- Thought the group would be interested in this news bit - a new A/C system developed without freon. Uses chips and ultimately would be a great idea for retrofitting to tight quartered Tigers and Alpin

- Hi Carlo, Sorry to burst this bubble... The Peltier cooling chips upon which their "invention" is based, are typically 5 to 10 percent efficient (i.e. it takes 100 watts of power input to produce 5 t

- Hi all, Looks like I was unnecessarily pessimistic on one count there... The basic raw efficiency of Peltier coolers (such as are used in high-performance CPU cooling systems) is actually up in the 6

- A few years back a Purdue University grad student came up with a new AC unit based upon compression and expansion of air in a chamber. Purdue is now looking into commercially vending the unit. The d

- Also of note, back when the TV show "Screen Savers" was actually worth watching they would often overclock CPU's. As best I recall it was actually a liquid system that they used to dissipate the grea

- Might that Purdue AC unit be the acoustic one I remember hearing about? It worked, but the principles involved the compression and expansion of air using sound waves. It worked, but it was noisy as h
