Mansukh Prajapati, a potter, came up with this terrific idea of a building a clay refrigerator for people who cannot afford refrigerators. Called as the Mitti Cool fridge, the contraption measuring 18.5 inch in height and 11 inch in width has two water tanks – one each at the top and the bottom. The working of the fridge is similar to that of clay pots used in rural areas, ones that keep water cool in the summers. It requires neither electricity nor any artificial form of energy so reducing recurring costs to zero. Miticool’s total costs in around Rs. 2000/- , which is almost 80% lesser than conventional refrigerator. Mitti Cools top tank can store about 20 liter of water, while the center cabinet has space for storing fruits,vegetables and milk. The natural cooling process inside the refrigerator keeps the vegetables and fruits fresh for up to seven days, while milk can be preserved for three days. The fridge keeps the temperature down in the 5 to 8 Degree Celsius range. via Sarada Hariharan
