Pedal-Powered (Vacuum) Zeolite Refrigerator

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
narfzorkpinky asked:


The refrigerator works by creating a vacuum in a system of 2 chambers to drive a thermodynamic reaction (boiling of water) at room temperature. The lowering in vapor pressure of the water, drives the water to boil. In order to do this, the water must capture heat from a system (the inside of the refrigerator). The continued pedaling (which drives the vacuum pump down to 10^-2 atm) will ensure that the water freezes as it continues to boil. After only about 10 min of pedaling, the valve to the vacuum pump can be shut off, and the zeolite container line opened. Zeolite are common absorbers based on aluminum silicates and will swell up to 30% its mass with water. The zeolite then absorbs the vapor produced by the boiling of the water, and, in order for the liquid water to remain in equilibrium with the vapor phase, it must continue to boil (for up to a day). In general, one can achieve constant temperatures of 0-6 Celsius for 1 day with only 10min of pedaling. Now this is a real way to cool for cheap. Even ice cubes can be made, and one cool advantage of this system is that the hotter it is outside, the more cold you can generate!

I try to vacuum at least every other day, but probably should do it everyday.
I have a small child who is always playing on the floor, otherwise, it would not get done that often

CzaLeo asked:


I am looking for an inexpensive vacuume but one that does a good job. Anyone have any suggestions? I owned a Eureka Altima Turbo Bagless Upright SpinDuster. It is horrible I only had it for 2 months and now it doesn’t work. So let me know what you have and what you recommend?

Friday, November 19th, 2010
unknown asked:


My wife does a lot of hair, and we’ve been looking for a good quality vacuum cleaner to use for picking up hair off of the carpet. Which would be better to use in this situation, an upright vacuum cleaner or a canister/shop vac? Right now we have a Bissell, 12 amp, upright pet hair remover vacuum cleaner.

We have a vacuum that really stinks badly when turned on- any suggestions on possible remedies?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Fatdude427 asked:


Of course, buying a new vacuum is one possible answer- but we would like to avoid that if we can.

Sorry, I don’t know the specs on the vacuum. It is just a regular vacuum cleaner that uses bags.

It has a bad odor when turned on.

Can we clean the vacuum somehow- if we cleaned it and changed the bag, would that remedy this problem?

Thanks!

The concept can also be used in the large Stirling Engine. If very little heat escapes from the boiler or displace side of a Stirling Engine, the efficiency and power will go way up.
