Energy source: evaporation - condensation
« on: 22/01/2014 23:29:11 »
Hello!

Humanity can make up for the lack of energy and at the same time maintain the ecological balance of the native planet. How to do it? The answer is offered on three pages. This is a real chance.


Thank you for your attention.

I mean where does the heat go to?

Are you aware of this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics
And this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy

Your idea was proven to be impossible in 1915

I recall coming up with something similar to this back when I was in high school. The idea was to use a liquid with a boiling point near room temperature that would create mechanical motion when it became hot enough to boil and that motion would be used to put a kind of sun blocker over the tank, thus cooling it off and liquefying it again. Since the temperature changes were Sun-driven, it was basically a crude form of solar power. You might be able to do something similar that works with temperature shifts due to day-night cycles instead of a mechanical shade, but I'd wonder about whether any such gas-powered mechanism would be competitive in efficiency with regular solar panels.
