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.
Where do u buy the liners
Come on people! It’s running off a battery being charged by a solar panel. It’s for off-grid, or campers not to cool your 2500 sq/ft home. The temperature coming out is in the low 40’s. It’s just from a frozen gallon of water. Even in high humidity, I’d rather be in front of this blowing 40 degree air on me than a fan blowing 90 degree air.

These are ok if you have a good supply of ice.
Like somebody said above, a fun novelty for camping.
No solar though, bring a battery, you’re gonna want it at night for sleeping!
