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.

Retarded, do you think the ice comes out of nothing? It costs a LOT to freeze buckets full of ice.

It amazes me that people really don’t get how impractical this is…
apparently you’ve never been in a blackout in alabama in july. you would do ANYTHING for some relief. not practical for everyday use but would be a Godsend if you had no power at all during the hottest part of the day. No it wouldn’t cool your house, but sitting in front of it would be a help.
If you have no power how will you run the fan?
