1. RIP to the microwave. It died a peaceful death yesterday trying to heat up my keefe cup.

2. I know this video is kind of old, but for you and your people who are doing cleaning jobs and flipping houses… you can put that rag not on your head wet, but around your neck wet. It helps the blood flowing to your brain cool down, which cools you down. Also getting cold water onto your wrists and ankles helps a lot too. Next time you're hot, just try it out!

3. Being in some arid places, and being in very cold places, where I live now is usually a very fair and rainy day global warming there is really no evidence to support it. I was falling for the OMG we have climate change or global warming; when really what is going on with the earth it has been happening since the planet was formed every thousand to ten thousand years as the poles shift. The pole shifting is a very well documented science; the BS crap Gore made ppl afraid of is a normal occurance; however, he got the results he wanted is everyone to believe our country is in such bad shape, but tell me why do they not have this type of bs crap for China and India; they have the worse climate and smog we are one of the cleanest. Plus if we had such bad state of our planet where we are suppose to stop driving, ban cows and airlines, unless of course you're a 1% and can fly their personal planes and be driven around by their armed security while those who don't have will be forced into more and more depression.

   I know there is more false information than truth out there but you have to be willing to research what you hear others state don't use news publications or govt paid scientific info, you'll find facts sprinkled around.

4. I was in women T.D.C. J and in kdorm intake housing and it was 120 Fahrenheit !!!! How did I know they came in with a laser temp gun and checked!! There was a floor fan to circulate the hot air and they still didn’t turn it on!!! Plane state in Dayton Texas!!

5. joe it’s wesley mcguffin speaking and i was in a county jail in frankfort kentucky and i had 5 guys try to hold me down and rape me because they got every thing in the cell block taken from use and i went off on them that they tried to do this to me that i jumped out of my bed and fought for my life using only my bible and i’m really hoping that you would invite me me to speak about this on your show this was the craziest thing to happen to me while being locked up and survived

6. wait… wont the ics melt and the fan fall in the melted ice water??

7. As an Australian who has to deal with peak summer temps exceeding 45°C, I made a smaller version of that when I was 13 out of a baby formula tin, a PC case fan, and a bunch of AA batteries, hot air gets blown through metal (ideally copper) pipes inside the ice, and gets cooled to levels that can outperform a traditional AC unit (of course mine was only good enough to cool down my bedroom, and I needed to make 5 of them and run them all at the same time to make it happen, and it only lasted about 10 minutes, but hey, you take what you can get

   Anyhow, here's the build guide (this can also be scaled up to something the size of your prison AC unit, or bigger)

   1: cut a hole in the bottom of the tin equal to the diameter of your pipe or combination of pipes

   2: run coils of large copper pipes going through the tin, keeping in mind that
   more pipe surface area = more cooling power but less runtime
   less pipe surface area = more runtime at the cost of cooling power
   Make sure all the pipes meet about 2-3cm below the top of the tin roughly under where the fan will be (placement isn't that important as long as they are above where you will fill it with water) and run the other end of the pipe/s out the bottom of the tin and apply a liberal amount of sealant (ideally low temperature sealant) and wait for it to cure

   3: cut a hole in the lid (usually plastic) and glue a PC case fan over it (the higher the RPM the better) and if you want, apply some sealant around the fan too

   4: fill the tin with water about 1cm below the pipes and freeze it overnight (or longer if you have those giant 5KG tins)

   5: put the fan lid on top and connect the fan to a power supply (I used AA batteries, but a car battery, laptop battery, or 12V wall adapter will work too)

   6: enjoy the cool air
   mine used the smaller 1KG tins, and was full of coils for max cooling power, on a blistering summer day of 40°C, it would run for about 10-15 minutes before the air started warming up

   Though the summer when my dad bought me 2KG of dry ice was amazing, for the whole day, my bedroom was colder than the living room with all 5 of my contraptions running at the same time on a combination of water, water ice, and dry ice (was kinda hard to breathe in there though)

8. If only he knew how gelico turned out

9. i love those fans. i bought two and used them as foot rests for the summer for when i used to be hardcore pc gamer … keeps feet nice and dry and keeps blowing wind in face because you can point them up and rest feet on them at same time

10. GELICO😐…. You know.

11. How can that not be considered cruel & inhumane punishment?!

12. I guess he has never been to Mexico real Mexico they have Ben doing this for years in my dirt poor town

13. How do you get ice in prison😐 mostly toilet water is what you can get

14. You gotta do a saltwater lighter soon. Made with a soup package and shower shoes, seasoning bottle and a couple of paperclips. Or how bout making some real liqueur from some pruno with your hotpot.

15. Love the show brother.

16. Fuck gelico

17. I like your channel a lot jail but global warming is a bunch of liberal horseshit but for all I know being from Virginia you might be a commie leftist to LOL

18. Add water and salt. The salt will allow the water to drop below freezing. While the water evaporates it'll cool more. Don't add too much water as to submerge the fan.

19. We used to call that a Polish AC

20. I have a loved one in a Texas Prison without AC.

21. starts at 6:50.
    Before that he just rants

22. It looks more like E.T. than A/C

23. If you got lucky you will not die when fan fall in watter after 3hours. Good luck

24. Just want to tell you i am really impressed by your strength to turn your life around. I to live in Virginia. I have never been in jail or prison but we probably have friends in common. I love your videos. Keep up the great work.

25. this is basically a swamp cooler, they use them low humidity homes like in arizona, if you use them a humid state, your house will be so humid your house thermostat will say 75 degrees, but your body will feel like 85 degrees

26. 389000 views please tell me that somebody knew that it was a fan with a wet towel in front of it please tell me somebody new that

27. I'm subscribed to Arabian conjure she will help you with love money Health luck protection anything you need will see you there

28. …..administration knows this….they broke down way to convienantly in my book…..just another way to cut corners in human "warehouse"!!!….

29. ……if you wanna take it to extreme,…… Just look at "George Floyd"!!!…THIS MENTALITY…"of good guy bad guy….is ripe for revolution……only way humanity progressives….

30. Your right about ice machine….they had bigass oldschool ice machines in midstste correctional facility…circa 2000-2004….times of changed though….one dude left his pepsi in there like his "own" personal cooler!!.. Stickin his dickbeaters in there…he got lumped up moved off dorm real quick!!😌

31. Prison wouldnt be that bad if you could leave

32. 👍🏻🥵🏫

33. In Texas our prisons get to about 130 degrees in the summer, and there is no ice

34. Did this guy just instruct me to put an electrical appliance in a bucket of water??

35. I used to live in a trailer years ago and one summer the AC broke and it was close to hundred degrees and I had no money for a few weeks because of no jobs because of Obama and I did make something very close to this setup but I found that as long as you have a fan and a large spray bottle I could stay pretty cool. All I had to do was spray myself with the water and let the fan dry it from my skin and repeat as necessary and you could put ice water in the spray bottle too and it worked even better.

36. Run cool water over your wrist

37. Yes it is 3 men to a cell on top bunk 105 at. Night saws all over my face and back only way I got cool was going to church that's was ac that k god litterly

38. gahd damn that fan is quiet

39. It's Absolutely Disgusting that the Richest country that claims to care so much about Human Rights, & Demands that other countries do better about Human Rights, treats it's Incarcerated Citizens worse than Animals In an Animal Shelter!
    "Well they shouldn't have broken the law and they wouldn't be in Prison/Jail"! No! That is NO EXCUSE to treat Human Beings like Trash! This country needs Criminals, there are whole cities and towns that Survive on it's Residents working at the Local Prison/Jail ! !

40. So… a swamp cooler? lol

41. Brilliant resourcefulness!

42. I’m guessing you can’t fall asleep with that thing on because When the ice melts the fan motor will get wet.

43. If you pour salt on your ice it will last longer.

44. Joe you're that spot this someone looks down to see when the Junie cakes are spread

45. Global warming is a libtard hoax

46. Damn man, that neck-beard tho
