I'd consider myself a redneck, a good ol southern boy. Now I'm not one to say "Hey ya'll watch this." ... well not anymore. But I'm a member of that group of guys that will find a way to fix it, make it work, or just see what will happen. Myself and the guys I'm around all have shops and all tinker in the shop and sometimes come up with some really clever stuff ... sometimes it's really stupid.
But while surfing around I can't help but see some redneck technology, and frankly some of it is really ingenious. So while a lot of people make it a sport of slamming and insulting rednecks, I can't help but see the hidden genius in many of these folks and I know a lot of them.
They have a problem and they find a solution and fix it, often in the most unconventional way and while some of the may not look like the sharpest tool in the shed, never judge a book by it's cover.
There is some hidden genius in them there hills, hollers, swamps, etc. ...
The GRILL POOL HEATERThe POOR MAN A/C UNITA guy takes copper tubing wrapped in a spiral around both sides of an electric fan. The tubing is connected (via cable ties) to an aquarium pump which circulates ice water held in a plastic storage bin beneath the fan. The fan then dispenses the cold into the room.

It's not a motor, it's a grill.
