Freon-Free AC

Three teenagers have come with an idea that would eliminate the use of Freon in automobile air-conditioning systems by relying on the Peltier effect. With their invention, Tyler Lyon, Daniel Winegar and Chad Thornley won the first-ever ‘Ricoh Sustainable Development Award’ in May. Their device taps into the car’s electrical system, using fans to blow hot air through five Peltier chips and then releasing cold air.
