No, the ice made in the freezer is NOT free. When you put water in the freezer, the heat must be removed from the water to produce ice. The compressor runs a lot longer while this heat is being removed, thus spinning the electric meter more.

 I should invent a way to run my household electrical load using one of my diesels when the power goes out in the winter and hear all the negative comments about that..... oh wait, I already did. A metal plate bolted to the car, 6000w gen head, a belt, and an 10 gage wire to the fuse panel, bump the idle, port the exhaust and IVE GOT POWER.... I should quit all this tinkering and start TWITTERING like the rest of you... Got any BTU BS for that one???

THE WORLD'S FIRST COOLING SPRAY
Scientists at France Med (UK) have successfully formulated the world's first and only, safe, atomised instant cooling spray. Magicool a British invention (Patent No EP 0 673 403 B1), described as "your very own personal air-conditioning system in a can", is selling in Boots and leading chemists this summer. The spray cools you down instantly anytime... anywhere and cools the air in sun-baked cars. The fine spray applied from a light portable canister is completely safe, non-toxic, non-flammable, free from CFC and alcohol. It is safe to use on the face and skin and will not discolour fabrics. The spray cools the body by reducing the skin temperature without causing cold shock or discomfort. The spray is based on a unique world-wide patented technology which uses a combined process of refrigeration and evaporation. The refreshing water-based spray is delivered almost free from chemicals and is always cool even if the canister is left to stand in hottest weather. The spray's temperature and pressure are consistent, maintaining a high quality, fine cool spray every time. The above distinguishes Magicool from water only sprays, currently available on the market, such sprays are hot when the weather is hot and because it is propelled by compressed gas, the quality of the spray deteriorates during usage from a mist to a coarse spray. The spray contains a non-toxic coolant / propellant and demineralised water. When the spray is activated the coolant rapidly turns to gas, expands and disappears after absorbing the latent heat of transformation from the water and the surroundings. The fine spray of cool water lands on the skin providing effective cooling, then slowly evaporates in warm ambient to further cool the skin or surface and to provide a longer lasting cooling effect. Magicool is ideal for hot days and muggy nights for both adults and children, for those practising sports, outdoor pursuits and work-outs, for spectators, holiday makers, sun-bathers and clubbers. It is particularly useful when entering sun-baked cars, by cooling the hot air and hot surfaces. The spray has important medicinal applications subject to obtaining the appropriate pending medicinal product licences. A Clinical Trials Exemption CTX was obtained from the MCA (No 13473/0001/A) for prevention and treatment of Heat-stroke, Sun-stroke, Heat Exhaustion, treatment of fever in adults and children and febrile convulsions in children, treatment of minor burns, sunburn, prickly heat condition, itchy skin etc. Products in Magicool range include:

For your info Doc Sarvis I came on here asking for info about the ins and out of of the evap. (check the thread) and all I got was shots across my bow by crotchedy old goomers that only know 1 way to do something. And that if your opinion differs, you are automatically wrong.
This is a Forum....look up the definition. This should be a place to discuss ideas freely... All I was asking for was ideas how to cool a $300 car with 330k+ miles without doubling my $$ in the car and there were some good ideas and then there were guys like you that only read what you agree with and the rest is foolishness because its a new idea or different. Telsa would be be proud of you.

Lots of flames here, and some smoke. Personally I enjoyed this thread. Ingenuity is the mother of invention. Would love to see some pictures of the completed project. Its a shame there had to be flames and smoke, but that happens a lot around here.

Your post is difficult to follow, but working through to the last sentence, it sounds as if you are stating that my post you quoted was BS. I PROMISE you that putting a five gallon bucket of water in your freezer to make ice will INDEED increase your electric bill and will not produce ice for FREE. The ice will be less expensive than if you bought it at Seven Eleven, but it won't be free. How is that BS? After your response to Doc I went back and perused this entire thread. MOST of the posters, most especially rrgrassi, were being open minded and helpful in your search for opinions and information. Some of the posters, including myself, did some related hijacking regarding auto evaporative coolers and aircraft items that help relieve extreme heat. Other posters, again including myself, were providing some information based on facts. I don't think ANYONE who posted any facts were flaming you. Rather they were pointing out information for your consideration. NOW, if you want to call people names like "crotchety old goomers," then you need to be prepared for a change in tone of the responses you are getting.

What is deep freeze?
Nothing is free, but if the person who owns it lets you use it, it may give you no out of pocket cost. Which is great! Take pictures of the cooler, plumbing, and a thermometer at the vent, I am interested in seeing the whole thing work.

I still wish you had used the heater core instead. 75 at the vent won't get you much cooling.
