Here’s a “Science-based” Idea for You to Think About

Are scientist really testing these wind-powered pumps?  No, not unless they lack a high school education in science.

Suppose you want to cool your kitchen.  How about opening the door to your refrigerator? You may respond: Oh, I don’t think that would work.  But exactly why not?

Cooling things off means using energy taking the heat out of one area and moving it to another.  With air conditioning, that means running a system of evaporation and condensation that results in pumping that unwanted heat outside.

In the illustration at left, the heat removed is going back into the atmosphere that will remelt the ice.

Worse, for those who understand the second law of thermodynamics, is the fact that every transformation of energy from one form to another comes with a waste loss, meaning that additional heat goes into melting even more ice.
