Ever had to deal with a power blackout during the hot summer months? Then you know just how important keeping cool can be.
Over on The Good Survivalist we found a great tip to save you money and keep you cool:
Seems every year people die due to heat. Keeping your home cool in the summer can be very expensive if you use your air conditioner. This air conditioner is very simple to make, and can be made in a few minutes if you are handy.Even if you are not handy you’ll be able to make one of these DIY air conditioners. One of the nice things about this air conditioner is that it will give you up to 6 hours of coolness. This thing works so well you may need to put on a sweatshirt! To make one of these babies you need a few simple tools, a couple of 5 gallon buckets, along with a few other items. Everything is shown in the video.
It’s c**p. Assuming you had plenty of ice on hand, how many batteries will it take to run the fan continuously for 12-24 hours. Oh yeah, solar doesn’t work at night!
Had my AC go out in 100 degree heat that took almost a week for repairs. I did this but with a large garbage pail to cool our living room (family of four). Didn’t work until I started to use salt in the ice water, and even then it barely brought the room temp to tolerable levels. After spending money on materials, bags of ice, and salt, I probably only saved a few hundred dollars (not including labor) from just buying a large portable AC that was rated to do the square footage of our living room. If the same thing we’re to happen again, I’d go hit Home Depot and buy a room AC.
I didn’t have much luck.
