Figured I'd save some cash & turn off my freezer, since there was nothing in it.
thought, wow my fridge never runs anymore, what a great idea,, next day, my milk for coffee was getting warm.


Slightly less of a good idea.

Dear Internet,
Will my refrigerator still work if I turn off the freezer section?

Internet-
No, you can't turn the freezer off and expect your fridge to keep running. In fact, the coldness in the fridge comes from the freezer. They share the condenser and cooling technology, so the freezer must remain on.

At least, now I know how cold my fridge will stay, if Off for a day .



that rhymes ^

If you take a DC generator and a DC motor that are sized similar and connect the two shafts with a coupler and then connect the wires to each other properly, and then give the shaft a spin, except for fractional losses, the motor will turn the generator and produce electricity to turn the motor and the two will tend to keep each other going.

Same concept with your gasoline car engine and an air conditioner compressor. If the shaft of the motor output is coupled to the shaft of the mechanical input of an evaporative refrigeration compressor unit, and then the hot and cold coils of the refrigerator are placed in heat exchangers in proximity with the radiator and the water jacket of the engine, and then the shaft is given a spin, the heat difference supplied by the condensing unit will drive the engine, and the engine will drive the compressor and condensing unit. If the two are sized similar and there were no friction losses or heat losses in the heat exchangers, it could attain perpetual motion, analagous to how the electric motor and electric generator could attain perpetual motion if there were no electrical resistance or friction loss. The heat engine would supply the motion for the compressor unit, and the compressor unit would supply the temperature difference to drive the heat engine.

Yes, of course. ..... and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

Sorry about the empty posts. They had too much caffeine in them so I took them down.
