Fully-Charged Show - THIS Is The Future Of Home Heating! 01112023

Heat pumps are heralded as a super efficient and cost effective way to heat our homes. But what exactly is inside this big box that apparently works like a backwards fridge and how exactly does a heat pump work?! Scientist, Dr Helen Czerski finds out

Just have a Think - Stirling Heat Engine to Stirling Heat Pump : How is it done? 11042021

Stirling engines have been around since the nineteenth century. They are an elegantly simple way of generating power using temperature differentials, but nobody ever found a way to make them efficient enough for wide scale use. Now a UK company has developed a heat pump system based on the principles of the Stirling Engine, but with some ingenious adaptations, using no HFC refrigeration gases and with a 30% saving in energy costs compared to existing systems

Just have a Think - How can we make air conditioners 33% more efficient? Here's a revolutionary solution, 22082021

Energy consumption for heating and cooling is expected to triple in the next thirty years, as populations grow, and more people move into cities. A lot of that energy demand is used in compressing and pumping fluids. Now a market disrupting technology has been launched that increases compression speed by 38% while using 33% less electricity. Multiply that by billions of units and you get a pretty helpful contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions
