What a great idea... ;)
Yep, natural born busnut if I ever saw one...

He's a busnut orphan waiting to be found.

Well, maybe a potential busnut but he would have to ask a lot of questions on this board first. Did you notice that there is no return to the a/c, just drawing in outside air? I don't think it will last very long.

That can't help his gas mileage.
Carefull, this is going to spark another debate over which is better: Roof air or trunk air.
Wish I could find my photo of a redneck A/C. Pickup truck with the A/C thru the back window and a genset in the bed of the truck.

I'm trying to figure out how he has a big enough alternator to supply a window A/C unit and still run everything else in the car. Even an F-350 only has a 130 amp alternator and I suspect a car is a fair bit smaller.
I was wondering about that too (amp draw). But those small 5,000 BTU window units have a fairly small amp draw. Maybe the small stock alternator is enough for it.
I noticed the lack of a return on it as well... It seems that would have a negative effect on cooling as well as working the unit pretty hard. Oh well.. I'm definitely no A/C expert so most of what I'm saying is just a guess.
Maybe he is usig the blower motor on his car ac as a return!!! ;D I couldn't resist ::)!!!
