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.
DW Avanti… Any inputs?
What good would this do in a power black out? You can’t make ice or power a fan without electricity.
he powered with a solar panel
can we stop showing this its getting old now please stop showing this summer is almost over with please stop this showing
These don’t work, I fell for it last year, the ice lasts about 15 mins
I made one..you freeze a gallon of water and put the whole thing in the bucket…I had it on the patio and sat in front of it while sun bathing…kept me cool as I was soaking up the sun….and when I was done I put the gallon of water back in freezer to us the next day…
The solar panel used for power will probably cost more than $15…truth indeed.
You can use a battery powered fan. Walmart sales them for under $15.00.
Cool
