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.

How can the electric fan work in a power blackout????
Dude, did you make one there in Oregon? Seems like a good idea!
Tried it….doesnt work.
Don’t expect it to cool a very hot area.
Anastasia Free for ur next hot ass event u have to go too.
Pffft! Doesn’t work worth a damn, we tried several variations- they suck!
I built one, with an 8″ fan instead. Works for about 4 hours and only feels good DIRECTLY on you. Helps me by I have no A.C. either.

He said he had it connected to a solar panel and showed it. So no power needed as it made its own via the panel. He also said if power went out due to heat. Meaning keep frozen water and should this happen it might help till came back on. I did not try it. I do give credit if it does anything.
