Harsh Goenka Highlights Japan's Personal Cooling Booth for Indian Summers
Industrialist Harsh Goenka highlighted Japan's 'human fridge,' a personal cooling booth designed to rapidly lower body temperature during extreme heat. He suggested installing these booths at Indian street corners to help combat rising summer temperatures. The Do Hiemon Box, developed by Japanese company SDRS, maintains an internal temperature of about 15°C and can provide relief from heat exhaustion in minutes. While the idea received mixed reactions on social media, the innovation aims to offer an energy-efficient cooling solution for hot environments.
