I will like by way of curriosity request for a compressor,the type displays in this cover page.I mean a compressor which uses thermo to circulate or pump gas. I will be most greatful if you can react on this inquiry as soon as you can. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation. Regards.

The IcyBall, rather than being heated by the Sun, was boiled in a bucket - this drove off the ammonia inside from the ammonia/water mixture. PLacing it in service (half in and half out of a freezer box) allowed the ammonia to recombine in the mixture, causing the temperature drop. Solar versions as above are still built in tropical countries - they're not all that complex and very effective where electricity is not available and cooling is needed.
