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.

You plug the fan in your ass hahaha …..
Sorry to burst the bubble. While this is an innovative idea it is in no way equivalent to a $400 air conditioner. The problem is the cooling capacity is tiny. Why? Because it relies on the cooling from one gallon of ice. This gives about 1600 But cooling over 5 hours or about 300 But per hour. Compare this to the smallest window AC you can buy which gives 5,000 But per hour. You would need 16 of these to get the same cooling.

You also need power to make the ice…
I love diy things like this. I just wish they didn’t always assume I have expensive power tools.
LOL,WHAT A JOKE HOW CAN THAT WORK WITHOUT POWER.
