Very exciting, sure hope it doesn't get tabled at some point due to loss of profit to the electric companies. America is all about corporate profit not long term results for a healthy earth.
Not really, useless idea. (And not really an invention either)
they use ammonium chloride (NH4Cl] when dissolved in water the reaction is endothermic (the water cools) how much?
15kJ per mole
Which means 0.5kg NH4Cl cools 1 liter of water by 34°C
Sounds great but the problem is
That once the NH4Cl is dissolved it doesn't cool anymore, you have to cook the solution to evaporate the water (loads of heat/energy) want while you do that the concentrated solution is dangerous
I can see it as single use emergency solution to ship a modified cool box somewhere remote, but
As a permanent solution in remote areas is utterly useless (and dangerous)
Attached a Redit basically stating the same
PS A much easier solution and cheaper would be a off the shelf solar panel + small battery to power a normal hospital fridge, this is done in Africa as well

"Free energy" does not exist.

Much needed!
