How to pronounce “gorrie” in English

Gorrie knew that if he simply let all of this hot, high-pressure air expand, it would return back to roughly its original temperature,

Gorrie then placed this entire cylinder inside a large tank of water, finally making ice.

- Gorrie spent the next few years in financial ruin.

Gorrie was able to make ice because he wasn't afraid to step outside his own profession, medicine, and venture into a new field, thermodynamics.

As Gorrie's supply ran out, he was forced to watch his patients suffer and die.

And Gorrie wasn't faring any better.

As Gorrie turned the crank, the piston moved down, compressing the air and raising its temperature.

Patients came to Gorrie's small infirmary, jaundiced and burning with fevers up to 40 degrees Celsius.

Harrison noticed that Gorrie's machine had one big drawback.

And what John Gorrie also didn't realize is that in the first public venues in which he announces his ice machine,

And ultimately, John Gorrie, he does patent his machine, but he never makes a dime on it.

But, Gorrie's invention hadn't been completely ignored.

- In the summer of 1841, Florida Doctor John Gorrie faced a dire situation.

To cool his patients down, Gorrie couldn't turn to refrigeration because that hadn't been invented yet.

To prevent the air from being sucked out of the large tank, Gorrie added a one-way valve at the bottom of the cylinder.

So, now, when Gorrie released some of his cool air into another cylinder with a piston, the air rapidly expanded.

But, this treatment was almost impossible to sustain because it required hundreds of kilograms of ice per day, and Gorrie had only one way to get it.

But, while the cold chain was redefining America, a new invention was about to overthrow the natural ice industry, which brings us back to Dr. John Gorrie in the 1840s.

- What he ends up doing is he ends up paying editors up and down the eastern seaboard at newspapers to publish scandalous news articles about John Gorrie.

And then, beyond medicine, the same principles that Harrison and Gorrie used for their fridges are what allow us to cool things down
