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 doesn’t work. I made one of these bucket air conditioners. I had the ice and electricity and it didn’t drop the temp one degree.
It works great I a tent. Its a cooler. For cooling. You sit in front of it and get cool. Won’t cool your whole house. Mine work great.
I’m confused, if you have a power outage, where are ya gettin the electricity for da fan?
Thank you jimmy miller!
Solar panel….
I’m so doing this. I Pretty much have everything in the video laying around in my garage.
Except the solar panel
Hey Kevin Sanders. You think Thomas N Jessica Mclaughlin could get this one to cool his garage?
Well if there is a power outage how does the fan work? idiots
