No wonder it is so big and heavy. A typical window unit has only two motors. the cooling and heat ejection fans use the same motor and the compressor uses another motor. This thing has at least 5 motors. One for the compressor, two for heat ejection, at least one for cooling and the small thing on the bottom is a shaded pole water ejection motor. dcarch

An air conditioner always need to drain away condensate water from dehumidification. Some drain it out side, some splash on condensing coil to cool the coil and gain efficiency. There may be a hole for water to go from the cooling side to the hot side. dcarch

What is the model# of your A/C? I am guessing there is an opening connecting the evaporative side and the condensing side for the purpose of ventilation. You can probably close that opening with duct tape. dcarch

Not necessarily. In aerodynamics, when air is blown over a surface, it will create an uplift pressure. Try to blow over a piece of paper. It does not mean air is being sucked out. Check your air flow pattern. dcarch

If you are careful in using non-stick cookware, they will last almost forever. Except some cast iron, all other LC products are not made in France. dcarch

Just a quick clarification. I don't think he used galvanized steel. A welder will not use that for making heated cooking appliance. dcarch

Keeping in mind, chemically, under normal conditions, there is no known chemical that can dissolve pure carbon, only high heat can turn carbon into CO2. dcarch

Use drain cleaner, such as Liquid Plumber. Cheaper. Brush on, cover with thin plastic sheet. Let it work overnight. dcarch

I would say more than 50% of avocados go to waste because people squeeze them way too hard when buying. They squeeze 10 to 20 before they buy one. dcarch

Solar powered electric fence is not expensive and effective. I am trying to buy a stun gun ($10. Legal in many states), add a battery and a cheap solar panel and make my own fence charger. dcarch

An electric fence keeps all out, except the flying ones. dcarch

The problem with an A/C in a 5' x 5' x 7' enclosed environment is that it will cool down the whole volume in about a minute and cycle off, then on/ then off -----. A peltier device can be on and off instantly with no mechanical problem, and it can become a cooler or heater simply by polarity reversal. I think most wine cooler/refrigerators are made with Peltier devices. The only issue with using Peltier is to have to provide DC power. May be the power supply to your LED light has spare watts to power the Peltiers. A very interesting project! dcarch
