Man Builds DIY Battery-Powered Aircraft A/C
This man built a battery-powered air conditioner to cool him down in the hot airplane. As the other options were expensive, he built one from scratch over one weekend, the cost of making the AC was roughly around 100 dollars.

00:00Hey guys, so it's summer and as you all know, it can get pretty hot inside the airplane.
00:04Especially if you taxi around or wait for your takeoff clearance.
00:08I always wanted an AC for my plane, but the ones you can buy at your trusty aircraft supply store are super expensive.
00:13And they are just some cooler boxes with some fans. So why not build it yourself?
00:16It's a very straightforward build and you can easily do it in one weekend. Here's the one I made.
00:23You put in some ice and some water and the water pump circulates through a radiator.
00:27The warm air gets blown through it and the air comes out here cold again.
00:35I already flew two times with it and it makes a huge difference. I don't even have to open the door during taxi anymore.
00:39I also added a battery for cordless use. The whole build is just around 100 bucks. In the first minute
00:46I show you the concept real quick, if you just want to know how it works.
00:49After that, you can see how I build it in detail. If you like this video, please like and subscribe.
00:54Thanks so much for watching. Bye. Bye
01:27So
01:50This is the lid of the cooler and I'm planning to place the
01:55radiator like here
02:01And the output is here. I bought two different sizes
02:092 inch and 3 inch. So let's see which one will fit here
02:15First I will make a cut here to remove this inner part and then we can see how it fits inside here
02:21Let's get started. For the cutting I will use my Dremel and also don't forget to put on your safety glasses
02:51Okay, so now we have some room. Let's see how this will fit.
03:16I think the smaller ones are better. This one is a little bit too tight here.
03:21I think it will fit, but I
03:24think two smaller ones are better than one big
03:28one big one
03:37Okay, let's start mounting everything together
03:50So
