Of course the concept isn’t new but in another article it is mentioned that she did research on older processes. She is a good person trying to do good,no need to give her shit for it!

Van: Way to go… by the way, it says BRITISH student. Also, no mention of any work that this is going to any kind of education or credit for school or university, just that she is going around Africa to showcase her creation. No, the concept isn’t new, but the functionality is; as Silani points out this just shows a portable version of the idea.

I guess the best news her, besides the potential for her creation to help thousands, if not millions, in Africa, is that you’ve restored my faith that there will always be someone around to take my order at McDonald’s.

OMG SO AWESOME… if she had come up with the idea by herself. But i guess plagiarism is the backbone of the American way. Martin Luther king plagiarized his dissertation, Edison stole AC from Tesla, and now a highschool bint is getting a scholarship off of some Nigerian’s ingenuity.

Hey you know what? I have a great idea for my College Final project. Picture this… a fridge, that runs on evaporation. Brilliant, right? Man this is going to do so much good for the world. I am going to be RICH.

Wow, so not a new idea. Coolers based on this basic design have been used with porous crockery and burlap sacks here in Arizona for at least 130 years+ Still, if it is light weight and works, it is an improvement. But in no way shape or form is this her original invention.

Regardless of where the idea originated, the practical reality remains that a great number of people are able to benefit. If indeed you were to dig back further in time this simple technology was being used in India to cool buildings with a simple pan filled with water and straw placed above.
