DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has combined three classic methods of cooling down the air into one invention that could save 50 to 90 percent of your monthly electricity bill (on air conditioning). The invention is called "DEVap" (Desiccant-Enhanced eVaporative air conditioner).

The action of cooling things down plays a critical part of any mechanical or electric system, because the inevitable heat, produced by friction, is the number one cause of almost instant failure. So far, different methods that cool systems have been discovered, but not to the extent of performance that engineers dream of building their computers or mechanical devices (cars, for example).
