A Refrigerator That Works By Stretching Rubber Bands

If you ever find yourself in a post-apocalyptic situation where you have no electricity with which to run your refrigerator then you're gonna be really glad you watched this video by Applied Science before it all fell apart.

In the video host Ben Krasnow discusses the fact that rubber bands feel strangely cold when they contract, then Ben shows us how he put this odd property to work making a rubber band powered mini-fridge.

Ben's creation is more of a proof of concept than a revolutionary new form of refrigerator technology, but it does seem to work so take notes that'll survive the fall!

lol, the serious attempts of explaining this are actually pretty funny... the funny ones, even better...
but one must not forget the origin of an iceberg.... they come from glaciers... I imagine it was left on the glacier, which then broke off and floated away as an iceberg...

Maybe the iceberg was fully submerged, attached to a larger piece of ice, with the wood floating above it. Then the iceberg calved off and came to the surface, lifting the wood onto itself.
