Human cooling fridge in 5 minutes
A Japanese company has developed a technology called the "Human Refrigerator" to combat rising temperatures and increasing heatwaves, especially for outdoor workers such as those in construction, transportation, and maintenance. The device, named Do Reimon Box, is a small cooling chamber that provides localized cooling to key areas of the body like the neck, head, and back through jets of cold air at around 5°C (41°F). Each cooling session lasts between 5 and 10 minutes. The device is used for no more than 20 minutes at a time to prevent hypothermia, operates on a standard electrical outlet, and can be easily transported thanks to wheels. This solution responds to climate change, which has led to a harsher summer in Japan, increasing heat stress and heatstroke cases among workers. The device costs approximately $9,000 and is aimed at companies and organizations seeking quick and effective ways to protect workers from the heat. There are plans to expand its use to public spaces in the future, although it is not a substitute for basic precautions like drinking water and taking breaks.
