Summer weather is heating up, so you know just how important keeping cool can be.
We found this great money-saving tip to keep you cool: Not only comfort is a factor, in fact every year people die due to heat. Keeping even a small area of your home cool in toasty summer weather can be very expensive if you use your air conditioner. Instead, this simple air conditioner, an easy DIY project cools down a small area, and can be made in just a few minutes out of simple parts.
This is a great way to re-purpose a few parts that you probably already have laying around. Check out the full video & how-to after the jump:
Don’t waste your time or your cooler….even with a high powered fan.

this, as i’ve pointed out in all versions of the same thing, is a BAD IDEA. Air conditioners REMOVE moisture from your air. This ADDS moisture to your air. So you are now using a mold creator to fill your house. It also makes the air so humid, it’s going to screw with the electronics in your house. stay away at all costs. save your money. buy an air conditioner.
It’s not a true swamp cooler genius. A swamp cooler needs a medium which water is moved over and the fan sucks air through. But yeah, not the greatest idea for in the house for regular use. For a shop or camping it works decent, but no competition for a REAL swamp cooler
I did this and it works
But use old items except the fan, about $25 total

We run one window unit in the bedroom since we both work all day, and keep the central AC off. Our electric bills are dirt cheap, and the bedroom is ice cold.
