Buy one with 3 cooling pads. (2 sides and 1 in back). Air actually gets cool. Bajaj cools air but has leaking issues. Try Kenstar.

I bought a Bajaj Shield... Two of my rooms are cool because of it.. Saves money.. Saves the environment and saves me against the bad effects on an AC.

I've spliced in a fan regulator in my cooler to reduce the wind noise and reduce the electricity consumption further lol.

On your nanga badan /s

Joking (or am I), just put those ice cubes in water which you're putting inside the cooler.

The plastic ones become useless post may, the metal ones are fantastic..

Plastic ones I used very extremely noisy and didn't cool one bit post the month of May..

Deets of the cooler??

We used to buy from the local market, no brand..any local shop, get a water submerged motor, double layer the side khas khas shades.. better go for an exhaust than the regular fan..and if possible ask for a speed control regulator ..

Using same cooler

Bro add ice cubes it makes u take a blanket

These room coolers are the best. Just 100 watt consumption in peak May June summers

Oh boy... Is there a sardar joke in here somewhere? 😅

"Ji meh sochya, eh chai break da taym hogya tay, jung noh hold tay daaldo"

Please post this on r/warplaneporn

Squadron Leader Brijpal Singh Sikand, who remained in Pakistani custody till January 1966, rose to become Air Marshal and retired from the IAF in October 1986, having earned an Ati Vishisht Seva Medal in 1978 and a Param Vishisht Seva Medal in 1987.

Bro we're unlucky to have a disgraceful enemy, see their comments on social media, they make fun of our Shaheeds, they mock our flood victims and what not. Whatever the commenter has said here is nothing as compared to what our Indian friends utter.

There’s your answer. ‘’A Professional Air Force’’

Even pakistan claims that they’ve won all wars against india. Lmao

What do the independent third parties believe?

What are the items above the engine at the root of the vertical stabilizer and other centered on the bottom between the fuel pods?

Me and you both!

This.

I mean it's a great ride, video doesn't do it justice. But it ain't the Voyage, or Toro, or Ghostrider...

Love Phoenix but always confused why so many GTA voters put it at #1.

hey! we get a warm day a year!

chiapas regaining best water ride is fantastic. valhalla when* all of the effects work is brilliant, but that asterisk is doing some heavy lifting

I knew in my heart Stardust would likely take best new coaster, but I’m still a bit disappointed AlpenFury didn’t steal it.

Looks like an ALQ-184 jamming pod too. Neat.

Why are the bigger amraams on the wingtip pylons. I never really understood that. Can someone explain?

Story please.

The Red Arrows used them up till 1980.

??

Engine trouble followed by a landing suddenly becomes the same as "surrendering mid-air"? What the heck does that term even mean? Nonsensical caption.

For the full story:

On 3 September 1965, the skies over Pasrur witnessed one of the most remarkable episodes of the Indo-Pak aerial conflict. Squadron Leader Brijpal Singh Sikand of Indian Air Force, while flying a Folland Gnat, came face-to-face with a Pakistan Air Force F-104 Starfighter, piloted by Flight Lieutenant Hakimullah; a young officer who would one day rise to become Chief of the Air Staff. At approximately 1105 hours, the Starfighter engaged with such overwhelming dominance that Sikand, deprived of options, was compelled to surrender in mid-air. In an unprecedented act, he landed his Gnat intact at Pasrur airfield, effectively handing over both himself and his aircraft to Pakistan. Captured as a Prisoner of War, Sqn Ldr Sikand remained in custody until January 1966, when he was released by the Government of Pakistan as a goodwill gesture. Following his return to India, he continued to serve with IAF ultimately attaining the rank of Air Marshal before retiring in October 1986.

The captured Gnat was test-flown by Flight Lieutenant Saad Hatmi, a PAF officer with prior experience on Gnats in the UK, before being moved to Sargodha for detailed evaluation. Preserved thereafter as a prized War Trophy, the aircraft now rests at PAF Museum, Karachi, a powerful symbol of that extraordinary moment and an enduring reminder of the dramatic surrender of 1965.

Arrgggghhhhh Neko is doing so great in this role but I want her to go away! Lol I genuinely feel bad for every character, except Airs mom. She's a C**t!

Yayy! My girl Air mentioned 🎉🎉 She deserves the world and I'll fight for her to get it. If she's a red flag I'm colorblind...

Nah, seriously, I really love Air's character. It gives the series so much depth and complexity and it is sooo well written. It's breaking my heart seeing her realizing it is too late for her and Pure now, just when she got her freedom back... I love Loft, she sweet and sexy and everything, but I hope so hard Air can find someone too 😭😭

I really love Air and I think Neko has done a fantastic job portraying her. I hope she has at least somewhat of a happy ending.

I also adore Air!!!!!! I really feel for her and I want Pure/Air to be happy together!!!

I'm living for Neko's reaction. I can't wait lol

I lived in Arizona for 15 years, and had a house with AC & swamp cooler. I remember every year around July 4th, I would shut down the swamp cooler. Clean and empty the roof unit, and plug all the swamp airways. I had 12 X 12" vents in the ceiling of every room. inside the vent was a very light aluminum flap that would easily push open when the swamp cooler was running. All those got a piece of foam insulation to block them.

I think you're putting too much humidity inside with the swamp cooler. The AC is struggling to dehumidify the inside air. Sometime around October I would restart the swamp cooler.

Also, a programmable thermostat that would kick on the AC an hour or so before I got home. If you don't have one, definitely worth the investment.

I have a whole house swamp cooler. We use it up to 100-102f. Warmer than that and it just can't keep the house cool enough so we switch to ac. Once we start using ac I don't switch back to the cooler until the Temps drop. I don't find it to be worth the effort to switch back and forth constantly and I'd rather not yoyo the humidity up and down.

Swamp cooler uses far less electricity. Like 1/20th.

So you want to use it as much as you can stand, then switch to AC when the humidity gets too high or the temp gets too high.

Whatever results in the lowest possible AC run hours while keeping you comfortable is going to be the most efficient.

Typically running the swamp cooler is going to flush out all your dry air and replace it with humid air though. Do you have roof vents to the outside in all your rooms? A lot of ac efficiency is going out those, but they are necessary for a swamp cooler to work.

I always thought it was better to keep your temperature at one constant value. If you set it from 86 to 80 for example, not only does the system have to cool the air but also the surfaces of the home. That is why it takes so long to drop those 6 degrees.

If it were me, I would just keep the setting to what you want it to be 24/7. In the AM your home is cool and below your temp setting. I think your A/C is going to have a much easier time keeping a cool home cool then trying to get a hot home cool.

It takes energy to condense the water out of the air. That's why it takes the AC 4 hours to get from 86 to 80. You are pumping the air full of water when you are running the swamp cooler, and the AC unit has to work cool down that humid air.

Better to give the swamp cooler a break during the hottest part of the year. Rely on your AC.
Go ahead with the programmable thermostat. You will find the house will cool down much faster when the air is dry. Go back to the swamp cooler in the fall when temps don't get so high.

If you're only really concerned about a small area, I currently have 2x 9k Bryant Evolution ductless heat-pumps that heat and cool my entire house. I went with the 1-1 units because they are 42 SEER/ 15.0 HSPF. They are amazing and I have accidently pissed off my wife more than once by setting it to the wrong mode during the summer and us coming home to a house that is 55 degrees.....

I'm not entirely sure how much power overall the units are pulling but damn do they work well.

Our Bosch IDS 2.0 heat pump & air handler combo is 20.5 SEER /10.5 HSPF. There may be more efficient ones but that seemed pretty efficient to me.

I have 4 ton Geothermal system (Climatemaster Tranquaility 27). Nothing quite as cool as the Trilogy 45. My unit is 10 years old. In stage 1 cooling which is about 3tons, it uses 2200 watts of power. When in stage 2 cooling, which is the full 4 tons of cooling it uses 3200 watts. My system is setup for zoning, each floor is its own zone. Geothermal is good because the outside unit is the constant temperature of the earth. The other nice thing is that in the summer, it helps give us free hot water (desuperheater).

The Rheem RP20 could potentially save you some energy in the long run, especially considering your current system's energy consumption. I know it did with mine.

I found a helpful comparison website when I was figuring out my home's energy needs. It laid out the differences between various units and their efficiency. Might be worth checking out
