Magnetic heating and cooling | Magnetocaloric Effect
🕑 Added 2020-04-30 17:47:40 +0000 UTCI'm spent... This video was originally planned to be a relatively simple and short niche video showing the magnetocaloric effect with gadolinium. But over time it expanded to be a more broad view on how magnetism can affect temperature.
It now includes a race between an induction and resistive cooker, a short explanation of how low voltage affects their performance, an animation of a refrigeration cycle using the magnetocaloric effect etc.
It ended up being one of the most editing demanding videos on my channel for years.
The final rendering alone took my computer 9½ hours. I did not expect this so it wasn't done until the middle of the night.
I may need to invest in a more modern and potent PC. All them expenses...
Hope you like the outcome of my troubles ;)

It does not sound logical, cooling with a magnet. But it sure is a real thing. It may be a long time though before fridges with this technology is commercially available. They should in theory be more energy efficient than current cooling technology, so the 'green revolution' will hopefully push the technology forward. I would love to own one. Even just a little beverage cooler :)
Would have never thought magnets could be used to cool things down. Crazy
