Well, his homebrewed air conditioner would be more efficient than your stupid idea of leaving the freezer door open. Why? Because his homemade a/c removes net heat from the room. Keeping your freezer door open creates an endless cycle for the refrigerator and wastes more energy because the compressor has to stay on all the time to circulate the same air, and the air stays at the same net temperature.
However, I do question the efficiency of wasting so much water and ice when a 9.7 eer air conditioner costs only $70.00 and costs approx $30.00 a summer. The fan probably costs 7 bucks to run(1/4 the amps of an air conditioner thus 1/4 power).
I SERIOUSLY HOPE YOU WERE JOKING
