Rise&Fall
Air conditioning for the world’s poorest, using a weight, counterweight, and gears, the fan converts gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
2.5 billion people do not have access to climate-friendly cooling solutions – the vast majority living in Africa and Asia

My aim is to create an accessible design for developing countries. Rise&Fall utilises common waste streams, bike wheels and chains, combined with a kit containing fan blades, gears, and instructions.
The fan comes with a mount that can be fixed onto doors or windows, giving the user flexibility to move it wherever it’s needed.
