An Old Idea Of Einstein's Being Looked At Again

Albert Einstein came up with a few good ideas in his life. Some of them are more famous than others and an old one that had until now been largely forgotten is being looked at again. It is little known by the public that early in the 2oth century Albert Einstein actually dabbled in inventions and he came up with as it turns out an eco-friendly design for a refrigerator that he and a collaborator actually patented in 1930. His refrigerator design is different from the traditional fridge in that instead of using freon, which is a chemical that is contributing to the problem of global warming worldwide, his design cools the inside of a fridge using amonia, butane, and water. It is also incredibly energy efficient. His original idea is being looked at now and studied as to whether it can be in fact implemented and brought to the market place for consumers to consider.
