Ice Ice Baby

Did you know there is a museum of rocket science in Albuquerque NM dedicated to the science of sending stuff into space? This is significant. I mean without rockets how would we have cell phones or weather satellites? But what about us we were thinking? HVAC technology is a KEY to our success as the the apex species on the planet! Where's our museum huh?

Well we got one...kind of.

Dr. John Gorrie was the first guy on the planet to make what he called his "Ice Machine." His theory was that "bad air" caused disease in the tropics so he created this device to create ice and cool the environment pictured below. For his contribution to society Dr. Gorrie was not only granted a museum in his name, he got his name on a state park. You can visit his museum located in the park in Apalachicola, Florida.
