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 hate to rain on this parade, but have you ever noticed that some air conditioners are rated in “tons?” A one ton a/c provides as much cooling as the melting of one ton of ice in an hour. A bucket full of ice would be maybe 30-50 pounds. That would provide an insignificant amount of cooling power.
Please don’t waste your money on this. The theory of A/C and Refrigeration is the transfer of heat out, not pumping of cold air in. Since you have to use ice from your refrigerator (which has added heat to your kitchen), this is no different than leaving your freezer door open. Same useless effect.

I used a minnow bucket for the liner but don’t waste your time this does not work!
These aren’t made to keep a room cool unless you live in a closet.
Under a desk or beside a bed, WITH a strong enough fan, they are better than nut sweat! 😀
