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.

if its a power blackout wer would u get power to run the fan
you still have to freeze water–how do you do that when the power is out?
Im assuming this is for when you have power, but no air conditioner.i have hot flashes at night, my husband made me one of these with a small styrofoam cooler…next to my bed facing me…it works great! ..and i just use frozen milk jugs too….dry ice isnt readily available…so ice is good…
nice hint. amazing its on a site with a bias like that.
It don’t work. Tried it here while back. Maybe if the holes were drilled lower it may work.
How do uyou run a fan during power blackout??
