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.
I could have used this last month! Thx
I made this thing and it really doesn’t work very well
You still need power to run it.
This is not an air conditioner and if used indoors will actually make the space hotter (because of the heart coming out of the back of the freezer)
Jesse Grewal this is what I was talking about.
Done it. Not worth the money
Home Depot quit selling the foam liners and then came out with their own version of the entire unit.
If the power is out, how do you run the fan,or you using solar, lol
Based on the original a/C systems back at the turn of the century, old mansion had ice rooms in the basements,
they had ducts running too rooms, big fans to push the cool air up, and ducts to allow stail air back down, hvac contractor for 30 yrs
