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:
This is so creative. I’m trying to stay off air conditioning this year and I definitely want to try this one and the other one you showed. Great idea – for those of us who don’t have money to waste on air conditioning.
And the energy it takes to create that huge chunk of ice costs about the same as an A/C over time.
jonnypinaz the fridge/freezer is running all the time anyways so it will not take that much more energy, and you can fill 2 liter bottles and keep re-freezing them to conserve water, may make sense?
Jaysen McFarland or this variation 🙂 we’ve got plenty of coolers!
For $400 this is a waste of time!

Made one! Air that comes out is only slightly cooler than the room air….waste of time and money
I really wish people would quit posting these stupid things, the physics just aren’t there.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_of_refrigeration. Good
Kerry Kishbaugh, where do you think the heat you remove from the water to freeze it goes when you put it in your freezer? Right back into your “conditioned” space. You’ll never remove enough heat to do anything with these things.
