Talk:Magneto-calorific effect

The article currently claims

"The Magneto-calorific effect produces a change in temperature when a ferromagnetic object temperature crosses the Curie Point. Above the Curie Point the material becomes merely paramagnetic, this phase transition to the paramagnetic state can be exploited to turn heat into electricity."

This seems obviously wrong to me. Say I cool some object, starting above the Curie transition temperature, cooling it until it is below the Curie transition temperature. *Of course* that object will now be colder than when I started. But it seems to me that *I* am cooling that object.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Magnetic refrigeration to fix the article. (I thought that the Curie transistion temperature is constant, but perhaps it shifts slightly depending on something else? Like what? Barometric pressure? Electric field?) --DavidCary 02:56, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Merge
This article is a duplicate of 2 others, I will propose also a merge between magnetocaloric effect and adiabatic magnetization later on —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Grandonia (talk • contribs). moved from prod notice by NickelShoe (Talk) 19:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed the prod to a merge request. There's no need of deleting this article--at the least, it should be a Redirect. NickelShoe (Talk) 19:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
