在过去的十年里,除了一些交通不便的地区,游牧社区信托基金组织已经在肯尼亚的莱基皮亚和桑布鲁等地使用骆驼作为移动诊所了。虽然这些骆驼护送队,经济有效,能够穿越路况恶劣的沙漠地区,但是直到现在他们还没有办法运送需要冰箱冷藏的药品和疫苗。2005年,游牧社区信托基金组织与加利福尼亚艺术中心设计学院和普林斯顿材料科学与技术研究所合作,共同设计出一种质量轻、靠太阳能发电的冰箱,这种冰箱可以绑在骆驼的背上,用来运送那些需要冷藏的药品和疫苗。
The mini fridge is housed in a bamboo saddle that is lightweight and durable enough for camels to easily carry it across miles of rough terrain. The device itself is covered with crystalline solar panels that provide power for the compartmented fridge’s generator. The solar panels themselves can also be used by the mobile clinics for lighting and refrigeration in the field.
迷你冰箱被装在一个轻便坚韧的竹制骆驼鞍里,骆驼们可以载着它轻松穿越环境恶劣的沙漠。冰箱上覆盖有水晶太阳能面板可以为冰箱的发电机提供能量,同时还可以为夜间照明提供电力来源。
Mariana Amatullo, Designmatters‘ executive director, said the project was designed with a budget of only a few thousand dollars. To save money, designers tested the device on the Bronx Zoo’s camels so people wouldn’t have to fly back and forth to Kenya.
