Project Description
Big budgets and significant amounts of energy are annually allocated to cooling systems. Also, these cooling processes are one of the factors of environmental distruption.
The aim of our project, BactoCooler, is to accomplish a highly effienct and low cost cooling without distrupting nature’s magnificient balance through the usage of the most common form of life on Earth, bacteria.
BactoCooler contains a special RNA Thermometer which is activated at a certain temperature. This initiates the production of the urease enzyme which is responsible in the breakdown of urea. This organic endothermic reaction results in the signifact cooldown of the environment.
