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.

We needed this last night when the storm caused a power outage!
Curious, how are you going to power the fan at night with no sun for the solar panel during a power outage?
Susej Lladnek dude you need to try this ive made one before literally one of the best fans ive had
Where can you find the liner for the bucket???
what if you dont have power?
I tried making one Home Depot does not sell the liners any longer I use a slightly smaller fan with a USB solar charger so I drilled smaller air holes it did not work.
