DIY: PERSONAL COOLER

It's that time of the year again, when its too hot to be home or be outside. If you live in a large space, using your AC all day is not very economical nor is it practical to cool every room unless of course you are using those rooms. So to stay cool in these soaring temperatures and save on electrical bill, here is a quick and temporary solution. Surprisingly, it works better than I anticipated.

Materials:

• Large foam cooler 
• mini fan
• 1 or 2 pipes
• large empty bottles
• Pen Knife
• Pencil or marker

Cost: approximately $15

How to:

Take the cap of the foam cooler and draw an outline of the fan on one end and the 2 pipes on the other. Using the pen knife cut out the shapes.

Place the mini fan and the pipe vents into their designated space. In the cooler place 2 large water bottles that have been frozen. As the fan forces in hot air the frozen bottles will act as coolers. The air will then pass through the pipes cooling that area of the room.

This works really well, especially if you only want to cool down one room at a fraction the price. Stay cool efficiently, save money and enjoy your summer.
