Tokyo: (RightNow) Japan faces extreme heat with temperatures reaching 38°C. The government has issued a heatstroke alert.

Two Japanese companies have introduced a solution by developing a human fridge. This personal cooling box is designed to protect people from heatwaves.

The fridge is priced at 1.5 million Japanese yen. Made of stainless steel, it cools the body temperature by 5°C when seated inside.

The fridge maintains a temperature of 15°C and automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. The company claims it uses less electricity than an air conditioner.

It is noteworthy that this portable device cools the body faster than traditional air conditioners and can be beneficial for those working in extreme heat.
