oh look another bullshit startup intended only to appear game changing long enough to enrich some greedy founders. im sure this will fundamentally change the world of heat pumps for the better. totally.
Barocalorics is a really important field right now. I don’t actually think this category of tech is bullshit based on the core research I’ve been following.
Maybe this particular startup is, but the field is actually ready for a breakthrough. We need startups to take the risk of doing an initial manufacturing run or nothing will ever happen.
This is the breakthrough. Now they need to prove it as a product and scale it up for manufacturing.
You're gonna feel real silly when you look around and see the rest of us all squeezing our new refrigerators to keep our groceries cold.
