I read and reread etc the "Going Home" Series by Angery American.
In one of them the people are so hot in the summer with no air conditioning. They ask the main guy - Morgan, if he had some idea of how to cool the houses some.
He said he had read of taking 2 liter plastic bottles and inserting them into a framework with bottoms to outside and necks in the house. Sounded as if the bottom of the bottles was removed. So, the framework would go in a window similar to a window a/c unit. The hot air would blow across the larger opening on the outside and would be cooler air going inside.
In the book, it would drop the inside temp by about 10 degrees.
Has anyone heard of such a thing? Has anyone even tried to build one?
