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.

I am a professinal hvac technician… If you attemp to make this contraption you are an idiot.. If you have already made it.. Im sorry you wasted precious hours off your life… The principles of air conditioning are to not only cool the air in the occupied space but also to dehumidify it.. With this contraption the melting and evaporating ice will actually ADD humidity to the air.. It may feel cool if ur sitting in a chair not moving and its blowing directly on you.. But in the long run people air conditioning system are very complex sophisticated machines designed by engineers and scientist who get paid alot of money for their knowledge and expertise.. So i think they may know a little more then the unemployed retard who thought this up..
Doesn’t cost 15 dollars
These do not work the fan doesn’t get enough air flow in through the bucket
