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.
O HOW I NEED THIS ……
Where is the video?
wonder if anyone is trying this out during their power outage tonight?

The laws of thermodynamics clearly show that this just spends energy to perform no work, unless you buy the ice from outside your house. The heat energy has to go somewhere. Do you think that ice grows on a tree?

Julio Ramos …lol
It will not work .
You can use bagged ice OR freeze a 1 gallon jug of water, provided you have the extra freezer space to use inside of the unit, fill with water about a 1/4 way up and the fan will do the rest, the most important part is the 5 gallon bucket cooler.
Ummm don’t you still have to have electricity to run the fan?
