   Do you never read the posts you are responding to?   
      
   Einstein and Szilard's patent was bought by the Swedish company   
   Electrolux, which built and sold a lot of absorption refrigerators.   
      
   In 1953 (when I was a kid) my parents bought   
   an Electrolux absorption refrigerator.   
      
   I and thousands of other people have seen working fridges   
   based on Einstein and Szilard's patent.

   Why would they do that when they could buy a working version of   
   Einstein and Szilard's absorption refrigerator from Electrolux?   
      
   That was what my parents did, and I can assure that it   
   worked for many years.

   Here is Einstein and Szilard's patent application:   
      
   https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/53/e9/74/2cde176701f   
   b8/US1781541.pdf   
      
   I quote from it:   
     "A suitable refrigerant, for instance butane,   
      in liquid form is contained within evaporator 1.   
      An inert gas, for instance ammonia, is   
      introduced into evaporator 1 through conduit   
      30 and distributor head 31. The refrigerant   
      evaporates in the evaporator.."   
      
   The "inert gas" is ammonia, so from whence have you got   
   the idiotic idea that the "inert gas" is molten metal?   
      
   There is no way you can read the patent application without   
   understanding that it is a description of a refrigerator with   
   no moving parts.   
      
   So you have not read it.   
      
   Do you not understand how stupid it is to think that a patent   
   application which you haven't read, really is a description   
   of a fast breading reactor?   
      
   But why have you not read it? Can't you read?
