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.
What a joke,
John Uhlman you should try this!!!
This is a variant on a red neck Swamp cooler

Made 4 of them .. They suck what a waist of money

They DO work. My son has one bedroom that the central air unit does not cool well. He freezes two milk jugs of water and uses a Styrofoam ice chest rather than the bucket. Sets the two frozen jugs in the ice chest and has a hole cut in the center of the top for the fan. He has a PVC pipe in each corner of the top of the ice chest. Will not cool the entire house, but works great for about 6 hours for the one bedroom. Of course , if the electricity goes off, it does not work, just as the central unit doesn’t.
Don’t waste money. Made them. It doesn’t work at all !!!!!
