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 doesnt show what kind of refrigerant or coolant to use….
He’s using ice to cool it.
If you have a power outage, this won’t help you.

Unless you used a generator when the power went out, but then if I was using a generator I would just hook up the damn air conditioner to the generator.
Posted this a while back.you need to use dry ice and a 12 volt fan.for all the people that say it wont work…. it does work we use it ….but not for power outages.but when we go camping….
Never tried dry ice buy with regular ice it’s a waste of money. You can order the bucket cooler from home depot online.
