I was told that car A/C systems requires a big BTU system to cool the interior enough, yet fight with the radiant heat from the windows, so i really doubt the small window AC would work lol

That is not going to work. A/C systems work by moving energy in the form of heat. The backside of the unit needs to be separated from the front. Energy moves from the front to the back of the unit. Otherwise you are simply recirculating the energy in the car and the temperature inside the car will actually rise because of the efficiency losses.

WTF

i figured he was gona make some kind of "mask" for the exhaust/rear of the unit and duct it out the car probly through the vent thing that lets pressure out when you slam your door

some of those units are pretty small, and they kick out enough btu's to cool a room

...turn your car into convertable, that'll help,

The whole A/C unit in your window, would be rediculous, the power it would take to power that damn thing, would be ungodly,

I was 10 seconds away from buying a R/V roof top mount A/C unit for my old crew cab truck. he only wanted 200 $ for it,

the Co2 idea is fine, only, there's no way to re-cool the air after going throu the evap. core, even if you could recycle it, there's no way to rebuild the pressure.

They use r-134A and r-12 for a reason .... honestly you could use propane, in your A/C, and it would work fine, if not better. the only problem is it's unstable as hell, and all it would take is one small leak..and KA-BLEWY goes your system.

i saw an old truck the other day with a metal can thing on the pass. window, that you filled with ice, and while you drive down the road, it pushes air into the ice, and re-directs the air inside.. Couldn't figure out who makes it, or where i could get one, but it was the sweatist thing i ever did see,

Ya, but rooms are insulated very well. Cars are not, plus the sunlight let's in an ungodly amount of energy.

Also, a high wattage inverter is going to be a huge draw on the electrical system. The alternator would most likely be running near 100% and the battery might not get charged enough.

WTF

500w isint ungodly, and if you have a optima or somthin it really wouldnt be that bad on your system

and why the hell wouldnt a box made to cool a large insualted room cool a small uninsulated but sealed cabin off a car? i think it would work way better then normal ac possibly

im sure this stuff could be found cheaper

then just HMT some ---- make it happen

You don't get it. A larger capacity battery is only going to delay the innevitable. If the alternator is not able to keep up with the current draw and is running 100%, then there will be nothing to charge the battery. If you upgrade from a 5 gallon bucket of ---- to a 50 gallon bucket, and the ---- supply is still 10 gallons per hour of ---- less than the draw, then you will still run out. Get it?


The other issue is that at idle and most likely up to 2-3k rpms, the alternator is not going to be able to supply the needed current to even power the invertor. It will just fault out and not rununtil the available current is reached. Most honda alternators are only 60-80 amps. Not really much left over after the ignition and other stuff.

Just get some mysters from home depot, a fat bucket of ice water and wire that ---- up nig nog. This is HMT, dont over complicate things.

Hook it up like a horse corral? ------- tight! You would probably start a mad jdm trend. Kinda like underglow kits.
