$149,789Benefit:
Magnetocaloric refrigeration is the next generation of refrigeration technology and a new development in materials science, which could render current refrigeration systems obsolete and lead to far more efficient designs. The resulting product will be a highly marketable cryogenic refrigeration technology that can be used in a wide range of applications, from security applications and other DOD payloads to environmental monitoring. This refrigeration, once proven viable, could also be used in any possible application where cooling, heating, or power generation is used today, such as MRI machine magnet cooling and other medical applications, cooling of IR cameras, gas liquefaction and use in telecommunications cooling.
