During the last few weeks, Mexico has suffered from intense heat, which will persist for the next few days, exceeding 30 degrees Celsius in the 32 entities of the country, as reported this Monday, June 19, by the National Meteorological Service (SMN).
Faced with the ’embarrassment’ and the intense sun to which many of us are not accustomed, the fans, fans and air conditioners Their sales have increased, but their costs have also risen. For this reason, we present to you a refreshment system that you can do yourself.
This system does not waste electricity and promises to reduce the temperature of your home or space by up to five degrees Celsius. In addition to being made with recycled materials, air conditioning turns out to be a great alternative to take care of your pocket and protect yourself from this climate.
It might interest you: What is heatwave? The extreme heat at this time has a reason, here we explain
Invented in Bangladesh, this system known as ‘Eco Cooler‘ works with the technique of adiabatic cooling, which consists of reducing the temperature through a change in air pressure caused by the expansion of the volume.
To exemplify it, it is enough to blow air into your hand with your mouth open to realize that it will be hot. On the contrary, if you now blow with pursed lips (as when we cool the soup), the air is simpler.
To create home air conditioning and achieve adiabatic cooling, you only need a few empty two-liter plastic bottles, a cardboard plate, and a few utensils such as scissors and tape, among others. Next, the tutorial in three steps:
- In a piece of cardboard the size of the window, make holes the size of the neck of the bottle in a grid pattern.
- The bottom half of the bottles is cut and inserted into the holes
- The carton is placed on the window frame with the necks of the bottles facing inward.
