Kayra Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Racoon said: Albert Einstein secured patents for the Refrigerator, but he never developed them commercially.:) He and a student secured several patents for a type of fridge with no moving parts. They started the project after news of a family dying from fumes from thier fridge. They sold the patents to a swedish company called Electrolux (or something like that). The word is, that company burried the concepts to protect thier own business interests. Racoon 1 Quote
