Found a way to extract electricity from the Earth's heat Bashny.Net

American researchers have developed a theoretical model of the power plant, which will extract the electricity from the largest source of renewable energy on our planet – of the planet Earth. With such a sensational statement by a group of engineers at Harvard University made the pages of the publication Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Preliminary calculations suggests that the obstacles to create unusual thermal generators no. However, the simulation also showed that the efficiency of the first such installation would be extremely low. The researchers clarify – they created the model needs further improvement. Despite these reservations, the installation may be used as a renewable source of energy and produce clean electricity in some parts of the world.

The developments of mankind have successful methods for extracting electricity from various renewable sources. People use the solar light, wind energy, power, currents, and tides in order to minimize the use of coal, oil or gas. Although, most likely, completely away from carbon fuels, humanity will fail, each new development in the field of generating electricity from alternative sources helps to combat the greenhouse effect and global warming.



Scientists from Harvard University have proposed to use the fact that our planet is a sort of heat gun for space with a pretty decent capacity of 100 million gigawatts. The heat generated in the surrounding space, and you need to use it, thought Federico Capasso.

Physicist together with a group of like-minded people developed a theoretical model of generating electricity from the heat produced by our planet. In the heart device is a special thermal battery. It was established on data of heat flow emanating from the Earth. Apart from the battery part of the device consists of a special antenna-rectifiers and a set of connecting circuits. The whole system is set up so that elements of circuits and antennas begin to interact with the infrared radiation of long wave when it passes current.

The scheme of work does a power plant similar to the already known induction loops, which are successfully used in wireless charging devices for mobile gadgets or electronic tickets. As scholars have noted, antennas of this type in the nature does not exist yet. However, despite the complexity and uniqueness of the design, it is possible to create. This is a major, but not insurmountable obstacle to the creation of unique eco-friendly generator that will convert the earth's heat generation in pure electricity.
