- 141. “A fridge for the common man that does not require electricity and keeps food fresh too. It works on the principle of evaporation. Water from the upper chambers drips down the side, and gets evaporated taking away heat from the inside , leaving the chambers cool. The top upper chamber is used to store water. A small lid made from clay is provided on top. A small faucet tap is also provided at the front lower end of chamber to tap out the water for drinking use.” http://www.mitticool.in/pdf/case-study-on-mitticool.pdf
