Connecticut: Tents are used during summers while spending time at the beach or trekking, but internal heating becomes a major problem in them. Now experts at the University of Connecticut have created a tent that turns into an air conditioner tent with just one gallon of water.
On the one hand, a special cloth is used in it, which does not allow the outside heat to enter the tent, and on the other hand, it keeps the internal environment cold from water vapor. Interestingly, it does not require any electricity. To make it, it has been guided by nature and the process of keeping itself cool by absorbing water in plants has been carefully studied.
A special cloth has been designed for him by Al Kashi, an engineer from the Department of Energy at the university. The fabric contains titanium nanoparticles that draw the water in the tent layer upwards and the water evaporates from the fabric to cool the sides. Even the temperature inside can be as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit which can be as low as minus 6 degrees Celsius.
It should be noted that it works with solar energy instead of electricity or gas.
Interestingly, it only takes about a gallon of water to keep the tent cool for 24 hours. In particular, it can be used in remote and hot areas where there is no electricity and the heat is unbearable. Apart from this, it is also a very suitable invention for disaster, climate change and military purposes.
