From Naomi Goddard (News Lens, March 10, 2023): 

"Originally launched in 2013 under the name Nuclear Film Festival (核電影), the biannual event was created to draw attention to the organizers, Green Citizens’ Action Alliance (GCAA)’s concerns about nuclear energy. In the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster, the festival showcased films advocating for a nuclear-free world and addressing energy-related issues.

However, over the years the festival has expanded its focus to include films about climate change and the fossil fuel industry. As the urgency of the climate crisis has become increasingly pressing, the festival has evolved alongside it. This year, the festival has been renamed to Climate Tipping Point Film Festival to reflect its broader focus on global heating and the need for systemic change to mitigate its effects."

The Isobar mobile vaccine delivery is a product that can safety deliver vaccines when surrounding conditions are limited, and it is withinin a backpack refridgeration unit in it. It can help people for solving out the vaccines delivery damaged by tempreture and time limited on the way, especially in some developing countries.

William  Broadway design this product, who is an industrial design & Technology student in Loughborough University in UK.

This product could be used when long way vaccines transport or some poor environment conditions limited, Isobar can offer a safety and flexible vaccines transport for people.

The Isobar is long-term controlled cooling that is rechargeable anywhere in the world. It is using an automated valve which can detect the internal temperature and recharged using either  and internal electric heating element or propane burner. This design is also applied 2-phase ammonia-water absorption refrigeration which is invented by Einstein, and it is an simplest and powerful cooling technology for its size.

For this product, it just a simple skill that people need to have. It is designed as automatic detact the tempreture and refridgeration, therefore, people are just need to learn how to recharge and connect the cooling parts.

This product is innovative because it breaks a situation of difficult to transport the vaccine  in some situations. It fill the gap of the market and offer a safety vaccines transport effectively. As well as, other medical transport which need tempreture controlling could be inspired by this design.

This product filling a gap in the market. There are some other vaccine transport cooler products in the market, but there are too large size and the cooler system can not be last in a long time. This product is also within aesthetic  that other existing products don't have.

This designed win the national James Dyson Award, and not sure it is implemented yet or not. But I think this product could be implemented and just depend on the cost of the manufacturing.
