The invention relates to a novel method for cooling and/or refrigerating natural and artificial processes, i.e. natural, industrial, domestic and/or automotive processes. The invention is essentially characterised by the use of melanins and the precursors, analogues and derivatives thereof in order to absorb radiation which is emitted from heat or any other source and which can be absorbed by said compounds, such that the process in question, regardless of type, is cooled and can be surrounded or have sufficient and suitable contact with the closed-geometry melanin-containing designs so as to optimise the passage of heat from one side to another. The melanin can convert said heat energy into electrical energy, water, oxygen, hydrogen and high-energy electrons, depending on the design geometry used. The by-products obtained can be varied depending on the geometry of the melanin-containing design and the position thereof in relation to the heat source. The benefits are greater with nuclear power stations since apart from reducing the temperature, providing isolation and absorbing dangerous electromagnetic radiation, electricity can also be generated. Any type of radiant energy can drive biochemical reactions inside the melanin, which produce photolysis and/or photohydrosynthesis. |
