Patent US9032731B2. issued 2015-05-19. Retrieved from https://hdl.handle.net/1911/81076.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/81076A method for powering a cooling unit. The method including applying electromagnetic (EM) radiation to a complex, where the complex absorbs the EM radiation to generate heat, transforming, using the heat generated by the complex, a fluid to vapor, and sending the vapor from the vessel to a turbine coupled to a generator by a shaft, where the vapor causes the turbine to rotate, which turns the shaft and causes the generator to generate the electric power, wherein the electric powers supplements the power needed to power the cooling unit.29 ppengUtility patentUS9032731B2
