"Una solución es un material simple, la arcilla. Sin usar electricidad, estos refrigeradores se fabrican en todo el mundo, ofreciendo una posibilidad ecológica y asequible para aquellos que necesitan refrigerar alimentos, pero no pueden pagar un refrigerador eléctrico o acceder a la red eléctrica."

"Evaporative coolers have been known to purveyors of low-cost, sustainable technologies for years. Without the need for electricity, these cold containers have kept produce fresh from farms to tables, protecting against post-harvest losses in the field and food spoilage in hot pantries worldwide. Now the concept has been applied to air conditioning. Manoj Patel Design Studio in Vadodara, Gujarat (India) has built evaporative air conditioners that can cool a room for days on a single tank of water. The studio designs new products from recycled materials, and they built their air conditioners from ceramics and stone, integrating them with potted plants. By filling rows of ceramic tubes with water, the prototypes maximize their surface area for optimal evaporation while retaining a small footprint. ..."
