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.

cool i like this
Kinda cool But what about 5 0r 6 hrs later when the ice runs out . Where do you get more?
This doesn’t work. The air coming out of the thing is the SAME temp as the air being blown in. No matter how much ice is in the bucket.
It does work but the transportation costs of going to the North Pole to get more ice is rather inconvenient. No power generally means no ice unless you are covered in it in which case you don’t need more.
Modern air conditioners are rated by the tonnage and btu, rating by the tonnage literally means they used to blow air over a ton of ice, do you think that a 40 cfm fan and a bucket of ice is going to make a difference att 100° and 75% humidity?
