We tend to think of Albert Einstein has a highfalutin theoretical physics guru, but the physicist also worked on much more everyday tasks…like developing an energy-efficient refrigerator. Allow Jennifer Ouellette from Cocktail Party Physics to explain.
Refrigerators are the source of much joy in the world, and the fridge is made possible by continually-cycled, selectively-pressurized gas. But someday, sound waves may replace this system in your fridge.
There’s nothing like a good bit of Dubai excess, but this just isn’t impressive enough to justify the profligacy: the Palazzo Versace hotel is building a beach with refrigerated sand.
