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.
Don’t bother. Made one and doesn’t produce anything more then your fan would. Tried it in our tent last weekend. Epic failure.

Doesn’t work because of physics. Sad so many people can’t instantly identity the problem. Reread the laws of thermodynamics.

You’d spend more money on ice than in electricity, not to mention one would not be able to freeze enough ice to keep up while having the fridge just dumping heat back into the house. Nice try though

If you have a power black out, the fan won’t run and the ice won’t freeze. Think you will need a generator as well. However, good idea for some place where there is electricity but no A/C
