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 made one before, they are c**p, you’d do better with just the fan itself.
HOW are you gonna run the fan with NO POWER???? oh yeah and HOW are you gonna FREEZE the WATER?????
So during the power blackout, where are u plugging the fan up at????
Watch the video again, toward the end of the video he says he has the fan being operated by a Solar Panel hook up. The same thing can be done with plain water in the bucket. Won’t be as cold, but on a 100 deg day, it will cool you.
solar panel
He has an extension cord with alligator clips on each of the two wires. They plug into a 15 watt solar panel which runs the small fan easily.
Does not cool with the frozen gallon jug. Gonna try a block of ice.
ITS GOOD FOR A TENT THATS IT PERIOD!
lol..better make sure all your tools are charged
Jonathan Garcia I think we did it wrong lol
