The DIVVCRN Assisted High Airflow Cooling Corridor is a rapidly deployable emergency cooling system that uses a network of interconnected electric vehicles (EVs) as a distributed mobile power plant to provide lifesaving cooling during extreme heat events, disasters, grid failures and mass gatherings. Rather than relying on conventional air conditioning systems with high continuous power demands, the concept employs high volume industrial fans to generate a controlled corridor of high velocity airflow that accelerates evaporative cooling of the human body, helping reduce heat stress for large numbers of people with substantially lower energy consumption.
At the core of the system is the Distributed Intelligent Vehicle-to-Vehicle Charging and Resource Network (DIVVCRN). Multiple EVs are interconnected through a modular power management architecture that continuously coordinates energy sharing, balances battery utilization, manages charging and discharging, isolates faults and dynamically reallocates power as vehicles join or leave the network. Instead of each vehicle operating independently, the fleet functions as a resilient distributed energy system capable of supplying temporary emergency infrastructure wherever it is needed.
The cooling corridor consists of modular tunnel sections equipped with high capacity axial fans, environmental sensors, communication systems and intelligent control software. Additional low power features, such as reflective canopies, adjustable ventilation geometry or optional evaporative misting modules in suitable climates, can be incorporated without fundamentally changing the architecture. The modular sections can be transported by trucks and assembled within hours, while the connected EV fleet provides the required electrical power without dependence on permanent grid infrastructure.
The novelty of the invention lies not in the fans themselves, but in integrating a cooperative EV energy network with a rapidly deployable mass cooling infrastructure. Existing cooling centers generally depend on fixed electrical grids or diesel generators, while vehicle based emergency power solutions typically supply isolated loads. The proposed system introduces a scalable, fault tolerant distributed energy architecture that allows numerous EVs to collectively power a single humanitarian application through intelligent energy coordination.
The system is designed using commercially available technologies, including industrial ventilation equipment, bidirectional EV power interfaces, modular electrical distribution hardware, battery management systems and embedded control software. This approach minimizes manufacturing complexity while enabling cost effective deployment using existing electric vehicle fleets.
Potential applications include emergency heat wave response, disaster relief operations, refugee and humanitarian camps, outdoor festivals, sporting events, military logistics, construction sites, emergency evacuation centers, and temporary public shelters. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events worldwide, the DIVVCRN Assisted High Airflow Cooling Corridor provides a practical, scalable, and energy efficient solution for protecting large populations when conventional cooling infrastructure is unavailable, overloaded, or impractical.

- Anteneh is inspired by:I have dedicated my life for invention and research because not only I have big dreams but also I want to make big difference in the world. We all have a talent we know or did not find out yet. Mine happens to be inventing. I discovered this talent of mine when I was in second year student during my university life. Starting from that point everything seemed not important except creating new ideas. So, until now I have invented more than 50 inventions which are new to the world and the rest are intended for Ethiopia that will change the life of many people including mine. But because of poverty, theft and many reasons I could not manage to make it. But all that matter is I will never give up. I will invent until and after I become successful. That makes me a strong entrepreneur. My skills are aided with a mechanical engineering degree on design, production and sales expertise.
