In your video, you mention your 12 volt, D.C. (Direct Current) submersible water pump, pumps 500 gallons of water per minute, but I believe it actually pumps only 500 gallons per hour, not per minute.
I live in El Paso and am almost finished with my greenhouse. I was looking for ideas on how to reliably cool my project and you hit the mark. Thank for sharing partner. I already have most of the components laying around. Maybe a solar panel to finish it off.
Damm, works Great! I'd think you could get by with cutting a few of those finger guards out of the fan framework, also a sheet of insulation on the top of the unit would only help. thank you for posting this
WOW! That pump works REALLY WELL. that is amazing. i don't know if you realize this but your video here does not show this is working to anyone who has never seen one before, I mean , i know what a swamp cooler looks like and how they work with the squirrel fan INSIDE with the direction of air going to the space that is being cooled and the INTAKE actually being on the inside of the so that the air is being drawn from the outside of the unit through the evaporative pads and then to the duct int the space to be cooled. But this is just giving me a headache with all the shaky close ups and no idea of how this is working. is the air coming through the fan into the open electronics bay?
They need to make these to run off solar panels. Looks like we need to make our own. Pulling DC motors off a old junk car, buy a DC water pump and get a used window evap cooler. My plan replace the motor with one off a car to run the belt, put in a DC water pump, Now I just need DC-DC constant volt and current unit to hook up the solar. It will work as long as the sun shines
That car battery isn't considered solar. I clicked on this expecting what the video title says.Guess it doesn't matter cuz I just noticed the date this was made.
Part two of this video shows the system attached to solar panels. Solar panels>12 battery>evaporative cooler Technically it is considered solar powered. Without the solar panels the 12 volt battery would simply die and the evaporative cooler would longer function Thanks...
@@janhughes1996 thanks for the reply ! I think got it working now. I had too small of a wire connection on the fan itself.. Running around 12 -12.5v now. I got a volt regulator too so i can turn it down to about 70% and it runs at 12.5-13
This unit will reduce ambient temperature by roughly 25-30 degrees F. Just like any other swamp cooler. The efficiency depends on the humidity level. Swamp (evaporative) coolers do not like humidity above 25-30 percent. It never got weird.

Awsome💪💪💪💪. I'm working on earthblock home and I would prefer my cooling to be 12 volt solar. This is exactly what I was looking for

Let me have the "Big Plans." and what make and model of car did you get that 12VDC fan from? That is cool. Two thumbs up.
How do I hook the variable speed controller ? Mine has a red a black and a green wire ..
A 1 minute relay would have been okay, and a push instead of a pull motor would be okay to
Also everytime i turn my radiator fan on my 12v system drops from around 13.5 down to 11v
that's pretty normal try hooking voltmeter up directly to terminal right by the battery and see if it changes a little

Correct. 400 gph. I winced when I heard that too...
so, did it ever get weird with ya? what was the temp it was able to reach? how many degrees below ambient?
