I've been using this method for the past 10+ years to store my fruit and vegetables and they keep fresh up to 6 months.

I am a banker in a Rural Regional Bank and i get posted in remote areas and i get transferred frequently too, so i cant buy refrigerator and other appliances because its a big hassle when i move. So i am resorting to this method to Store vegetables. Refrigerator is more efficient to store everything needed for a weeks cooking but atleast this keeps my veggies fresh

Actually, they did not explain the science at all so I’m not sure why you think the science is “wrong”. In any case the science behind this is basically the evaporative cooling effect: the same principle used in a swap coolers. When water changes state from a liquid to a gas it requires energy to do so, and it gets that energy by absorbing heat from the surrounding environment. Since the clay is very porous the water wicks its way throughout the outer wall of the pot where it can then easily evaporate into the surrounding air which in turn drops the temperature of the pot and thereby the air and water inside the pot as well. Of course, unlike a modern refrigerator freezer which can drop the internal temperature by 100 degrees, evaporative cooling can only lower the temperature by 15 to 20 degrees. So, if its 80 degrees inside your house your vegetables in the pot might be kept and 60 to 65 degrees at best. And of course, evaporative cooling only works efficiently in a relatively dry climate. By the way I’m not quite sure what you mean by “cold molecules”. First of all, everything is made up of molecules, including the clay, the water, and the air inside the pot. But naturally only the molecules in the air and water can rise and fall. Secondly, cold is simply the relative absence of heat and is not a thing itself. It is true of course that hot air rises, which of course means that molecules of air rise and cooler ones fall, and this is known as convection. However, since the walls of the pot maintain a pretty uniform temperature, it would not make a huge difference having the water on top - although they do make larger square units with a door in the front and the water reservoir on top.

@buddhapiyao1315 6 ай бұрын

although this is a very environmentally friendly fridge, the science applied here is a bit wrong. cold molecules settle at the bottom, warm rises up. so if the bowl to store food was below, the cooling effect would be even better. he will have to make this in 4 layers. 1 a wider and taller external pot 2 a flat clay mesh with tiny holes as the 1st bottom layer inside the pot under which there should be room for atleast 2 glasses of water 3 a pot to store food in the middle 4 a final top pot to pour water in. and a conical lid to cover it all up. the water under the clay mesh will retain the cool necessary for the food to stay fresh and the top clay pot with water will keep sending the cold molecules downwards. the conical lid will allow any heat to rise up further helping the food to remain fresh longer. once a week the water can be drained and more fresh water feeded.

You are overcomplicating things. These unglazed pots most likely work with the evaporation cooling effect and they do what they are supposed to. It's s simple design. Doing it your way would propably triple the price. It has to be affordable and, more important, craftable for the poeple there.

@buddhapiyao1315 6 ай бұрын

@@CD-kg9by I only gave a very "scientific" approach to the natural fridge. explaining the logic of cooling. I did not tell them to actually manufacture my idea. Even with their simple design a little bit of tweaking will make it a better fridge if only the pot to hold vegetables is somehow placed at the bottom of the pot instead of at the top. the best part is that it is a clay model which is very easy to modify.

Go to a nearby market..buy two non glazed clay vessels which fits inside of the other and a clay lid to cover the top..fill in between the vessels with river sand or any construction sand..soak the sand with water. Make sure there is no leakage in the inner vessel. Fill the vegetable inside the inner container.close it with lid .it should work good..

Maybe he should think of exporting. On shopping day, I always buy more than my fridge can sensibly hold, and by the following shopping trip the fridge is nearly empty. I don't want to buy a larger fridge, more electricity and all that. But I would like something that would do in between. Maybe I can convert my picnic box for the week - now I think of it. Put a sort of stand inside. Fill with water, put a snug fitting tupperware box or terracotta trough inside to sit upon the stand. And the picnic box lid snugs on top. I'll look about for things to try later on. But yes, this would be a nice looking and useful help in Western kitchens as well as Indian ones.

I'm going to visit Menards and see if a suitable set of clay pottery is available in the garden center. I already make and use Mexican design ollas in my garden for watering the vegetable plants I grow. A clay "refrigerator" in the pantry seems like a good idea. But it probably won't work as well in a humid environment since the design works via evaporation. I will still give it a try.

Loving the Indian ingenuity! My people here in Mexico used to employ all cooking vessels made from clay, from griddles to frying pans to pots and of course individual cups for coffee, porridge or chocolate while we would also have ceramic plates but no, we had to enter the modern era and now those may still exist, inherited from our grandmothers and mothers, but here is a way to revitalize Mexican potter's way to also take advantage of this Indian ingenuity. Of course contact must first be made and points taken into consideration like the youtuber below me states, Buddhapiyao1315. 👍and 👋greetings from Anahuác(Americas).
