Pot in Pot type Refrigerator

This is Emily Cummins. At age21 she developed a variationof the pot-in-pot cooler.

Her version uses two metalliccylinders, one inside theother, between which alocally-sourced material suchas sand or wool is packedtightly before being soakedwith water.

When the fridge is placed in awarm environment, the sunsenergy causes the outer partof the fridge to sweat. Waterevaporates from the sand orwool and heat energy istransferred away from theinner cylinder, therebycooling it.
