At one time giant block of trash were the unspoiled result we could come up with for keeping solid food frigid . That naive approach was finally replaced by electric refrigerators using compressor and chemical coolants . Now , almost 100 year later , G.E. recall it ’s found a effective agency to chill a fridgeusing a piss - based fluid and magnet .
It ’s a radical departure from the technology we ’ve swear on for almost a hundred , but the passage could be worthwhile since G.E. believes the system could be as much as 20 percent more Energy Department - efficient than the appliance that ’s presently keeping your milk from spoiling . Which imply an upgrade could avail tighten your monthly power placard .
So how does it work ? Instead of using a chemic refrigerant like Freon to draw rut away from the inside of the fridge , a magnetic field press particles in a water supply - establish fluid — presumably made of some highly patented mixture — that causes it drop in temperature and in turning cool a refrigerator . The engine room and physics behind how it work is of course more complicated than that , but those are batting order that company is clearly holding close to its chest .
free-base on the advancement of its research and prototyping , G.E. is sure-footed that a fridge with a charismatic - based cooling organization could be ready for retail soon in as little as five years , although it ’s too former to blab about what this innovation would add to a fridge ’s price tatter . And that the applied science could finally make its way into other home plate widget like eco - favorable air travel conditioners , helping to dramatically reduce the load on power grid during hot summer months .
