compressed air at a 100psi with water throttled to it. it will make snow, add a box fan for circulation.

p.s. check your capacitor on your A/C, the fan motor may be good. capacitor costs around 14 dollars. a fan motor approx. 150. That is if you buy the part and do it yourself. make sure your technician checks it because they may just replace the fan and capacitor.

Changed out capacitor yesterday fan ran a little bit and died! Was so hot compared to other unit. The sprinkler is just enough to keep the air pumping out from being so hot! Watching .... but a nice change from last night. The box fan I have on it is a cheap plastic one and the heat coming off I thought would melt the fan..... that's when the sprinkler idea came in... once it cools down tonight ill turn water off. Its still 100° outside .... maybe more?

Thanks for the advice .... where were you last night lol

Hopefully everything will be fine. Hope I can get a fan to match capacitor cause I don't think they'll take back this new one?

I heard that if you hold onto the box fan and touch the sprinkler hose and stand in a puddle.... You may be quite "shocked" at just how cold you will get (permanently)....

Lol. You won't get me standing near it without the power off. But this does double as a good home defensive weapon.
