New Mobile Fridge to Store Vaccines

A 22-year-old student in the UK has invented a mobile fridge that can store vaccines at an ideal temperature while in transit, which could potentially save millions of lives. Current methods of transporting can result in the vaccines freezing before reaching their destination in countries where poverty and conflict are major obstacles. The device, called Isobar, maintains a steady two to eight degrees for 30 days. It heats ammonia and water to create ammonia vapors, which are then released into its main chamber when cooling is needed.
