Do note that Magtor is currently only claiming to be able to compress air, not air conditioning fluids / refrigerants. They add that "[a]lthough air compression is a first milestone for Magtor, the medium-term goal is to bring Magtor efficiencies to climate control engineering allowing products such as fridges, heat pumps and air conditioning units to become 30+% more efficient" [1].
It's hard to verify more on the design. They offer a lot of explanation and tests, but no independent review is given. Main question on YouTube about scrolling compressors (used in newer fridges) is anwered a bit vaguely [2].
The patent portfolio page is very grandiose [3] but doesn't care to link anything. A quick search doesn't turn up much to do with air or fluid compression, only "Magnet device comprising stators and translators" [4] and similar, which don't mention compression at all.

- nashashmi 5y agoHow can something like a rapid compressor generate SO much heat AND transfer it so quickly. Isn’t there some kind of time delay in both generation and transfer?
