To make an air conditioner with a fan and ice, place a bowl of ice in front of a room fan. As the fan blows air over the ice, it cools down and circulates chilled air around the room. For an optimal setup, use a foam cooler filled with ice, cut a hole for the fan, and direct the cooled air out through another hole. This DIY solution can effectively reduce room temperature during hot days.
