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 you want to be more comfortable in hot climate remove humidity. .. if its dry use moisture for natural convection (I.e. loose damp cotton scarf round neck to draw heat away from corroded artery)
How does it run if there is a power outage?
I use these in my truck with a fan that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I’ll keep a cooler with some frozen gallon jugs of water, and just drop one in the bucket when I leave the dogs inside the truck. East Texas gets a little warm sometimes.
Emanuel, I prove you wrong daily. Ha ha!
You have to freeze several gallon size water containers, dry ice is very expensive. I will try it myself. If it work then fine, if not no big deal.
Because when the power goes out, the ability to freeze gallon jugs of water does not
He showed the SOLAR PANEL that he uses for this and he just takes the frozen jug out of the “freezer” when the electricity goes out….. Did anyone watch the clip?

How u gonna get ice in an apocalypse
I am real worried about America and how its become common for people to have no coomon sense. Where do you get the ice if you got no solar pannel?
Where do you get a fan
Where do you get the fozen gallon if you got no electricity.
For those folks they should just use a hand fan.
I thought this idea was ingenious, pure smart ifyou ask me.
I am going to make on for each end of the house.
I am going to have my kids paint the buckets.
And i am going to smile all the way to the bank. Because i will be saving tons of money on my electric for all the summers to come.
You know another thing? I like that you can set these anywhere even outside. And you can even make it small for a camper. Thank you smart guy for not charging for the idea.
