Zeer Pot Fridge. Cool your food or drinks with no electric needed!

Zeer Pot Fridge. Cool your food or drinks with no electric needed!
This DIY project uses a red clay pot and sand to cool the contents inside from evaporation. Evaporator coolers work great and they are very easy to make. This Zeer pot might have been what the ancients used to keep their produce fresh in the summer seasons to last longer. I think this could be very handy if we were to loose power..

Great Video, Pete !

I wonder if it is possible to just use a big metallic trash can like

a metal trashbin and just put layers of sand and cleaning rads ( cloth)

at the sides and have as the outer shell not a clay case, but just a

canvas sack, (sheer fabric of cloth), so the water can evapourate much easier and faster ?

Maybe you can try this out ?

Regards, Stefan.

@overunitydotcom Thanks for the kind words, Sand has a lot of surface area and that's why it works so well. I will test some more mediums and if I find something else that works I will post it for sure.

Have a great weekend,

Excuse me, but can you help me?

I have a school project to build something. I choosed the zeer pot.

At school the temp could go down to about 15-16 degrece (about 50 farenhight). But now that I have it at home , it wont go down bellow 20 degrece (70 farenhight i think). What could be the problem.

@overunitydotcom A 21 year old called Emilly Cummins made a modern day version of this, its worth seeing, as my friend and me are going to travel and use them instead of a fridge.

I stumbled across your videos while looking for info on solar panels. That was hours ago! I've been watching ever since. Great stuff and practical considering what's coming with the NWO. Thanks for sharing and please keep the content coming! God bless you!

@TheChareen I live in the high desert in Arizona. My yard is all rock, gravel and sand. There is a layer of clay about 2 feet below the surface.I have made a water filter using this sand and gravel. I did not use any power tools just a wheelbarrow, and a shovel, and sifting grids. No plastic required. No diesel fuel needed. No warehouse, and no store. Low tech works, and does not require modern amenities. Just a little sweat. and ingenuity. this refrigerator can be very useful to some people.

Elevate on a metal grid so the bottom cools as well.

Set up outdoors in a shaded spot with good ventilation.

Fold the towel smaller so it just cover the top not the sides.

A breeze would be nice but not essential.

Mount a rectangular unit to the pannier rack on a bicycle to keep drinks cold.
