Industrialist Harsh Goenka, Chairman of RPG Enterprises, has taken social media by storm with his suggestion to install "human fridges" on street corners across India to combat the sweltering summer heat. In a post on X, Goenka marveled at Japan's innovative "human fridge," or the Do Hiemon Box, an invention designed to provide instant relief from extreme heat.
The compact cooling booth, capable of accommodating a single person, features three adjustable airflow and cooling settings and can lower body temperatures rapidly. Developed by Japanese vending machine manufacturer SDRS, this unique cooling device is powered by half the energy of a portable air conditioner and provides a comparable temperature to a refrigerator's chiller compartment.
Despite some humorous comments from social media users, the idea has garnered attention for its potential to alleviate the suffering of workers in hot environments.
