Brut India

These two girls from Mumbai have found a sustainable solution to cool the air that our ACs heat up. And they’re not even in their teens yet.

00:00If you're a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter, because you guys can win the competitions regardless.

00:07I'm Antara Patel and I'm 11 years old.

00:10Hi, I'm Preisha Patel and I'm 5 years old.

00:21We were walking down the street and everybody, I think, fears this,

00:26is that the hot air from the AC is very uncomfortable.

00:30So we thought that we should solve that problem because it's already very hot in Mumbai.

00:35So we looked at the different appliances at our homes and we came to the conclusion that the AC consumes most of the electricity.

00:44And so we looked more into that.

00:57We used an aluminium frame for the cones and a Lego frame to do circuit markers with Arduino and sensors.

01:03The cones were kept moist by using water from AC and RO, channelized by using drip irrigation.

01:09When the hot air passes through the cones, it cools the temperature of the air by 5-7 degrees.

01:15The best part is that it's natural, eco-friendly and sustainable.

01:19We worked with the traditional pottery to make the cones.

01:26We were an all-girls team and none of the teams were all girls in our category.

01:52So we were really looking forward to winning.

01:56We looked at the WRO website and we looked at the other team's videos and we saw that ours was actually the only one that wasn't using only Lego.

02:20So we thought maybe we could win the award.

02:27We can change it around, like to fit bigger ACs, give you chimneys and dryers and all of that.

02:35So it can be tweaked.

02:37Also, I'm very keen, I think we both are very keen on finding new solutions to real-life problems.

02:45So we would like to do that more and more.
