An Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) system having a turbine with an upstream side and a downstream side. Warm water under a partial vacuum is converted into a vapor, the vapor being supplied to the upstream side of the turbine at a pressure controlled by the temperature of the warm water. A condenser is situated on the downstream side of the turbine to cause the vapor, after passing through the turbine, to undergo a phase change back to a liquid, which can be used as potable water. The condenser is coupled to a source of a cooling liquid, and the pressure of the vapor on the downstream side of the turbine is determined by the temperature of the cooling liquid. A flexible floating solar collector supplies the warm liquid to the upstream side at a temperature higher than normal ambient temperature.

Provided here is a system and method for harnessing geothermal energy for generation of electricity by using complete closed loop heat exchange systems combined with onboard drilling apparatus. The system includes several devices operating separately in many different applications in energy sectors, including Self Contained In-Ground Geothermal Generator; the Self Contained Heat Exchanger; the In-Line-Pump/Generator; and preeminent drilling system for drilling wider and deeper wellbores. The system can be used for harnessing heat from accessible lava flows; harnessing the waste heat from the flame on top of flares stacks and similar cases. Also, included is an architectural solution for the restoration of the terminal lake, the Salton Sea, an area of prevalent geothermal sources, including dividing lake in three sections and importing seawater in central section with pipeline system; providing condition for tourism; treating farmland runoff waters; generating electricity including solar energy; and producing potable water and lithium as byproducts.

A method for transferring heat from a lower temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink using only the energy in the heat source and heat sink. The method uses a converting material which is adapted to receive external radiation from the lower temperature heat source, absorb the external radiation exciting an element of the converting material, non-radiatively transfer heat within the converting material by relaxing an element of the converting material, and conductively transferring heat from the converting material to the exterior of the converting material, where the heat can be used for an external process or application.

A device for energy transfer and for energy storage in a liquid reservoir has a water heat exchanger arranged on a bottom and has an air heat exchanger arranged above the water heat exchanger, wherein the water heat exchanger is arranged in a liquid reservoir that is surrounded by an inner shell which delimits the device with respect to an outer shell covering the inner shell from the bottom, wherein the outer shell is at least partially inserted into an earth layer, and the device is closed upwardly by a lid in such a way as to make it possible to generate a flow of air from an air inlet to an air outlet of the air heat exchanger.

The three steps herein provide warm heating comfort to a home without using fossil fuels. The First step involves a compost bin to decompose organic waste matter and thereby produce 165 degree F. temperature. The Second step uses a microwave oven located inside the attic to heat the polarized mineral oil of said latter temperature to 180 degrees F. The Third step involves wrapping an induction coil around ferrous pipe which then continues into rigid copper tubing outfitted with aluminum fins having pyramidal projections which impede the upward migration of warmed convection air currents.

An open-loop type heat equalization device utilizes a heat exchange fluid as the carrier to transmit the thermal energy of a natural thermal energy storage body to an temperature differentiation body. The system includes an inclined or vertical heat gaining device that exchanges thermal energy with the natural thermal energy storage body, and first and second pipeline structures through which the fluid flows by convection or auxiliary pumping to the temperature differentiation body. The first pipeline system includes an outwardly-expanded arc-shaped fluid chamber and has a relatively larger volume than the second pipeline system to provide differential resistance to fluid flow at opposite ends of the heating gaining device.
