came across this homemade air conditioner

Cool video. Would be cool for a shits and giggs science project with the kid or grandkid, but no one should make this to try and cool a tent or whatever. It will not work due to the first law of thermodynamics; that is, the total energy of an isolated system always remains constant.

I assume you'd need to split the parts of the system up so the cold generating is isolated from the heat given off, like a mini split ac.
The amount of energy (heat) required to produce the cold air is equal to the amount of cold air it produces, so the net temperature difference is 0 degrees if they are not separated from one another.

Yes, I agree
