This is so fascinating! Doesn’t look like it holds very much though…but the concept is great. See what happens when you never stop creating & pushing. Yikes, sounds like something my professor would say!
Africans have already been using this concept for past 1000 years .. right from the day first earthen pot was made.. What earthen pots do is the same thing !! Being porous in nature help water seep through it to outside and then evaporate which cools the water inside ! Do Africans really need it?? Who decided that they need it? People like us who get carried away by technology need it more than the people of Africa !!
This is very fasinating, but to echo what Satyajeet said, Do Africans really need it? The answer is well, they need water and food but do they really need a powerless mini fridge?
While I think the idea is very smart and eco-friendly, it is not a neccessity. They can make do without it.
