Digg 2: Einstein's Fridge Could Be Cool Idea

I DIDN'T KNOW how the time flew and that the autumnal equinox was upon us again. Our northern brethren are gearing themselves up to adjust to daylight savings time 2008 and in a few weeks time will be tackling the problems of frosted butts and whatever else mother nature chooses to drop on those not near the equator.

Whilst heating may use up a lot of energy in the colder months up north, "middle earth" spends a huge amount of energy keeping cool. This is where Einstein's Fridge Could Be Cool Idea. There are many off-shoots to this truly elegant idea and one of the best I have come across is the Ammonia Absorption Icemaker. Again, there are numerous takes on this novel solution to solar-powered cooling. How cool! :-)
