Pending on Location and Time of year permitting yes. Most of the time they raise the price to about $125 during the summer. Like now... Yes. You can find 5000 BTU air conditioners for under $100.00 at Home Depot. Would this AC fit the bill for what's being described here? (a unit that recirculates i...

Lol I dont understand how your saying portable ACs are less trouble.... There twice as heavy as window units. require twice as much setup and take down. And no one ever said they needed to be high off the ground mounted on the yurt... that would be impossible. Set them on a crate or some 2x4s. Cut a...

rebar deff seems like the better solution for long term use. I don't see lag bolts lasting longer then rebar.

Fuck. I'm fucking god damn ready to leave. Even though I'm totally under fucking prepared. <3

Ehh I think I'm a go with rebar. More work but easier on the wallet.

So whats everyone's recommenced lag length? Could I get away with 3/8" 8"?

just measure each connection(where roof panels meet, where wall panels meet) then the tension ring around the top (connects roof to top of wall) then around the bottom (tape tarp to outside bottom of wall) If you havent pretaped then measure each board at every side because all walls, roof pieces, ...

Bought some 3" Bi-Filament tape. How many Yards do the stretch hex-yurts use?

Possible to build a yurt from these? http://www.lowes.com/pd_15355-1278-3/4X48X96+R-TECH_1z11pq2+2z8vi+2z8vk+2z8vl__?productId=50100626&Ns=p_product_price|0&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_price%7C0%26page%3D1&facetInfo=$1%20-%20$5|$10%20-$15|$15%20-%20$25 or http://www.lowes.com/pd_40838-10477-1...

So fig I built my cooler which cost me about 47 bucks for everything and I'm seeing about a 15 degree difference with a thermometer. Will it work better in dry conditions when things are like 90% humidity like it is in florida lol. I know they work buy putting moisture into the air right?

Fig how do you keep your pads from sagging?

That has to be a waste of time and money, spend both of those on making sure u have good, plentiful shade . If you're going to go thru all that trouble and expense, might as well build a yurt. No need to try and re-engineer the wheel, it's been done for you! No way to transport a yurt from Florida ...

The topic has the basic idea. I want to insulate the inside of a tent so that my AC and my Swamp Coolers will be more effective. I'm not expecting anything to be perfect. I just want to Aid in the process of keeping coolness in and hotness out. At least enough to sleep a few extra hours in the morni...

Cool Ill try it out when I get all the parts and put it together. Ill also post the pictures in specs for other to learn from my mistakes.

Hey GreyCoyote Do i only need to put those diodes running on the positive side or both pos and neg side?

Its easy and cheap to drop the voltage from 12 volts. Silicon diodes have a 0.7 volt drop across the junction. Most 12 v batteries actually put out about 12.6 volts. So put three diodes in series (3 x 0.7v = 2.1 volts) with the power lead for a 2.1 volt drop. Easy peasy. For extra bonus points, thr...

No! Start here.

Im not gonna s...

Fig please pm me this cheap 12v pump.... Cause i paid 15 for mine.... Thats the cheapest i could find.

The pump is a small solar pump. Yes Cheap. Yes from China. Super small 2" by 2" and runs on 4.5-10v DC. I have a small 12v 17ah battery I wanted to use.

Using this combination in a swamp cooler. Are there any risks? I was planning on using ice in the cooler so that would maybe help the heat from the over voltage... I just wanted someone else 2cents. Thanks!

what would be the risk of running a small 10v water pump on a small 12v 17ah battery?

Yup I see. Well... We will see what happens. These pumps are like toys lol. There like 2" by 2". Can't believe how small they are but are actually decently powerful. I will post pics when I get the rest of the supplies in the mail. I.E. = Dura cool pads and 10w DC fans. Took forever to find a 10w DC...

So after doing some small testing runs I have concluded that my small pumps working with 100% direct sunlight and 100% on the motor with the supplied solar cell is getting around 30-35GPH.

Well fuck.... Cause I bought these... Two of them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CL6TKHU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4.5-10v (Solar Panel is 7v) Lift height 150cm (59 inches) 200LPH (53GPH) Assuming the 150cm lift and 200LPH were at 10v.

How many GPH or LPH would be necessary for effective cooling?

Are these more effective when you treat outside playa air? Or inside Yourt,Tent,Van
