Does help, lot of information.
I got this when I was having trouble with my Air Conditioner and I wanted to cool my den a little to make it more comfortable in the late afternoon. I have a fairly large freezer and so freezing the aluminum cans and plastic bottles as described was no problem and using them with my small turbo fan did work a lot better than just using the fan alone. I usually get about a cup full of water in the tray. This is a short book but does have a lot of information and pictures.
