    Since there's no moving parts to wear out in those Ammonia fridges. Is there a potential to recycle them for use somehow?

    Third world country's?
    I have always wondered if its possible to just build a little fire under the hot end and that would start the cycle off and would give you a cold fridge for a day for the price of a handful of twigs and leaves, or a chunk of dried dung.....
    Back country huts?

    I have used a home version of one and have put a couple of units aside for experiments one day.
    And once I found a pierced unit amongst scrap metal whitewear, wondered what the dayglo green liquid was and once I got close enough to get a wiff of the gas I KNEW!
    Its like inhaling a liquid, well actually you stop inhaling as soon as the brain realises what's hit the lungs....



    Alloy2, check out this link. Have a close look and see what it caused damage too and try and figure out exactly what caused it to happen in the first place. I think only somebody with a bit of insight could work it out from the pictures.
