent back to the compressor which will burn it out

    • @Barnacules
      @Barnacules  8 лет назад +3

      Keep an eye on the coil and nothing to worry about, doesn't seem to restrict the airflow hardly at all.

  • @thepointreportshow1938
    @thepointreportshow1938 8 лет назад +34

    I own an HVAC company and you just lost 20 percent of air because the wedge you made is not curved in a circle motion so you should use a diverter from an HVAC supply house and use flex duct so you don't lose your air flow plus your causing your head pressure to climb and make the compressor to slug liquid

    • @full95one
      @full95one 8 лет назад +4

    • @sienile
      @sienile 8 лет назад +3

      I would have definitely pointed it away from the TV to reduce chances of condensation inside the TV casing. Rounding the corners won't help much, plus with the reduced restriction from removing the grille he's probably keeping the air resistance pretty close to its designed spec.

    Funny thing is that when I was younger, I used to build a pillow fort out of my bunk bed and sleep in it. Only issue is that it would get pretty hot in there, so what I would do is make tubing out of paper, tap them all together to the AC in the window, then place them inside each little part of the fort. It was really fun, and my little mind was proud. Its cool to see something like this made, enjoyed the video, and it brought out a bit of a childhood memory for me. :)

    • @tiagotiagot

    • @podboi825
      @podboi825 8 лет назад

      If it is only a couple of millimeters thick, just enough to be sturdy it won't, and it will also benefit by being more open for air flow.

    • @IZylusI
      @IZylusI 8 лет назад

      Foam is a better insulator than plastic, so it retains the cold air until it gets shot out the outlet, and 3D printing a custom duct would have taken a lot longer than just maybe an hour total of cutting foam to fit as well as taping it to one color. Foam is also lighter so he didn't actually need that wedge to keep the foam up, but I guess now he can put stuff on it.
      On the other hand, using 3D printing, he could have made a more complex shape to have even better airflow, but again... Foam insulates better, and it's quicker. He could make a 3D printed plate to go over the outlet and make it so that he could fit some sort of tube for directional airflow, or even just extend where he wants the air to really feel cold =P

    I modded my window a/c unit by using a standard household thermostat. I place the thermostat across the room out of the direct airflow of the a/c unit so that it cools the room more evenly. To do this:
    Open your front bezel. Find the thermistor, cut one leg of it's wires. Then route the circuit through the cooling pins on your thermostat and back through the unit. You'll want to leave the thermister in the circuit. Set your A/C to its lowest temp setting, and then use the thermostat to control the temps. It tricks the A/C into thinking it's either very cold or hot in the room and cycles it on and off. Added bonus: you can use a programmable thermostat.

    I dont understand why people use a tape measure measuring in inches, Millimetres are so much easier

      It is standard in the US. Most standard measuring devices are in inches/feet here

      @zachdemand4508 8 лет назад

      And the people that use inches (like me) say that inches are so much easier.

      Zach Demand If you do anything scientific, such as physics, metric is by far superior. But for just eyeballing measurements, I find imperial to be better

    I know this is old but now that it's 95° here in Florida I have to tackle the same project. I just want to say, you are adorable and hilarious and as I was thinking oh my God wow these two guys are gamers that hole up all day in a dark room, the little nerdsters. Then I saw your wedding ring and out loud all by myself in my living room I heard my voice say OH MY GOD, HE'S MARRIED?!???!! Not that you could never be married, of course. I mean no offense. Back to your diverter tutorial, I have the same setup with the TV in front and you gave me a few new ideas. Isn't this the most frustrating thing? Thank you again, and I hope you've changed the razor blade in your utility knife by now.

    • @artai0sdev968
      @artai0sdev968 8 лет назад

      not effectiv use because the build (cost) volume is too high and a fail would really hurt. With foam he can just add peaces and redirekt the airflow as needed.

    • @matthewbrough123890
      @matthewbrough123890 8 лет назад +1

      Do it in multiple pieces for the fail rate

    just a suggestion you could find the studs in the slope in your wall and attach a brakcet to attach the tv to the wall unless you need it right next to your computer setup.

    As you have extra space next to AC in the window. How about a pipe connected to fan that is sucking hot air behind the computer units and pushing it outside? That way you don't get the warm air inside the room and AC unit don't need to work that hard.

    Creates a better airflow, a ceiling fan would also help (Here in Texas a ceiling fan is a must to move the air around)

  • @thenerdycanadian7172
    @thenerdycanadian7172 8 лет назад

    i wonder if you could take a window A/C and set it up to duct the cold air into a PC and have the exhaust fans blow into the hot side, assuming you can combat condensation.

    WAYY more efficient than these window units

  • @krombopulosmichael7994
    @krombopulosmichael7994 8 лет назад

    you could use flexible dryer ducting and move the cold air to where you want like a remote vent. or water cool your pc with an external radiator outside the room.

  • @ChefBoiImHungry

    yes i do know for all you trolls this is a old video! 1 helpful tip.....a pizza cutter works great for cutting thin pink foam and on the inside "reflectix" vapor barrier an a lil spray adhesive on the inside of the duct works great an prevents mold!

  • @omega1gun212
    @omega1gun212 8 лет назад +1

    if you use a fan along with your a/c to circulate the air it helps alot.

  • @jasons5654
    @jasons5654 8 лет назад

    Try flipping to blow to the right . towards the control panel may work better because the TV will still be dumping heat behind it and into the wall and your foam. so it may lower your temps by not picking up the extra heat as it goes

  • @CondoreComputing
    @CondoreComputing 8 лет назад

    I'm not to far away in Lacey WA, since its been getting colder ive been using folding at home to heat my room. I can dissipate about 500 watts of heat with my overclocled FX- 6300 and R9 285 and do about 200,000 points per day worth of folding, since every bit of power goes into heat i consider the folding to be free. And you can write a portion of the electricity cost of the machine off on taxes as well if you make sure to document things correctly.

    Very nice hack, however from an engineering point I would be worried about the extra pressure your placing on the fan blades. Probably be ok but time will tell.
