Imaging if this technology could cool a data centre.

Edit: I was not involved in this project. You are wasting your time asking me questions.

What sources?

The article doesn't list any. All it says is they reached a cooling temperature of -12°C, but has no information on the energy used to achieve that.

Google "elastocaloric heat pump efficiency" thats the technical term.
