This is amazing! All I can say that is in the near future, I hope these are more common in everyone's backyard or garden. Dutch designer Floris Schoonderbeek invented this wonderfully innovative way to store food without using any energy. Yes, that means once you install one of these "Groundfridges," your electric bill is going to go way down. The Groundfridge is a refrigerator that is stored underground and requires zero energy. So how does it keep food cold? The temperature of the Groundfridge is determined by temperature of the soil and groundwater, which typically ranges between 44 °F and 59 °F.
The pod is 20 times the size of a regular fridge and can be easily installed, removed, and reinstalled. When Floris and his team released footage of the incredible design, it instantly went viral, gaining over 6.5 million views. Clearly, there is a demand for this unique form of storage. Not to mention, if you're a Lord of the Rings fan like me, it probably reminds you of a real-life Hobbit house! If you don't want to shell up the cash for this, here's how to make a Groundfridge of your own!
Whether you plan on snagging one of these or not, it's always great to know that inventors are still out there coming up with new ways to save money, help the environment, and reduce energy usage!
Please SHARE this stunning invention with your family and friends on Facebook if you think they'll get a kick out of it!
Groundfridge chills food without electricity. Thoughts?
