There is one in virtually every home in the United States and Europe, yet the refrigerator has remained largely unchanged (save for differences in size and scale) since its invention. Instead of conventional refrigerants, this newly-refined mode of refrigeration involves metal and magnets, works at room temperature and is destined to change home cooling worldwide.

Refrigerators are notorious polluters and energy consumers, but this innovative use of magnetic refrigeration will solve both problems. Though still under testing, the idea is that this technology will soon be available on the open market in the form of new home refrigerators, air conditioning and other cooling units units outfitted with magnetic elements.
