The Einstein–Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd , who patented it in the U.S. on November 11, 1930 ( U.S. patent 1,781,541 ).
Albert Einstein's 1930 design for a fridge never got off the drawing board. A fridge design by Emily Cummins can benefit parts of the world where electricity is not available, as it is made from scrap materials and does not require power. Trevor Baylis invented the wind-up radio to help make communications in Africa easier. Goronwy counts down ...
1983 – Orifice-type pulse tube refrigerator invented by Mikulin, Tarasov, and Shkrebyonock; 1986 – Karl Alexander Müller and J. Georg Bednorz discover high-temperature superconductivity; 1995 – Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman create the first [17] Bose–Einstein condensate, using a dilute gas of Rubidium-87 cooled to 170 nK. They won the ...

Common absorption refrigerators use a refrigerant with a very low boiling point (less than −18 °C (0 °F)) just like compressor refrigerators.Compression refrigerators typically use an HCFC or HFC, while absorption refrigerators typically use ammonia or water and need at least a second fluid able to absorb the coolant, the absorbent, respectively water (for ammonia) or brine (for water).

In 1926, Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd co-invented (and in 1930, patented) the Einstein refrigerator. This absorption refrigerator was then revolutionary for having no moving parts and using only heat as an input. [306] On 11 November 1930, U.S. patent 1,781,541 was awarded to Einstein and Leó Szilárd for the refrigerator.
