Adam Grosser’s Sustainable Fridge That Requires No Electricity

In less than four minutes, Adam Grosser describes a new technology that may bring affordable refrigeration to areas of the world where no electricity exists. He and his colleagues at Stanford designed and built a unit you heat over a fire, that when cooled, will product sub-zero temps for about 24 hours. This low-cost solution could revolutionize health care in remote parts of the world as well.

  1. Isn’t this the most amazing thing! I saw this Ted Talk quite some time ago and it just floored me. The uses are widespread and are of such value to the health and well-being of those in the poorest regions of the world. It amazes me that back after the Civil War, they were thinking of closing the U. S. Patent office thinking that there couldn’t possibly be anything left to invent. Look where our incredible, agile human minds have taken us since then.

  2. I agree Michele – this is what I love about humanity… taking care of ourselves with our ingenuity and care. That’s how you do it baby!

    Plus, very often it’s not the big, fancy solutions that do it, but the small and easy ones, those are really the clever ones!
