This is a diy method to keep your objects eatables and drinkables cool passively. By unknowningly using physics and concepts like cappilary action, termal conductivity and cooling effect of evaporation you keep your belongings cool.It is a ecofreindly ,carbon free,non electric and easy method ideal for hot summers ,power faliures,camping or living offgrid .This demonstration shows you the steps for a water bottle. :)

you can try it up on different object large and small from a silver glass to a large glass bowl you can even scale it up to make your own offgrid refrigirator!!! . Using highly thermal conductive materials gives the best results
