If you created a pressure vessel somehow, that could create ice at a higher temperature by increasing the pressure. There is actually a temperature and pressure where you can get water to be in all three phases (ice, liquid, and steam) at the same time. If you are going to go ahead and get a device capable of making ice at room temperature, I say, shoot for the gold. Try to find a device capable of producing the "triple point". Practically speaking, to make ice at room temperature (without a freezer or similar device), you would probably need equipment that would be even more complex, heavy, expensive, and just not practical. I mean, McGuyver might be able to come up with a way that wouldn't be as difficult, but that's why he got his own show, and I stick to Yahoo Answers. One easy step toward creating ice would be to dig a hole 3-4 feet deep. I believe at that depth, it is pretty much about 50 deg. Fareinheit all year round. So by putting water in the hole you could cool it some (assuming you cover the hole so that the air doesn't warm it up) and get a little closer to ice. But I don't know what way would work to take it from water at ~50 deg F to ice. As I continue to think about it, you might be able to do something with running the water through a special pipe or something, but I'm not sure enough about the mechnics of that to give a detailed

Any endothermic chemical will give you coolness but I do not know about making ice.
Certain salts, for instance, take heat from its surroundings when undergoing transformation. Ammonium Chloride, when dissolved in water it takes heat from the water to dissolve. This is one example of an endothermic reaction.
Therefore, to cool surroundings, you will need a lot of NH4Cl to dissolve in H2O.. What you are asking is not practical though.
You can easily go to a river or flowing water in a northern part of the America where the water is cool (about 50F). You can keep your beer bottles and wine bottles immersed in there until power returns. Well, about keeping meat from spoiling...? when you have cool beer who needs beef?

SET IT (water) OUTSIDE, WHEN IT GETS BELOW 32 YOU HAVE ICE!

well if its really cold out (32 degrees or below).. then u can just put water outside. :-)... or.. go to a store and buy some..

You should buy ice, becuase it's very hard.
Bye!
