Alternative energy sources
The Problem Relevance
Our Planet faces a whole range of
global disasters at once: energetic, ecological and thermal. The use of
energy sources based on the principles of combustion of chemical and
nuclear fuel, leads to immense negative results: the burning of valuable
chemical substances, pollution and the raising of environment
temperature. More over, the amount of hydrocarbon fuel is drastically
diminishing. The fuel combustion and environmental pollution will in
their turn, result in the increase in scale and violence of thermal,
atmosphere and oceanic processes. It is expected that this trend will
expand each year.
Now a major accent is made on the
development of traditional renewable energy sources – wind-hydro plants,
solar elements, plants using waves of the sea energy, etc. Tens of
billions dollars spended for these projects. It is considered that
traditional renewable energy sources will satisfy the whole Planet
energy demands. But this is an exceedingly grave and dangerous mistake
for the Humanity. At best traditional renewable energy sources will
satisfy less than 2-15% of the Planet energy demands. The more so as the
cost energy produced by these energy sources will be very high and they
all depending of the occurrence of wind, flows, waves and the sun.
Hydrogen energy or energy sources of
other planets would not be able to prevent energy cataclysm, as they
would cause a sharpen raise of energy cost and more over would increase
on Earth temperature.
Taking into account the existing
situation, it`s urgent to reconsider the strategy of the global energy
problem solution. It`s necessary to stop misinforming the world
community by the statements that all problems of energy, ecological and
other about will be successfully solved in the nearest future. This
deadly lying for our civilization. It is only the search for new energy
sources that are able to provide energy for the whole Humanity, being
ecologically pure, low-cost, constantly accessible and independent of
the presence of wind, flows, sea waves or sunshine that can save us.
Energy sources of an environment
Now there is unimaginable
chaos in decisions of the problem with search energy sources. Police
trying to solve it with the help of banks and wars. Scientists develop
of traditional energy sources (on fuel and renewed energy sources).
Courageous inventors invent not clearly that, down to “perpetuum
mobile”. In such condition on the Planet the power problem will be not
solved.
We offer to understand with this
chaos a little and to offer the general principles extraction to energy
from an environment. These general principles should clear up as it`s
necessary to make alternative power.
As a first step we shall determine,
we can deal with what kinds of energy.
Any kind of energy has the certain
level in relation to the consumer (or to the device which should extract
energy from an environment).
Fig.1. Energy sources of an
environment.
Classification of energy by this level:
-
high-potential;
- low-potential;
- Conservative energy.
Conservative energy is that energy
which is in the inhibited condition.
Conservative energy:
- Fuel (coal, fire wood, gas,
petroleum etc.);
- Energy nuclear;
- Energy of a microstructure;
- Mechanical energy of atoms etc.;
- Mechanical energy of klasters etc. ;
- Mechanical energy of macrostructures etc.
Conservative energy can be is taken:
- at combustion,
- at nuclear reactions;
- at sympathetic vibrations.
Thus the inhibited energy in many cases to become high-potential (see fig. 1). The mankind has learnt to take high-potential energy. But as it was written above, this way can not provide all requirements for energy, and carries many environmental problems and other lacks.
At atom level and micro structures the inhibited mechanical energy use contain. This inhibited mechanical energy can be in the form of oscillations, rotations or other forms of mechanical movement. Probably, Kelly, N.Tesla, V.Shauberger etc. named one of these inhibited of energy as Sympathetic vibrations. Unfortunately, these forms of the inhibited energy remaining outside of attention of the competent researchers.
Ways of the decision of power problems
In the situation which have usually now
power problems can be solved as follows:
1. To develop energy sources extraction
low-potential energy of an environment.
2. To increase selection of energy by
traditional renewed energy sources about the help of additional
selection low-potential energy of an environment.
3. To start to develop sources of
conservative energy.
Low-Potential Energy of Environment
One of strategic solutions of the
energy problem may be the extraction of low-potential energy from
environment.
Environment can be subdivided into
macrocosm (bodies and processes from those visible to humans to planets
and galaxies) and microcosm (bodies and processes occurring at
molecular, atomic and even lower levels).
Our environment is permitted by a
wide range of energies whose potential (temperature, pressure, the
electromagnetic fields level, etc.) is higher than that of consumer
devices (the potential level of our household and industrial devices
consuming outside energy). We will call this kind of high-potential
energy. There also exists a kind of energy whose potential is lower than
the corresponding consumer devices. This energy will be called
low-potential.
Each kind of energy and matter has
lower limits when the absence of this energy or matter can be
ascertained. For example, one can ascertain the absence of gas in the
given space. Here one can use the notion of physical vacuum, but solely
in relation to the gas. One can speak of absolute zero temperature and
the absence of thermal energy in this case. Still, matter has a
limitless number of structures at the level of micro- and macrocosm.
That is why observing physical vacuum for the given kind of matter and
energy, one should not consider that this space has absolute vacuum and
is absolutely devoid of energy. The notion of the physical vacuum and
the absence of energy can be applied only to the given kind of matter
and energy. For them physical vacuum is a zero reference point (absolute
zero) of this kind of energy.
Low-potential energy has energy
potential lower than of consumer devices, but by far higher in relation
to the absolute zero of the given kind of energy. That is why the low
potential environment contains energy that can be used for consumers.
Low-potential energy permeates our environment in the form of various
energies and is both uniformly and non-uniformly dissipated in space.
Its source may be energy drawn from micro- or macrocosm, notably thermal
solar energy.
In our environment various processes
involving both high and low potential energy (Fig. 1) exist.
High-potential processes (high
temperature or pressure in fuel combustion, wind and flows, rivers
levels gradient, etc.) proved to be more accessible for power
generation. Nuclear and thermonuclear explosions have become the
culminating point of the use of high-potential energy.
A Low-potential process has so far
been paid little attention to, in comparison with high-potential energy.
At the same time, low-potential
environment possesses inexhaustible energy supplies at the following
levels:
- Macrocosm: thermal, potential
(atmospheric and water column pressure), electromagnetic, gravitational
energy, etc.
- Microcosm: (molecular and subatomic
linkage energy, as well as the energy of other links of matter
microstructure).
Only due to heat low-potential
energy, huge amounts of water evaporate and move, rivers flow and
hydroelectric plant operate. Other kinds of low-potential energy are
related to little-known or yet unknown factors.
Both are micro and macrocosms possess
inexhaustible energy supplies. It should been noted that the physics of
low-energy extraction, in contrast to high-potential energy, is yet
poorly explored for the following reasons:
- for a long time the world community
has attended to apparent and simpler methods of energy generation - the
use high-potential energy sources;
- there exists a wide range of
low-potential energy sources, as well as of possible methods of its
extraction;
- the physics of low-potential energy
extraction is almost transcendentally complicated and in some cases
modern science cannot explain a number of effects;
- general principles of low-potential
energy extraction have not been developed enough;
- up to now people not qualified
enough have been trying to develop devices and carry out research in
this field, thus giving birth to declarations that they have succeeded
in the development of perpetuum mobile, etc., which undoubtedly
discredits scientific research in the area of the extraction of
low-potential energy sources. |
Nobel winner Ilya Prigozhin has made
the outstanding contribution to development of irreversible
thermodynamics. In particular, he has theoretically shown: - under big
deviations from the position of balance, the thermodynamic system can
not come back any more to a former condition and pass in a new
condition. - under certain physical conditions thermodynamic systems can
organize itself.
