The Ice King vs. The Machine: A History of Cold
1 source
This transcript explores how the invention of mechanical cooling dismantled a global monopoly on natural ice. In the 1800s, Frederic Tudor, known as the Ice King, amassed a fortune by shipping frozen lake water from New England to tropical regions, establishing a vital but expensive cold chain. Driven by a desire to treat fever patients, Dr John Gorrie eventually challenged this empire by discovering how to manufacture ice using compressed air. Though Tudor initially suppressed these innovations through smear campaigns, the advent of artificial refrigeration eventually triumphed due to its superior hygiene and convenience. This technological shift fundamentally reshaped modern cities, revolutionised the food industry, and paved the way for critical medical and scientific advancements.
