You should build an awning to cover that cooler. You want the wind to evaporate the water, and not the sun. Sun evaporates water quicker, but adds heat as well, and adds more energy than is taken away by evaporation.
you can make your heads of lettuce and other similar veggies last even longer if you shave a little bit off the stem and put them in a bit of water in a shallow pan or tray and change the water daily like you would do with cut flowers.
Back in the village many years ago when mortuary services were only found in large towns, people would preserve the dead using such charcoal coolers before the burial date.
I live in the U.S. desert. I have pottery Zeer fridges for fruit and veggies. I also have a huge DIY evaporative cooler that runs off a 100w solar panel. The pump is 20w. The whole thing, all four sides, have pads. No fan needed. I keep things inside the cooler where the water is. Stuff that is in jars that won’t spoil, like pickle relish, condiments, etc. This isn’t rocket science…..it’s just that too many people are not interested in doing things that aren’t mainstream.
Is there a new development on how to recycle the water used , for other purposes ? Like some kind of bottom eavesdrove or water harvesting under....that is some clean water you got there, once it has gone through all that charcoal
I designed a charcoal linkable panel to fit into a window, under the same principle, now open sourced, soon on UA-cam through Robert Murray Smith's channel. Simple to DIY using recyclable materials. El cheapo.
You wouldnt want in the sun. The sun adds more energy than is taken away when evaporating water. These coolers only work well when in the shade. The wind is what helps the best, but even with little wind, there will still be evaporation even in the shade.
I heard on another channel that the roof should be made of natural materials and never iron sheets. Dry Grass, banana leaves and palm leaves should do the roofing job.
Judging by the size, it's a charcoal that's probably made out of a local hardwood. Not the hardest charcoal around (my understanding is that would be charcoal made from coconut shells), but a good size based on the screen size (coconut shell charcoal is small by nature, and would fall through the screening given that it is about the size of a BB). Old school "retorts" will work just fine for what you want to do. And get the hardest wood that you can find. Just be careful, life can get very interesting when things go wrong around a retort. And as long as you don't disturb the charcoal it should last a long time. Otherwise it will crumble and blow away. The other thing that would ruin your charcoal is getting it impregnated with dust or some other contaminate that prevents water from being absorbed into the charcoal. That's not too likely, but we used our charcoal beds to filter out the VOCs from the paint shop spray booths and it could not have any paint whatsoever in the air stream. BTW, here's the coordinates (35.74008049742367, -86.9601778655351) of our old carbon beds at the former Saturn plant in Spring Hill, TN. There are five beds measuring around 85 feet long and 12 feet in diameter. That's quite a bit of carbon. :)
He uses charcoal. Just wondering what he means with 'charcoal'? Are these the already burnt charcoal also known as 'klinkers' which is a by product from processing plants that uses coal for their kilns? Or am I off the rails....?
Ofcourse it is. Almost all charcoal comes from wood. Some is made from coconut shells. But it doesnt matter what type you use. Charcoal is porous, so it holds water, and the evaporation is what cools it down. These are also made using sand as well, with terracota or clay walls.
Mate this is Africa....solar panels would be stolen on the first night.This is a system they cannot steal and in case you hadn't noticed...it would have to be a walk in refrigerator...we are not like Europeans or Americans...us White Africans are still pioneers....no Woollies or Safeway stores or FedEx.
That costs money which they may need for other purposes. Charcoal, on the other hand, is abundant in Africa because so many people use wood for heating and cooking. So probably the only outlay was for the structure itself. I live in the desert. Solar, even though I built my systems myself, is hugely expensive. One lithium battery is $1200. To run a structure the size they have, with solar, would cost at least 15k counting fridges, batteries, panels, controller, etc.

In Colorado where the air is as dry as a popcorn fart, we use swamp coolers that do the same thing. It will freeze you backside off.
MaashaaAllah extremely beautiful poetry, voice and singing

No, the entire point is to make the water evaporate and cool the inside by the zeer effect.
This is literally called an evaporative cooler.
Maybe it could be channeled to water some plants nearby

Great Idea and blessings of Mother Nature.👍
Simple excellent technology!
Amazing idea, I will also go for this system
This is very interesting, thank you for sharing! I hope that this type of product could be used in turkana county that has been experiencing drought?
Thats awesome nice 1♥️
Perfect ingenuity!!
If you put the funnel on top will it increase the efficiency.?? With the sun heating the funnel it will cause a draft ??
I saw a video that has posted 12yrs ago from i think Uganda or kenyan young lady introducing this tech.
How is the ceiling done? What is used to keep the inside dry on the ceiling?
Good question!
I think, any type of insulated roof can be made...
Is the roof made out of charcoal as well?
What is the roof made of?

Does anyone know if an underground food pantry wouldn't work in that area?
What currency is he talking about for the cost of the build?
Kenyan shillings
It's about 1,330 USD

how much water does it use per flush?

He means charcoal. 🤷
Burnt charcoal is known as "ash". 🤦🏼♂️
It's charcoal,as in you get the charcoal and use it

Charcoal name??? Which charcoal are you using???
Wood charcoal???? Plz tell me......!
Use normal wood charcoal
I think he's using concrete charcoal or plastic charcoal. But it could be metal charcoal... 🤔
Name? Well, obviously you should ONLY use OogaBooga brand charcoal!

Super.
So it's true.
No, it's obviously completely imaginary. You're just dreaming. Wake up.
Why do all this? Just use solar
