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.
Just put a car door in your house, when you get hot just roll down the window. Just as effective.
The ice melts too fast and the fan does not push enough air to cool a room or car
Spent about 40 bucks to make it and barely puts out any cold air. waist of time and money
Would like to hear from more people who tried this. btw….if you prepare for a power outage, you would have already frozen the water in gal jugs. If you keep the freezer shut they will stay frozen. Otherwise, in an emergency, go to the store and get ice….unless they run out also.
does not work

One question. If you are dealing with a power outage, how are you supposed to kook a fan up? Battery operated fans don’t work well in the first place.
The fan is solar powered
