how can you use a fire to cool an ice chest?
968366
Put evaporator coils connected to an ammonia absorption-type refrigerator in the ice chest. Build a fire to run the refrigerator.

How far below?\n\nWater has quite a high thermal conductivity value.  Depressing the freezing point can be obtained by adding a salt, such as table salt (sodium chloride) or even calcium chloride.  Maple Leaf Gardens (the old NHL hockey arena in Toronto, Ontario) use to use a brine (salt water) solution in the cooling system to keep the ice frozen.\n\nIf you weren't worried about corrosion, you could try a brine (saturated salt solution) in your cooling system.  Water has a thermal conductivity of approximately k=5 to 6 mW/cm/K (relative to carbon tetrachloride or toluene being close to 1 and still able to go well below 0C/32F and remain liquid).  (CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry...do your own unit conversions)\n\nDon't let the brine leak though....

there is a couple ways to do it. the first one is to insert the ice in a ice-chest and add salt around the ice the other option is to buy dry ice try to cover the regular ice with a plastic or with something to keep the regular ice separate from the dry ice and the dry ice around the plastic this would help to keep the ice cube frozen

Whewwww, makes me hot and cold at the same time just thinking about it, good question though. Probably freezing, it would take longer but the idea of my flesh burning off is kind of disgusting. Guess the smoke from the fire would kill me first, but not factoring that into the equation.

Water puts out ice because it covers up the fire from breathing in oxygen (which it needs).\n\nIf the water coming from the ice comes out by little tiny streams, the fire could easily evaporate that into vapor or just ignore the little stream of water.\n\nIf somehow the ice melted instantously into water and covered up the entire fire, then it could be possible.

striking rocks to light a spark=fire=light\n\nor you keep twisting a stick on a rock until it burns then you put the burned stick onto a handful of soft hay. after, you breathe on it lightly since the CO2 from your breath with make the fire/spark grow into a fire

you need 3 things for fire, spark, oxygen and something to burn.  If you add water, you cut oxygen then, you have no fire

Mine's gotta be ice - I absolutely love the cold! Fire doesn't really appeal to me (I hate the heat - even from a warm oven, or a burning fireplace). Besides, ice can be scuplted into different shapes (which just proves how incredibly versatile it is).\n\nFire on the other hand is just a flame licking all over the place, burning with passion and searing with heat.\n\nThat of course, is not to say that I'm a cold hearted guy with an icy stare. I just like the ice... =p

DONT make a fan out of paper...it doesn't work because while your fanning yourself, your just making your blood cells rush and make you hotter. get naked. haha...well i suppose it would help. get a bag of ice and place it in different areas of your body.\n\nps im hot too its like 90 freakin degrees!!!

If you want to make a "cloud effect", you can use dry ice.\n\nWhat are they, how to get them, and how to handle them, see the link

put a heating pad on it, or use icy hot.

Use ice to chill it, or put it in the freezer, then rub with ice. Pick at it gently. Keep icing as you work.

HEY CORA! Long time no logging in on Yahoo Answers. I think cold water puts out a fire faster.

Get a couple of fans and make a "wind tunnel" effect, to move air thru your room, and not just push it around.  By pulling air from another room, you should be able to cool down yours.\n\nI found that putting a bowl (metal works best) of ice in front of a fan will cool things down until the ice melts.

NO!\n\nMilk and other stuff (some say butter) is BAD for burnings.\n\nIf its only a small one then cool it with ice... that helps for sure.\nAnd make sure you only cool it...

We don't have a fireplace, but we do keep the traiditon.  From last year's tree, we take a nice chunk of the thickest part of the trunk and drill holes in it to fit candles. We burn those rather than the log itself.\n\nWe don't let them burn all night, though - leaving candles burning while you sleep isn't al that good an idea.\n\nSome of our Pagan friends keep an outside bonfire going all night, and we plan to do that sometime in the future; gather a group and go up to the local mountains and keep vigil aroud the bonfire.

dry ice in water will simulate a boiling effect as the ICE returns to gas .If you are camping in an ice region a can of sterno and calapseable stove wont melt ice and an aluminum pan heats water very fast and efficiently .but if I am not hitting the mark it's due to the lack of info in the querry given .
