1. A portable air conditioner for cooling an air temperature outside of the portable air conditioner comprising:

  • a. A reservoir;

    i. said reservoir further comprising a sealed container for storing chilled matter, said matter having a temperature that is lower than the air temperature outside of the portable air conditioner;

    said reservoir further comprising a top surface area, a bottom surface area, and an outer surface area said bottom surface area further comprising a thermally conductive material;

    b. A power source;

    c. A motorized airflow generator coupled to said power source;

    d. An air duct;

    said air duct further comprising;

    i. an air intake chamber;

    ii. an exhaust chamber;

    iii. a central chamber;

    1. said central chamber further comprising a top area;

    2. said central chamber located between said air intake chamber and said exhaust chamber such that the top area of said central chamber includes the bottom surface area of said reservoir;

    e. said motorized airflow generator coupled to said air duct;

    f. said motorized airflow generator such that when said airflow generator receives power from said power source, the airflow generator generates an airflow that originates from outside of said portable air conditioner and flows into said air intake chamber;

    g. said airflow having a temperature and continuing in motion such that said airflow may come in contact with said bottom surface area of said reservoir such that if said bottom surface area has a temperature that is less than the temperature of the airflow then the bottom surface area reduces the temperature of said airflow;

    h. said airflow continuing in motion such that said airflow enters said exhaust chamber and is expelled outside of said portable air conditioner.
