Let's see. After emptying the beer cooler, and checking that the outer cooler had not exceeded the capacity of either the inner coolor or the intercooler, I decided to compute the power needed for the 5.5 amp ShopVac. Hmmmm. Power equals volts times amps? So, 5.5amps times 120 volts should be the same as 12 volts times 55.0 amps. Where to get the 55 amps? Another alternator? Oh, easy way would be to put two ShopVac things together and let the exhaust make one turn and then the other one would blow into the intake. Been tried before?

Next project - after emptying the beer inner outer cooler again. How to use the heated exhaust manifold to power the air conditioner.

Stay tuned.
