As has been pointed out, such refrigerators have no moving parts - so they are not only very good for saving energy, but also have an extremely long lifetime. NASA and the Military are prime users of such technology. I have not said that there has not been advances in the technology itself - I have said that it has been [b]in use[/b] for quite awhile now. As with most things like this, it is pretty expensive to actually mass produce - more expensive than the current Frig. As you will notice in that part that you quoted [quote]The development of such alloys is still undergoing substantial improvement, which makes the magnetic heating and cooling technology [b]increasingly interesting.[/b][/quote] It says increasingly interesting. It does not say cost-productive. That means that basically, the technology is still too expensive to be a valid alternative to the normal frig, economically. Now, if they can get the costs down to comparible with modern frig technology, then it will be interesting.
