This has got to be, without a doubt, one of the coolest evaporative coolers that I have ever seen. It makes use of galvanized iron and sisal sack fabric and a water trough to keep camel milk cool.

How does it work? Find out after the jump.

The principal behind the system are quite simple really. The fabric hangs so that it is in contact with the water which then soaks into the fabric and trickles down the both sides of the corrugated iron. You can’t see the water in the picture; it encircles the top of the corrugated iron and is covered. Vents on either side of the cooler allow for continuous airflow, thus achieving a meaningful level of cooling.

If one had access to some solar panels and a low-power exhaust fan, they could give this system a little extra kick. [Afrigadget via Make]
