I like the idea that there’s huge chunk of ice in the fridge and the fridge is unplugged. Might as well throw 90% of the comments on this thread out the window because of an incorrect assumption.

The Honda commercial is called Honda Cog. You might notice some similarities to Der Lauf der Dinge.

No, You Fail :@hunterje‘K, I’m going to say screw your poor grasp of science and your stupid theorizing because I’ve done this before and it works.

K, I’m gonna prove you wrong now. You apparently have no grasp of science, even that of middle school general science classes.

I’ll assume that you recieved evidence of being “cooler”. I’ll also have to assume that you did not take a temperature reading of the entire thermodynamic system. If you were to take the output of a freezer (cold air) and channeled it to another part in the same thermodynamic system, then you would have a temperature gradient in the system. the area that cold air is being channeled to would be cooler and the area around the condensor would be warmer. However, the overall temperature of the system as a whole did not change.

The system becomes warmer when electrical energy is inefficiently added to the system from an outside source (all energy actuation is inefficient). Some electrical energy is used for completing the condensor’s cycle, however, some is spent on friction, overcoming gravity, and as part of the inefficient actuation of energy from one form (electrical) to another (mechanical).

Paddy :Add to all of this the fact that whatever miniscule amount of cold air the fan manages to suck out of the freezer, is going to be blown right by the back of the fridge, where the condenser coils are located. And those condenser coils are working overtime trying to get rid of the excess heat being generated by this contraption…cancellation.

In all reality it is actually adding heat due to the inefficiency of actuating any type of energy into another form.

As Tallyho, Texasliberal, mike, andothers have said, The net result is the fans and compressor are actually adding a good deal of heat to the situation.
