Would like to build an air conditioner and a refrigerator (not fan-over-ice). DIY

I confess that I earned a mechanical engineering degree, and while I could pass tests about the mathematics behind AC and refrigeration, I never truly “got” the practical side of these devices- I’m assuming that the components don’t actually look like two-dimensional rectangles. That’s something that really bothers me. I noticed that both air conditioners and refrigerators share some major components: compressor, condenser, evaporator. I thought I could deepen my understanding if I could build each of these devices from scratch. I must have searched online for 20 hours on AC alone, and mostly I just found the cooler/ice/fan thing. Where could I find DIY instructions on building an actual AC and refrigerator? It’s strictly for my own understanding of how the components actually connect and work, and I don’t mind spending money on it. It’d probably be a better value than my Fundamentals of Air Conditioning Systems class was.
