Salmon are very much a cold-water fish, so they can get quite stressed when swimming up increasingly warm rivers to spawn. A new study shows that by installing “cooling stations” in those rivers, we could help the threatened fish make the trip.Continue… Continue reading Human-made cooling stations could save spawning salmon
The desert-dwelling Namaqua chameleon has a pretty neat trick – it changes skin color to stay cool when outdoor temperatures rise, and stay warm when they drop. An experimental new coating could one day do the same thing for our homes.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Bio-inspired color-changing coating could both warm and cool houses
Modern building techniques are relying more and more on passive elements to improve heating and cooling efficiencies, from placing windows in ways to either absorb sunlight or shade it out …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2023: AutoDuct Smart Air Duct
Heat pumps are taking the world by storm, and for good reason. Not only are they many times more efficient than electric heaters, but they can also be used to …read more Continue reading Heat Pump Control That Works
Hog barns typically aren’t the nicest places to be at the best of times, but try living in one during a heat wave. Scientists at Indiana’s Purdue University have developed a self-activating hog-cooling pad for just such situations.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading High-tech pig pad designed to cool hot hogs
If you’ve taken the bus in the summer, you know it can get hot while you wait on your ride, even if there is a roof over the stop. Researchers …read more Continue reading Cooling Off the Bus Stop
Heating and cooling account for huge portions of our energy consumption and environmental impact, so systems that can passively control indoor climate are important. Now scientists at Stanford have created a new type of paint that blocks heat from ente… Continue reading Colorful new paints block heat for cooler summers and warmer winters
If you’re sitting outside on a hot day, a sun shade will only help keep you cool to a limited extent. The ecto system goes further, by pumping ice water through your outdoor chair or seat cushion.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, LifestyleTags: Chair… Continue reading ecto Chair and TOPR put their users in the cold seat
