Hi Olena, no, the Parabol-part of the umbrella is just metallised with reflecting metal coating so it works like a mirror. The Sun rays collect in the center of the parabol umbrella building up high temperature needed to reactivate the cartridge. You can check out the principle i.e. here: www.zeo-tech.de
WOW! very interesting! Thanks for the clarification :) I did not know before about this technology
Nice, what i really like is the technical part! Simlpe design and high-tech. Good Luck.
Very nice and sustainible idea! A table with a high risk of druken guests and great atmosphere, because nobody has to get up and go for beers anymore.
Thanks Solarchef I wasn't aware of the high risk. Should add a warning sign.
This is a smart piece of design! You've used that space underneath the table top for storage, without losing legroom... And I love the cooling system :)
Thanks Alejandro we'll see. Doesn't look too promising at the moment.
Great idea!.. Carsten... love the air conditioning feature also ....along with the fact that it is a sustainable.. non electricity dependent refrigerator unit.. perfect for outdoor areas where electricity is not available and to save money for caterers...Is the table flap collapsible.. would be easy to transport that way.. thanks for introducing this idea of using zeolite.. it was something new to learn about.. and I will be reading up more about it.. :)
Hi Susan, isn't it cool the potential in Zeolite. One of my clients is using it for heating in catering and I actually had this table idea some time ago. So it was a good opportunity to upgrade for this contest. Yes, the table tops could also be collapsable. I was gonna create a hole series of multi-functional outdoor furniture based on wire-less power through zeolite, but didn't have the time, so I concentrated on the cooling table for private garden use for now.
Glad you did appreciate the air-conditioning feature I wasn't sure if it's a bit too degenerated for a sustainable-branded product although it is in my eyes.
Yes Carsten, zeolite is really cool.. anything that is sustainable and helps the energy load is great.. and I was reading it is also used for absorbing toxins from the body and in environment... so much potential in it.and in ur idea... I think you should go ahead and create a whole range around the idea.. there is a need for such products.. Air conditioning is good idea.. in tropics the heat can be quite strong.. anything that wafts cool air is a relief..and this one doesn't require electricity.. . :)
