No idea about it (unread) popped up from connexion. fr news site.
Thought it worth bringing up, interesting concept which Connures up a bit of "knee jerk".. but y'never know

More detail on the physics here: https://grimsby.ac.uk/documents/defra/t ... oustic.pdf

The physics is real, not convinced that this is actually any better than a standard heat pump however...

They lost me when they claimed helium was non-flammable!

3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
6x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (14.4kWh)

It may just be me being cynical again, but it looks like another startup with an idea to change the world but with very little to actually show yet.
Efficiency is probably the main issue, as mentioned by B&J reference linked to by Paul_F, but there is very little in the way of any explanation why this company can make a ore efficient solution than anyone else to my mind.

The James Webb Telescope is using a heat pump that seems to work in a similar manner.
