'Desi' cooler made with 1,000 bricks, cement and water pipes is the 'jugaad' you need this summer

IT Trending Desk / Updated on Jun 06, 2024, 17:02 IST

We are currently experiencing the hottest summer in decades, and the heat is not letting up. The only escape from the heat is air conditioning, but not everyone can afford it.  Despite the fact that the cost of air conditioners has decreased in recent years, they remain out of reach for the lower middle class, particularly in rural areas. 

They must rely on fans or be as resourceful as to build their own air conditioner out of bricks and cement. Yes, you read it correctly.

What is used to make the desi cooler?

The cooler is made of 1,000 bricks, with a network of pipes built on top. It can deliver cool air to rooms without using energy. The cooler's body, which is made of cement, keeps the water within cool. The water tank holds 300 litres and does not need to be replaced for three days.

A fan is positioned on top, and a small pump inside circulates water throughout the cooler via a pipe. When the bricks get wet, they constantly emit cool air throughout the day. 

The guy mentioned that the cooler has no grass or honeycomb and has little maintenance requirements. A voiceover in the film details the device in detail, stating that it is significantly less expensive to install than a conventional cooler while maintaining optimal cooling performance.

What did people on the internet say? 

Although the invention is undeniably unusual, not everyone is convinced. One user stated that the air produced by this cooling system could be filthy and that everyone would contract a lung illness within a few weeks.
