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.

this works but you have to get a strong fan .. a 10 inch fan was weak.

Works poor when you drill the air ports up top like he dose in the video. Works so so if you drill them closer to the bottom. This guy is in the desert south west so he has a lot less humidity to deal with than we do here.
Built the original , did not work with a flip. Redesigned and now I have 58° air exiting at 70 cfm. For the plan send a friend request.
Melanie Ann Jay Edwards made one out of a styrofoam ice chest-it works great!
Unless you have a back up generator, that won’t work in a black out. Lat time I checked, that fan needs electricity to run.
Built one not bad
Did you not watch the video Christopher? He is using a solar panel to power it.
