Stanford scientists develop new type of solar structure that cools buildings in full sunlight - April 18, 2013
"A Stanford team has designed an entirely new form of cooling panel that works even when the sun is shining. Such a panel could vastly improve the daylight cooling of buildings, cars and other structures by radiating sunlight back into the chilly vacuum of space."
Basically today's A/C systems simply MOVE the heat around. This system DUMPS the heat into deep space.
Think: "air conditioning that produces minuscule amounts of heat as a byproduct, rather than LOADS of byproduct heat, as is the state today." In addition it also acts as a "normal" solar panel, generating electrical energy, as well as maintaining cooler solar panels, which are more efficient and longer-lasting as a result.
'Could be a possible means to control at least city- or region-wide "climate control... IN ADDTION to generating electrical power!?!
...Too bad we haven't yet come up with a better means to harvest, store, and use all that "loose" heat though....
