[2] After briefly working with one of Thomas Edison's sons[3] he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering.
From college, MacCracken went to work at General Electric Corporation, where he designed the first combustion chamber and throttled the first jet engine.
During off-peak hours, ice is made and stored inside IceBank energy storage tanks.
IceBank® offers a critical service to grid, since air-conditioning is the main culprit behind spikes in peak electrical demand.
IceMat rolls out like a carpet and connects to a refrigeration unit for quick installation at both temporary and permanent ice rinks.
[9] MacCracken also invented the SunMat roll-out solar collectors, comfort controls for space suits used by the Apollo program, the JetHeet furnace, the AquaJet water powered sump pump, the KPad for burn victims, the HI-V high velocity furnace with flexible duct system for adding central heating and air conditioning to homes and the Roll-A-Grill hot dog cooker.
MacCracken was so far head of his time, that on a “futuristic” 1953 T.V show [11] entitled 2000 A.D., he correctly predicted, in detail, the coming of the Solar Age.
