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.
made one.. it sucked
You must have put the fam in backward
You must have put the fan in backward
I used a foam cooler and had 4 gallons of frozen water in it. Cut the TWO holes out using a solo cup so they could be shoved back in and still used as a cooler. Used a pie tin pattern to cut a beveled hole in the top and used a battery operated camping fan. Worked okay, but nothing great. About what I expected.
Worthless when humidity rises.
Just put an ice pack on your balls

Would not work in power black out because you need an electric fan, but other wise, I love it and I have done this for my garage workshop. Works great.
Wasn’t he powering the 12 volt fan with a solar cell or did you miss that.
it works,but better on a closedsmallscale….
