Scientists Are Developing Alloy Based Fridges Running On 50% Less Energy

source: ENN | Jun 25, 08 | submitted by Ryan

European researchers say they have begun to develop fridges that are powered by a 100% alloy which will reduce their energy usage by 50%. In the last 15 years, fridge technology developers have had to consider what option would be the lesser of two evils. Environmentalists alerted them to the harmful side effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the refrigerant chemical, but alternative refrigerants require a lot more energy.

European scientists now claim that they've found the alternative to both chemicals, a solution that will reduce your fridge's energy bill by half. Trick is, they say, to use electromagnetic fields. No joking. The scientists work on behalf of BASF, the chemicals company, and a Dutch foundation called Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM).
