"The device, he explained, would split hydrogen atoms into protons and electrons, and in so doing would convert heat into electricity. Most radically, it would do so without the help of any moving parts. Johnson planned to tell his audience that the JTEC could produce electricity so efficiently that it might make solar power competitive with coal, and perhaps at last fulfill the promise of renewable solar energy."
Solar Fridge Inventor Honored By Nobel Prize Winners | Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World:
"To use the fridge, you simply place perishables in the solar refrigerator’s interior metal chamber and seal it. [ed. In}Organic material, such as sand or soil, is then placed in-between the inner and outer chamber and then saturated with water. As the sun warms the organic material, the water evaporates, reducing the temperature of the inner chamber to a chilled 6 C [43 F] – an effect similar to how your skin gets cooler as sweat evaporates."
The two most innovative solar devices in recent memory do not involve solar panels and were invented by people who work outside the mainstream scientific community.
Just saying.
