Goodbye air conditioners! THE "climatic" bricks in 3D printed ceramics they will save us (maybe) from global warming. The green solution for the refreshments of the future comes from the States, where the Californian company Emerging Objects has developed some ceramic bricks that cool the air indoors.
Their feature is the use of a evaporation mechanism guaranteed by the porous ceramic they are made of. In practice, this material is capable of absorb water and thus reduce heat indoors thanks to evaporation.
How do they work - The logic is that of the so-called "evaporative cooling“: Steam is added to the air to cause a lowering of the temperature. Just as the Persians and Egyptians did a long time ago, the aim is to pass hot air from outside into a wet grille. Here the air, by the principle of evaporation, transfers part of the heat to the water molecules and thus enters the closed room at a lower temperature.
The result? The house is refreshed and there is a huge energy and economic saving.
Each brick absorbs water like a sponge and is 3D printed for air to pass through the wall. They can be interlocked together and used as a screen. The 3D latex creates a very strong bond when added to the mortar.
A solution, therefore, that will gradually allow the replacement of air conditioners and electric conditioners, which not only can cause damage to the environment, but can seriously endanger our health due to refrigerant gases. It remains only to understand if and when they will be placed on the construction market and above all what their actual cost will be.
