Since she was four years old Emily Cummins has been creating very useful and eco friendly products inside her grandfather’s potting shed. Her interest in helping Third World Countries led her to create a portable solar fridge that can keep perishables cool for days at a temperature of 6c.

So, how did Emily get this idea? She spent a great deal of time researching how to keep things cool and discovered that evaporation plays an important role in the cooling process.

With a hammer, a metal cylinder and some wood/plastic Emily was able to create a fridge that uses solar electricity to keep food cold and can easily be transferred to another location.

How does it work?

It’s quite interesting how the solar fridge works. Here’s a diagram:

The best thing about this solar power invention is that it has already proven useful in Africa! Emily spent 5 months in Africa and let families try out her invention. She became known as ‘The Fridge Lady’ and gave many people hope for the future.

This solar electricity fridge proves that with a little curiosity and hard work almost anyone can create an eco friendly and life-changing product.

So, now that you’re inspired, are you ready to change some lives for the better?
