Zeer Pot - Refrigeration without electricity!

This is pretty neat - two clay pots, sand, water and towel is all that's needed.

CornBG asked how big they can be? Here's one in actual use in Sudan:

Very cool. I will give this a try.

I am definitely trying this... Between this and the two bucket grow system I need a Home Depot trip...lol

Neat stuff... I've never seen that before. I wonder how it works with a larger space... and since it's water evap, I would think that running a small amount of water into the sand would keep it working "nonstop"... thanks man.

I like it, thanks buddy! Will have to give this try. Anyone know if it would work with non-ceramic pots? Wondering if plastic or metal buckets would work, or if the semi-permeable ceramic is key.

I think that plastic is too thin and metal is too good a heat conductor to work well. Worth testing though.

I wonder putting the pot in a hole in the ground would help? How big do they make these pots, anyone know?

 

[Outlander]

Wondering if adding another pot onside the second would make it work better/faster??????
