They are popular on nuclear powered submarines where doing something with
all of the excess power you have available can be challenging at times. :-)

No one said cryocoolers are $10. The statement said cryocoolers are $300,
which is considerably more than Peltier coolers.

Not all peltiers are cryocoolers. Please post a $10 cryocooler.

cryocoolers are "available at more down-to-earth prices." $300 is not lessWhich has nothing to do with the statement I was responding to -- that

In this case the original question was about "alternative methods to

heat, making efficiency important.

Actually they are used on several satellites, CanX-2, and others,
for there simplicity and small size. Yes they are inefficient and
can be a power hog but in the right circumstances they have a place.

Right, but as Anthony said, they're "a waste of perfectly good
energy". (The efficiency is atrocious.)

They're also used in cell phone towers, so can be had at more
down-to-earth prices.
"Such RF filters with their integrated cryocoolers can be
found on eBay for under $300."
