well yeah but there are more poor people in the world than military and honestly, why would you give a fuck about the force that creates and enforces a class based society?

[chollonerd]

nice to see someone care about the less fortunate.

The reaction choosing drop down menu on youtube should be a box where the reactions and the number of reactions are shown with a thumbs up sign next to each choice.

@5lkk Thanks for the comment. I did try to contact him at the same time when I posted my comment here. But alas! I received two automated reply, one from himself as well as from his secretary that both of them are off the office at that moment (& surprisingly did not come back till today at least for replying my mail). My Idea was to use the heat generated by Automobile for its own Air cooling in hot countries, which may definitely save some fossil fuel.

@mvjyothishbabu Highly unlikely the man is monitoring comments at you tube. find his presentation at ted.com . presenters bios & other info is given. I'm not sure how much fossil fuel this would ultimately save. Few will be replacing their conventional refrigerators with this unless unless changing times forces them too.

@turuanu Many of the TED presentations are quick & to the point. I believe the longest are less than 20 minutes

[turuanu]

Gee, was he double-parked somewhere?

[danieinclarens]

So he show us something that may work (or not) that is not yet completed based on old technology that was not working but a good idea but it blew up and will solve the world's refrigeration problems if they complete it and it works and people may buy it and it costs $25 or 40$. Really useful.

So where can I get one?
