Air Conditioning provides the best relief from heat in
either the Humid or Dry Areas of the World. The Dual System of
the MG3 produces Air Conditioning using Ice or Evaporative Cooling
using only Water - your choice!
If you are located in a dry climate consider the Portable MW1 Evaporative Cooling which is easily placed
on a platform you can fashion in front or behind the driver &
passenger with no permanent mounting needed.
In Dry Desert areas the most popular Permanently Mounted Golf
Cart Evaporative Coolers are like the MightyKool MG3 or
the $800+- Cool Breeze®.
Then under Humid Conditions a battery operated Golf Cart Air Conditioner
would be used like the MightyKool MG3 or the $2,300+- Masterflux®.
Using energy from your battery system; the Cool Breeze uses 72 Watts; the Masterflux uses 330
Watts while the MightyKool MG3 uses only 41
Watts. We could not find the BTU rating of Masterflux,
however a Refrigerated system using 330
Watts produces around 4,000+-
BTU. While the MG3 using only 41
Watts produce up to 8,000+- BTU using
Ice & Water.
The MG3 uses Ice Energy instead of Battery Energy to provide 'True'
Air Conditioned Comfort, therefore your Batteries will not let
you down before you finish your rounds. The design as the MG3
looks more like a Hummer than a Corvette as we did not add a superficial
aerodynamic frame as we felt it was more important to provide
easy installation plus keep the 10 pound weight on the top to
a minimum.
Tapping
into 12-Volts is simple as the MG3 uses only 3.4 amps (41
Watts) so that you can even operate it on an inexpensive 12-volt
"Power Station" which comes with a built in charger.
Or you may use a Flexible Cigarette Lighter Receptacle that clamps
onto your Golf Cart battery pack. Both of these items are typically
available at Auto Parts stores, Target, Walmart, K-Mart, etc.
All of the batteries may also produce 12 volts with a proper converter
available at your favorite service/parts dealer.
"My brother and I found the installation process quite
simple and took less than an hour to complete. The only change
we made, was to replace the cigarette lighter end with alligator
clips. We found a slim line ice chest that fit perfectly in the
basket between the back of the seat and the golf bag rack. The
hoses were just the right length to fit our cart. The cooler works
great. We are the envy of all our golfing buddies. I feel you
will be getting some additional order soon. Sincerely M. B."

The 12-Volt 3-speed MG3 uses the
same basic system we have shipped all over the World to individuals
and governments for use in Vehicles, Boats & Aircraft to reduce
Humidity while providing Cold Crisp Air. Swampy Technicians
used this same basic system to develop a Dual System Golf Cart
Model.
The MG3 rises a mere 7 3/4 " in height above the roof &
approximately 4" below the roof. Check out other Specifications
As an example if the ambient temperature on a dry day in the desert were 109 degrees the cool air produced from a well-designed evaporative cooler might be 84+-, however the cool air would be 79+- degrees using the MG3 or MW1 with water only. Under the same circumstances the MG3 would produce 65+- degrees using Ice & Water!
You do not need an enclosure on your Golf Cart to enjoy the cold air produced, although you may if you wish with the MG3. If you are using water only you need some ventilation for Evaporative Cooling.
We furnish all you need except the ice chest, of your choice, that would typically be located behind your seat. Place the pump in the ice chest and plug in the 12-volt cigarette lighter then add a small amount of water and fill with ice, turn the MG3 on & you will feel the cold air in seconds. The water lines to the pump are seven feet long.
All of our Ice Models are capable
of using from 15 to 20 pounds of ice per hour during the heat
of the day when operating it. We began this project in 1995 and
the first models would only use 5 to 10 pounds per hour, which
was not adequate. Now enjoy True Air Conditioned comfort with
the MightyKool MG3!
The method the MG3 uses to produce cold air is possible because of many thousands of hours of engineering and the Power of Ice when used in a properly designed system. The MG3 may be installed by your favorite Dealer or by providing a 7" square hole in the roof that will easily support the 10-pound weight. A key hole saw may even be used to cut the soft top material and you may wish to go up & review the ideas on Tapping into 12-Volts.
One gallon (3.75 liters) of water will last around two
to three hours in the daytime when used for evaporative cooling
in dry desert climates. The MG3 is capable of using up to 20 pounds
(9.0 kilograms) of ice per hour during the day.
A fully charged deep-cycle 105-amp hour battery will last from
50 to 80 hours using a MW1/MW2 MightyKool or 25 to 35 hours
using the MG3 (without charging).
