minus-squareperestroika@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-26 days agoThis was a interesting read. I didn’t even know that electrocaloric materials existed. :) Having read the explanation of how it works, I think the biggest difficulty waiting for them on the curve is achieving considerable levels of power. But they seem to firmly believe that they can get past an instrument cooler to a residential heat pump.
