cooling

[mike89]

does anyone know of a device that decreases in temperature as electricity runs through it?

A fridge? But...seriously, I don't think it is possible since AFAIK electricity produces a little bit of heat when it passes through something.

well thats what i figured, there would be nothing, but there are may things that i have found that i did not know existed so i was just wondering

There is a thing to cool the processor of the cpu. But it only cools one side. It transfers heat to one direction. But you can say it cooling..

Cooler paste or a heat sink does not cool an object due to electricity but because the material leads heat away from an object being heated by electricity. There is no current running through cooler paste.

I don't think there is any mineral/material/substance on Earth that will "decrease in temperature as electricity runs through it". But if you find one I'm sure you'll win a Nobel Prize .

i might have to work on that one then

You are wrong tormod. I dont tell the past. Its name is Peltier Coolers. When electricity runs, it transfers the heat one way...

if you could find what exactly it is or give me a link it would be really cool!
