What you need to make the air conditioner

After you have all the objects to make the air conditioner at hand, here is the procedure to make it, which to tell the truth is very simple.
How to proceed
Building the air conditioner cheaply and in a short time is easy, here’s what you need to do:
- With the toilet paper roll, draw 3 circles on the plastic container;
- Cut out the circles with the cutter, so that they remain empty;
- Once you have the three holes, insert the first piece of pipe into one and seal the edges with glue;
- Perform the same procedure with the other 2 pieces of pipe, taking care to seal the edges well.
Now take the hose and place the end in a place opposite to where the previous hoses were inserted. Draw the diameter drawing with the marker and remove the inner plastic part with the cutter. At the end of the hose, roll up some electrical tape and insert it into the hole you just got. Also seal these edges with glue to prevent air from leaking.
Take an empty plastic bottle, cut it in half and finish the part with the cap well with scissors. Drill two opposite holes with an awl, then remove the plug and screw the mouth to the hose, on the side left free. Seal the mouthpiece with electrical tape, wrapping it two turns to prevent them from coming off.
With a plastic strip, hook the bottle to the fan, inserting it into the two holes you have made and stopping it with the closure. Cut off the extra parts of the strip that are useless. Now the air conditioner is ready to be put into operation, here is what you need to do.
