Thats the thing about negative energy. The cooling itself isn't an effect of transferring energy from one place to another, but rather of simply cooling because the state of the environment is being changed. If we think in terms of energy transfer, we might say that the process of negtropic energy changes the environment in some way that requires energy to restore to a balanced system. Thus since we are drawing energy from the environment, the environment then needs to pull energy in the form of heat to restore itself to equilibrium. We are effectively moving the heat by turning it into excess electricity.

When I was working for sears, they had announced a new kind of refrigerator that worked on the idea of changing states of matter. They used an metal plate as the cooling. They would magnetize it, and then when the field was shut off, the atoms would want to jump back to their previous orientation. This switch from one orientation to another would require that the plate draw energy from the environment to return to its desired state. So there is more than one way to cool something definitely.

Those ideas are good ones too, I'll have to fall back on that if I don't figure out how to get the cooling to work to my advantage.
