[ausev] !12-Volt Ice cooling with a Icester by Swampy.

[michael]

Ahhh.... I see.. I used to work at the Texas Renaissance festival, and
used to push an ice-cream cookie cart around, we use the dry ice to keep
the ice cream cold in the push carts, work for that purpose, so It only
made sense to me... oh well.. how about liquid nitrogen?  hehehe

They pump ice cold water thru the a/c unit.
W/ only dry ice there would be nothing to pump.

If you mix water with the dry ice, the water accelerates the melting of
the
dry ice and you get the fog.  Ive played with dry ice a lot at my
Halloween
parties and the water never seems to get really cold.
