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.
And when you run out of ice?
How would this work in a power blackout ?
Yeah my ice maker doesn’t run on electricity so this will work great….

Ron Cameron, in the video he uses solar panels.
great idea
The panels work but without the ice…… I am in the process of building this. The linings are not sold locally. Solar panels included, as well as the drill bit and shipping for the liners…. 15$ is not the cost. So for the penny pinchers don’t go into this awesome idea with that perspective. This idea is amazing in my opinion though.
doesn’t $#%&!@*ing work
In the process thanks
does not work just a bunch of bull$#%&!@*, I tried it 🙁 someone is trying to see how many idiots will do this and unfortunately I was one of them
