Since I haven't done anything worth posting about since last summer (short of maybe trying to fix up a 1980's-vintage scrolling LED sign), I'll just post pics of my homemade air conditioner again. Here it is in all its "portable" glory:  Four fans, two huge heatsinks (ostensibly for a computer but I can't see how they would fit in one), a 150-watt Peltier thingy, a custom-made box, and a car battery which drains in about 3 hours.  I worked in a greenhouse all summer, see, and one particularily hot day I said to a coworker "man I should just build a personal air conditioner". Of course word of that got around and it became a question of honour; I couldn't NOT build one after that. I brought it in once and used it until the battery died; it was totally worth it.  Anyways I don't recommend building one of these because it consumes way way way too much power for the amount of cold air it produces.
