But most likely likely it's what someone else said - the Einstein refrigerator, a single-pressure absorption refrigerator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_refrigerator Just like anything else, energy is required to run it.  Heat is energy so it makes sense. ROCKHUGGER Andy Zenker

It reminds me of a natural gas powered refrigerator my grandfather had in his welding shop. It looked just like any other refrigerator, but the energy that ran the thing came from a little gas burner in the back of it. -Don C On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 4:06 PM, Andy Zenker andyzen...@yahoo.com

I could see this working like an ice pack, where ammonium nitrite mixes with water.  Maybe the heat evaporates the water to steam so it can travel a path to the ammonium nitrite, starting the endothermic chemical reaction.  Very interesting food for thought ... ROCKHUGGER Andy Zenker Texas

Here is more proof that capitalism is dead. In a free capitalistic society, if something has an aftermarket value, the price is raised accordingly to the profit of the person in control of the value. In this case, Governor Blagovich had control over the position of a prominent Senate seat. In

I will let someone who knew Harry back in his heyday describe him. I met Harry in 1989 at a Houston Grotto Meeting. He appeared to be in his late sixties, but he showed slide shows of recent caving trips to the Sierra Madres. I was very impressed with his slideshows and his enthusiasm.

Hi David, I've only met you at TCR this past year, (tuna fish sandwich), but I've been reading your posts (not the LED ones) for the past few years and think you are a very interesting person. I love that you take such an interest in the caving community and yet claim to be an armchair caver.
