Turn a fan into an air conditioner by creating a DIY cooling system. Place a bowl of ice water or frozen water bottles in front of the fan. As the fan blows air over the ice, it cools and humidifies the air, mimicking the effect of an air conditioner. Remember to replace the ice as it melts for continuous cooling.
