I think we're using 100 year old technology. Compressors and stuff. Whatever happened to acoustic cooling? Did peltiers ever get efficient?

Did peltiers ever get efficient?
- tommiegannert 2y ago> Did peltiers ever get efficient? Not compared to gas compression. For a relaxed take on it: https://youtu.be/CnMRePtHMZY?si=jusDm81RWkDF_HJ0&t=900 https://youtu.be/CnMRePtHMZY?si=jusDm81RWkDF_HJ0&t=900 (Thermoelectric cooling: it's not great) Though part of the complaints about the mini fridge is due to lack of insulation. But he compares it to his usual fridge, which has a similar power draw as this 60W mini fridge, and there's a 50x difference in volume to cool.
