Do you feel like your heating bills could do with a bit of a drop? Well, a new technology has emerged in the housing heating market that could help – the Acoustic Heat Pump (AHP). This incredible invention does not require any refrigerants, but instead uses a high-fidelity speaker and helium to generate heat without emitting any greenhouse gases. In fact, the AHP even has a lower carbon footprint than conventional heat pumps, with a 50% lower CO2 impact and a 20% lower energy consumption. So, it looks like thermoacoustics are revolutionizing heat pump technology! Read full article here
