I'll put out front that I'm a wannabe permie, currently an apartment dweller dreaming in a soul sucking city.

That being said, I found an interesting article about a NESCOT system developed by Saudi Arabia. Link at the end of the post.

It uses a  closed system thermodynamic cycle with an endothermic reaction mixing ammonium nitrate with water, which provides cooling, then uses solar power to provide the energy to separate them back out.
No electricity required.
Given a warming planet, cooling is going to become more important.

Has anyone else seen this, used it? Or other systems?
