Brilio.net - Although the use of AC is increasingly common, many still choose fans as a cooler at home because the operational costs are cheaper compared to AC. However, the cold temperature produced by the fan is not optimal because it only provides a wind effect through air movement, unlike AC which cools the room through the refrigeration process.
It turns out, there is a way to make a fan produce air as cold as an AC. This method was once demonstrated by YouTube user Arie Wicaksono. In his video, he uses one type of kitchen waste to make a fan as cold as an AC.
The fan is as cold as an AC.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Arie Wicaksono on Wednesday (18/12), one of the kitchen wastes used is used beverage bottle packaging. Cut the top of the used beverage bottle packaging using a cutter or knife. Once done, make holes in the front and back. Then attach the pieces of used beverage bottle packaging to the front of the fan.
"I used wire for the hook," said the account owner explaining how to attach the pieces of bottle packaging.

After that, put about 2 to 3 ice cubes into the cut pieces of used beverage bottles. Once done, plug the fan into the electrical power. Press the fan button as usual to turn it on.
"The result is that the wind feels colder," said the video owner.

Because the ice cube is made of aluminum, the water droplets do not fill up and are held inside. No water drips at all, so it does not cause damage to the fan engine.

This video immediately caught the attention of netizens. This is proven, the video has been watched 71 thousand times and liked by 139 other YouTube accounts. There are also netizens who left responses in the comments column.
"Why in front, bro? It should be behind the fan," asked YouTube account Korea6465. Then he answered, "It's more effective, bro."
Powerful tricks to make ice cubes freeze quickly.
To make ice cubes freeze quickly, you can try the following tricks:
1. Use hot water.
Fill the ice maker with hot water from the tap. Hot water has less dissolved oxygen than cold water, which helps the ice freeze faster.
2. Use purified water.
Tap water may contain minerals and other substances that can inhibit freezing. Use purified or distilled water to make ice cubes, as this water is purer and tends to freeze faster.
3. Do not overfill the container.
Fill the ice maker bin about 3/4 full. This gives the ice enough room to expand as it freezes, aiding in the freezing process.
4. Add salt.
Add a pinch of salt to the water before freezing the ice cubes. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing it to freeze at a lower temperature and faster. However, don't add too much salt because it can affect the taste of your drink once the ice cubes are formed.
5. Use a metal container.
Metal containers conduct heat better than plastic or glass containers, which helps the ice freeze faster. If possible, use a metal ice maker container.
By trying some of the tricks above, you can speed up the ice-freezing process and have ice cubes ready to use in less time.
