Japanese summers are very hot. On July 15 this year, 48 people in Tokyo went to hospital because of high temperature. People and companies are trying their best to find new ways to stay cool. To meet this need, a Japanese cooling company SDRS made a special machine. It is called the DoHiemon Box, or the “human refrigerator”.

This machine is a metal box with a clear glass door. People can walk inside and sit on its seat. Cold air of about 5℃ blows on your head, neck and back. Staying inside for 10 minutes can lower your body temperature fast and make you feel better after tiredness from the heat.

The machine keeps around 15℃ inside and has three cooling modes. It will turn off in 20 minutes so you won’t get too cold. It uses less power and has wheels, so people can move it easily.
