Bio Robots, Solar-powered Refrigerators Contribute to Green Movement
The green revolution has advanced several areas of the automotive, power, and appliance industries. Two refrigerators in the appliance category could change the face of the green industry in the kitchen. One is a futuristic concept called the Bio Robot Refrigerator, which would use gel to preserve food, and the other, a complete product, is a solar-powered refrigerator that stores vaccines in developing countries.
The Bio Robot Refrigerator is an idea in its earliest stages by Electrolux's Design Lab competition semifinalist Yuriy Dmitriev, and is supposed to be a zero-energy refrigerator that uses a gel-like substance that is odor-free to preserve and cool food. It is four times smaller than a traditional refrigerator, but possesses maximized storage space and the absence of doors, which "allows horizontal or vertical placement and displays food in plain view."
