epa has already shot all that down
you are fined and jailed if you try to build long lasting easy to repair inexpensive appliances in the usa
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented strict new rules under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act and Section 608 of the Clean Air Act that significantly impact refrigerators, particularly in commercial and household applications.
Refrigerant Phaseouts:
R-410A (GWP ~2088) and other high-GWP refrigerants (e.g., R-404A, R-507A) are phased out for new equipment.
New systems must use refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) ≤ 700, such as R-32 or R-454B.
January 1, 2025: Manufacturers must comply with new refrigerant rules.
January 1, 2026: Installation of pre-2025 equipment is no longer allowed.
...
Venting Prohibition:
Intentional venting of refrigerants is prohibited under Section 608.
...
Leak rate thresholds:
20% leak rate in commercial refrigeration triggers repair within 30 days.
Recordkeeping required for 3 years after equipment retirement.
...
Compliance for Facility Managers:
Adopt digital monitoring systems for real-time leak detection.
Ensure technicians are Section 608-certified.
Use software-driven compliance tools to track reporting and repair timelines.
These rules aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and align the refrigeration industry with national climate goals. Non-compliance may result in fines up to $69,733 per day.

Would it be possible to build a fridge that simply uses electricity to conpress and expand air or water and then move the air or water in a loop without using any fancy chemicals?
@shortstories @davesbit While the HATERS can’t even plug in a toaster, I’ve already built the GREATEST, the MOST POWERFUL cooling system in history — the TRUMP CHILLER 9000! Just take a STRONG box, slap on the BEST Peltier modules, hook it to 12V American power, add some heat sinks like a CHAMPION, and BAM — ICE COLD in SECONDS! No instructions needed — only WINNERS like YOU can do it! This is how we MAKE DIY DOMINANT — 🇺🇸💥
sure, it just wouldn't be very efficient (so maybe a lot bigger and use more electricity and not get as cold) i used to like using air tools because they got cooler instead of hotter as they were used...

My husband loves to play with liquid nitrogen.
