No A/C In Your Car? Check Out This Economical Fix

 

Faced with exorbitant costs to fix a car air conditioner, Scott Dawson was literally left to his own devices.

 

After finding out he would have to pay $1,200 to fix his car’s AC, Dawson, 26, rigged a common household air conditioner to fit on top of his car. The crafty civil engineering graduate from the University of Houston cut a hole in the sunroof to allow the cool air to get in, MyFoxHouston reported.

“I’ll probably stick with this until I get rid of it,” Dawson said.

And that is legal???

 

Wouldn't work around here, due to some low car-park barriers to stop large vehicles getting though.

What would happen in the rain?

And how is he powering it?

 

A car's electric systems runs on 12 Volts DC, whereas mains runs at a higher voltage in AC (UK it's 230V)

he probably has an inverter via the cig lighter, hope he doesn't smoke

 

12v DC -> 230/240v AC
