How can I encase a window unit air conditioner for use as a portable or freestanding unit?

I have my eye on a 115v 10,000 btu unit which is affordable (actual portables are not). I have windows in this apartment which do not allow for actual mounting. I am thinking of a styrofoam/ plywood case but i’m not sure about safety and condensation drip. I have been unsuccessful in locating plans online. I am only trying to cool a bedroom. The unit I want will suffice, I just want to insulate against heat and noise as much as possible (withouth the drip ruining the case). The window unit is a LG Electronics 10,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner with Remote Model LWHD1006R.

I’m not intimidated by the project, I just want to make sure I have all the bases covered. I wiss use it approximately 2 months and want it window mountable in the future.

Thanks.

You can’t put an AC free standing in a room, ti has to be able to pull outside air into th cabinet to blow through the condenser coils and discharge back outside. A free standing unit would actually warm the room not cool it when you figure in compressor and motor heat.

hi,im doin a project on an RC car but i dont kno how to find speed and/or torque.can anyone help please?

hi, my name is Jolene, 20, studing aerospace, im using the RC car to create an electromagnetic braking system. i’ve replaced one of the wheels with a metal disc, and 2 electromagnets on either side attached to an aluminium frame( like this ]- | -[ where the brackets are the aluminium frame, line int he middle is the disc and the minus signs are the magnets). it doesn’t seem to work. the feild produced is way too small.i connected one of the solenoid to a car battery but it only seemed to heat. if anyone has any ideas on wat i can do to make the FIELD produced by the electromagnets to stop the disc from rotating please help. if u can, suggest any formulas and other requirements (i.e. weight of the disk, speed of rotation,etc) to make this work.

That sounds quite tricky, the best way to make a brake for an RC car is not electromagnetics but when the brake is applied, short circuit the motor, the current inducted in the motor tries to force it back the other way, slowing it down, this is how electronic speed controllers work, they do it proportionally to stick position though.

I’d try using a steel disc as opposed to ally, being ferrous, it might work a bit better?
