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.
To the people asking about power, he has it on a solar panel. Try watching before commenting. Better yet just shut up
Mike pace a solar panel can run a low wattage fan easily, a 1000w air conditioner is another story

What $#%&!@*ing air conditioner cost 454 lol
I made one of these. It works well.
The fan is 12 volt you dumb $#%&!@*s! But this does not work that good. Ice melts way to fast in a 5 gallon bucket.
if you have a power outage how does it run your fan? lol
Good idea, although there’s a problem with story lead in. If there is a blackout, how are you going power it?
It works, my hubby made a couple of these.
