DIY Inverter A/C Compressor

An old thread and something Xringer posted on another thread got me thinking. People spend a lot of money on Inverter A/C's but couldn't we Hack a window A/C compressor to do the same thing?

It seems so simple, just buy something like this :Amazon.com: MLCS 9410 20-Amp Heavy Duty Router Speed Control: Home Improvement

Then open up the A/C reconnect the compressor, and maybe the fan too? to the controller and you could run the compressor at any speed you desire. Getting longer run time at lower power or ramping it up when needed.
