In these hot summer months, there isn’t much more a person can think about except how to get cool. Unfortunately, it can get pretty expensive to run your A/C unit during the hottest days, not to mention the strain doing so can put on the power grid, often leading to blackouts and power restrictions.
With all of this working against you, you may think your only method of getting cool is to lounge around in a kiddy pool all day, but if you did that, how would you ever get anything else done?
Luckily, you don’t have to run your air conditioner all day to stay cool. Well, not your standard air conditioner, anyway.
With just a few items that can often be scrounged from your shed or garage or had for a few bucks at the local thrift store, you can throw together a very effective homemade air conditioner guaranteed to lower noticeably the temperature in whatever area you plug it in.
Learn how to construct one and keep yourself cool on the video on the next page.

Wouldn’t the dry ice displace the oxygen in the room?
Not to mention Dave Nuz, the cost of the dry ice is far more than the cost of running A/C. It costs me about $15/month to run mine.
It could cause hypercapnia (elevated carbon dioxide in the blood) It causes dizziness, in creased heart beat and high blood pressure among other things! I would rather stay hot than take a chance!
I’ve seen this same setup,but they use a frozen 1 gal jug of water
Dave the interwebz is no place for logical thinking. Stop it.
frozen jugs of water work better
You dont need ac lol pathetic
Don’t need those pipes

dry ice bad mmmmmkkkkkaaaaayyyy
Robert Schifkovitz; Gabriella Marquez. LOL
A new take on what is called a swamp cooler. Block of ice in front of a fan done that the bucket handles the melting water or you could use cooler ice packs of one gallon jugs of frozen water. NEVER use dry ice.

Yes! fill your home with carbon dioxide and never worry about air conditioning prices again. Cuz dead people don’t pay bills.
That’s the one the one but a small solar panel to run the fan. If you stick your head in the bucket of ice water, you’ll stay a lot cooler!!!
Lmao

Aye Clinton we already made one of these at work. Lol. I think it still works. Lol

I think you’re trying to thin The Herd eliminate some of the idiots by replacing the oxygen in the room with CO2 use ice stay alive a large insulated water jug works better then a 5 gallon bucket this is good for one day in a tent or cabin this is not cheaper you must freeze the water to make the ice
So this is what you were talking about lol
Someone is retarded.
I made one with the frozen gallon jug. What a crock. This does not work.
Saw this in a guys garage, 2 days later it was in a pile of trash.
true, then how to pay for it !!!!!!!!!

Use a cooler it insulates better and keeps the ice longer
I used two styrofoam minnow buckets in a five gallon bucket just like the picture. It does work, but as said, the colder you can keep the ice the better it does.
Ummm, no! Do this in a confined space and you’re emitting too much carbon dioxide from the dry ice that’ll be hazardous for you to breath.
