I spent hours looking for these things back in high school when I was building a water-cooling system for an X-ray something or other machine that Rob Quimby was fixing. <br/><br/>Since pelts were expensive and we had no money, and we found an old air conditioner in the dump and fixed that instead - pried off the case, waterproofed everything but the exposed coils, built some funnels from acrylic, and poured the water across the freezing coils (literally; they iced over) before pumping it back into tubes running through the machine.
