I had done lots of research and finally decided to build a homemade swamp cooler for the 2017 VVA ACTON Maine car show. As air is forced through a cylindrical filter inside the cooler it, it looses energy as it evaporates water. To remoisten the filter just pull the strap rotating the filter through the approximate 1 inch of water in the bottom of the can. Vintage air conditioner for my volkswagen!

I've never heard 12 songs play at once until now thank you.

@ecophage 2 года назад

Ugh frigging YT, I fixed it like a year ago, I thought anyway. I’ve fixed it it’s reprocessing. It’s ridiculous they don’t give me a volume slider for the levels or anything. Thank for pointing out it was still messed up

@thundergrip5134 4 года назад

Have you ever considered making the center housing free spinning and adding a propellor blade so the air coming through turns the inside? Even if it spun it a little bit it would at least keep from needing to reach over and pull a lever

@ecophage 4 года назад

yes, my only reservation if it get going theres nothing to limit its speed so if youre doing 45 down the street id bet that basket get spinning fast enough to start slinging water out the vent. especially with 45 mph wind whipping through the vent trying to pull water out. I have a few suggestions like that I may try this summer. Im most excited for the ideal of freezing the tray that my new filters sit in. I think i could get half an hour to full hour of double or triple cooler efficiency. Make sure youre subscribed for updates and check out my newest cooler lil' swampy!

@thundergrip5134 4 года назад

ecophage yea I was thinking that could be an issue but if it spun pretty slowly at highway speeds

@MultiPimpmaster101 2 года назад

@@ecophage dude you should build a sting controlled vent so when your going fast you can close it 3/4 of the way to reduce the airflow and when your going slow you open it all the way

@kevinlee3894 Год назад

Could this be built with PVC? Also could it be insulated by adding a bigger cylinder over the "air intake" cylinder and adding spray foam?

@ecophage Год назад

Yeah I don’t see why not. I’d probably just slide a sleeve of 1/2” foam inside the can to keep the bulk down and get an insulated layer.

@markbednarz2551 Год назад

Nice build, and at the end, I noticed that you're parked right next to my Sportruck ;)

@ecophage Год назад

Oh. interesting, you're actually one of the reasons i stopped going to car shows then. . .

@PolecatCreekGarage 5 лет назад

How did you make the wheel in the center retract?

@ecophage 5 лет назад

CaptanW in the center of the vent there’s a metal tab with an elastic band attached to it wrapped around the basket and preloaded like a engine recoil pull start set up. My second swamp cooler video may show it better.

@PolecatCreekGarage 5 лет назад

Thanks! Do these work ok? Im thinking about making one for my elcamino for the 2019 hot rod power tour in the summer. Temps will be 95 degrees.

@ecophage 5 лет назад

CaptanW well I have another video where I test them and get a few degrees drop at fair humidity and 80 degrees. So I would say five degree drop is possible maybe more with cooler water dryer climate. I’m in the north east so it’s tough to really test them. I have plans for a cheaper version then the ones I sell with out a moving basket. I’ll be doing another video on that one and doing some more testing so make sure you’re subscribed for any updates. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@PolecatCreekGarage 5 лет назад

Alright il keep watching! Im really looking to do some kind of ac in my truck. its 1,500 for vintage air.

@antmk2dreaming614 3 года назад

Nice vw , not sure about the cooler tho

@Musickfreakbrown 3 года назад

Do people use ice for possibly cooler air?

@ecophage 3 года назад

Ive heard of it. Im planning on doing some testing on that this summer. I was too busy building them this summer to do much testing. Did you check out the video where I test my coolers?

@foxstar5521 3 года назад

I heard d water works best

@michaelrodriguez845 6 лет назад

I want to buy one

@ecophage 6 лет назад

Michael Rodriguez I’ve got this exact one and another more affordable mailbox version on my Etsy ChrisBCritters, links in description, I will also be doing a build video of that one in the next few days. So make sure you’re subscribed for updates

@petermaciasjr4654 6 лет назад

ecophage I’ll be waiting for the video and I’ll tell all my vw buddies about it.

@ecophage 6 лет назад

Petermaciasjr All done filming, editing video now should be up in a few days. Thanks so much for the interest guys

@thetigertard 3 года назад

If you’re still making these I would love to buy one, the link doesn’t seem to work for me, I have a 74 superbeetle that I love to drive but it’s too damn hot here in the south

@ecophage 3 года назад

Oh yeah I do an updated model I’m actually building them right now. Google lil swampy it’ll come up

@thetigertard 3 года назад

@@ecophage I managed to find it! It’s just empty inside correct? I can build internals for it myself if needed

@ecophage 3 года назад

@@thetigertard well no, watch the RU-vid video. It has a stationary filter in a tray. In the build video I test it wet and you can compare it to my coolers with moving internals. Just remember I’m in humid New England so these aren’t very efficient here. You’re welcome to make moving internals for them. I’d even discount it if you wanted no tray or filter. It’s just in my experience it wasn’t worth the extra cost for me to make the internals when the lil swampy style tested similarly and has no moving internals.

@thetigertard 3 года назад

@@ecophage an empty one would be perfect, the weather here in South Carolina can be all over the place so I think I may get more use out of the old style rolling sponge like this design and the old thermador coolers

@ecophage 3 года назад

@@thetigertard so if you order a lil swampy and just put in the notes no filter or tray, I’ll kick you back %10 immediately. I won’t rivot the ends on so you can pop them out to work inside.
