I guess the advantage for this gadget it not having to drain the water. Just remove the jug and refreeze. Guess you could do the same with the B-cool system if a jug fits in there (or use ice packs). Not sure I see the advantage to the radiator pump though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that because the water is frozen and sealed in a 2 gallon milk jug there should be no net addition of water to the air blown through the device. If it was just a chunk of ice sitting in the bucket with air blown across it there's no question you would be adding humidity.

I hate to be the guy that just posts YouTube videos on Mooneyspace but I found another one that might be of interest to the group. Using a 5 gallon bucket, some styrofoam, and a small fan this videos creates a device that should cool our airplanes in the summer. They hook it up to a solar panel in the video but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard at all to hook it up to a cigarette lighter. Should save you $350+ over the commercially available ones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxSLbpAwibg

Ran across this on YouTube and thought I would share it. Doesn't look like its been posted here before. Looks like Roy LoPresti's son shared it.

Did you ever do a write up on this? Sounds like an interesting project that many would probably like to replicate.

His engine was still running when they handed him off to the next controller so hopefully it was just a bad indicator. Sounds like Mena's a good place to divert to though.

Long time lurker here but this is my first post. Anyone know who flys N40MJ? I was flying in NE Texas close to the Arkansas border on Monday and hear N40MJ call center and report a loss of oil pressure in flight and had to divert. Wanted to make sure he landed safely.
