Lost of incomprehensible BS about a method of cooling.

What kind of cooling - phase change, magnetic, electric field, expansion of
gases or something else? Did you know Einstein invented a refrigerator? I'm
interested!

Do tell!

I hope the review committee doesn't find it "incomprehensible"

All the above, of course. He has applied both fuzzy logic &
string theory to produce quantum amounts of "fuzzy ice"

Me too.

Did you know the first air conditioner was invented to
prevent malaria?

Quite gillinestic

The first air conditioning probably started with early man when he
moved inside a cool, dark cave to escape the summer heat and to protect
himself from the winter cold.

Humans have continually searched for ways to keep cool in the summer,
from indulging in Roman baths to siting castles for cross-ventilation
to using cardboard hand fans during many summer church services.

It has only been in the 20th century - less than 100 years - that air
conditioning as we know it now has been in use. Today, we find the
benefits of air conditioning to be much more than personal comfort - it
is necessary for improving productivity in the workplace, making
possible good medical/health service and preserving fresh and frozen
foods. In less than 100 years, air conditioning has become a necessity
in our lives.

Air conditioning - or manufactured air, as it was first called - was
originally considered to be simply controlling humidity. Textile mills
had a higher production rate if the inside humidity could be managed.
Then temperature control was added and - presto - circulated air with
controlled humidity and a constant temperature.

I'm guessing it's the system that uses sound waves and speakers as the
cooling system!
Are we keeping score?

The problem with single frequency sound waves, if they are travelling is
that a fixed point along the path experiences both high and low pressures
equally.

In the case of standing waves a fixed point sees a time varying pressure.
The trick in either case would be to move from a high pressure point to a
low pressure point quickly or do a frequency sweep. Still doesn't sound
practical.

Perhaps using a liquid as the medium rather than air and having the liquid
go through a phase change. Now it's almost a conventional refrigerator, one
is just replacing the compressor.

Might it widen the range of possible refrigerants (i.e., phase changing
medium)?
Would be nice to see a system that uses water as the refrigerant (besides
some commercial absorbers).
