The current heat wave has been a major source of concern in Pakistan these days. The scorching heat is unbearable for most of our people, which is leading many of the people getting heat stroke. The people in Pakistan have set Heatwave Relief Camps on the roadside as well for the ease of people passing by. However, a Punjabi rickshaw driver has devised an amazing technique to combat the extreme heat.
A rickshaw with a small air conditioner attached in the back has gone viral on social media. The rickshaw driver built a shelf for the cooler out of iron bars, which faces the front and blows cold air through an inlet channel at the back.
By tying a huge can of water next to the air cooler, the driver has also developed a cold water circulation system. He’s probably done this to save water for the cooler, which doesn’t have a water pan large enough to store an entire day’s worth of water.
It’s also likely that the cooler only functions when the rickshaw is idling or driving, because neither the rickshaw’s little battery nor its motor can maintain the cooler’s load on their own.
The scorching heat has driven this enterprising rickshaw to devise an odd but efficient remedy, demonstrating Pakistanis’ creativity.
