 Now That's Coolby WiredBerries Editors — March 18, 2008According to Inhabitat.com, researchers at the Technical University of Denmark have invented a new method of magnetic cooling technology that brings a whole new meaning to refrigerator magnets. Scientists have been able to drop the temperature of a room from 20° C to 11° C by taking the heat energy from opposing magnetic fields and thermodynamically reversing it to a cooler temperature. DTU researchers will use this technology to create a prototype refrigerator that cools itself using only magnets. According to research from Risø National Laboratory, magnetic refrigerators would be silent and their cooling cycles could be up to 60% more efficient than traditional refrigerators! Admit it, that's really cool! Comment on this Post
