Pedal-Powered (Vacuum) Zeolite Refrigerator
« on: April 23, 2009, 07:01:03 PM »
Hello All,


My question is about this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpEG0ATylzo which seems simple enough to make, but very vague.


It seems that vacuuming the air out will cause the water in the refrigerator to boil as the guy says. At this point you close the vacuum and open the line to the Zeolite.



  1. If a tube goes into the water, won't vacuuming cause water to go into the pump?
  2. After exposing the Zeolite to the vacuumed water, will the water become ice?


I know this doesn't exactly fit any categories here at fieldlines, but I'm sure there is someone here with enough understanding to explain this to me. I have searched the web and wasn't able to come up with a clearer understanding of how the connections are made.


Thanks for all of your help.
