# Wooden Ice-Powered Air Conditioners The 'Geizeer' is an Energy-Efficient Air Conditioner By Grace Mahas | Published 2019-07-25 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-geizeer References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/idea3di/geizeer-eco-friendly-ice-cooling-and-diffuser?ref=discovery_newest) & [idea3di](https://www.idea3di.com/) In an effort to be more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, the Geizeer has been reimagined to be sustainable and zero-waste. The Geizeer has a low-consumption design and is [rechargeable through its USB port](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-power-solutions). The [ice-powered cooler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-stove-windchill-47) is a wooden, cube-shaped desk cooler that doubles as a perfume diffuser. Thanks to its customized ice-pack, the Geizeer outputs 360 degrees of cool, diffused air. To choose a scent, consumers can choose between various aromas that are made from pulp. Simply pop out one of six of the scented circles and place it into the device. Once all the aroma circles are used, consumers can hang packaging in their vehicles for a truly [zero-waste process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oyster-tempo-1). Lastly, the Geizeer only functions when the two halves are touching each other and is completely button-free -- this makes it safe for children and pets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Energy-efficiency in Cooling:** Opportunity for developing energy-efficient cooling solutions using sustainable materials and technologies like the wooden ice-powered cooler. - **Zero-waste Cooling:** Opportunity for creating cooling devices that have zero-waste processes, such as using scented circles made from pulp and hangable packaging for disposal. - **Safe and Button-free Design:** Opportunity for designing user-friendly cooling devices with safety features, like the Geizeer's touch-sensitive, button-free operation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance:** Opportunity for the home appliance industry to innovate by offering sustainable and zero-waste cooling solutions. - **Fragrance and Perfume:** Opportunity for the fragrance and perfume industry to collaborate with cooling devices by providing scented circles made from pulp. - **Child and Pet Safety:** Opportunity for the child and pet safety industry to integrate touch-sensitive, button-free designs into their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consummately Compact Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-air-conditioner.md) - [Low-Power Outdoor AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-kinoko-kensho.md) - [Powerful Portable Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-wave.md) - [Personal Peltier Effect Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/semiconductor-cooled-portable.md) - [Wearable Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoola.md) - [Terracotta AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nave-air-conditioning-system.md) - [Freestanding Portable AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-wave-3.md) - [Personal Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-cicada.md) - [User-Friendly Campsite Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuuye-portable-air-conditioner.md)
