Hey, Even Geothermal workers need to have fun sometimes.

[@annacarter690]

About this video. It's a good video, but has some errors. Just so you know: (1) Dry steam plants are not the "most common type" of geothermal plants in or U.S. or in the world. Flash plants are the most common in the world, dry steam fields are rare, but large, providing steam to numerous plants each. (2) In flash plants, the "fluid" (hot water and steam from underground) that is described in this video can either rise forcefully up wells under it's own power, or be pumped up the well. (3) Cooling of the hot geothermal water does not cause it to flash to steam. Rather, the very hot (over boiling) geothermal water remains as mostly water underground because of the high pressures deep underground. Being released from the high pressures at the surface is what causes it to flash. Cooling it actually causes it to revert to water and contract (as is what happens at the back of the turbine, where it passes through a condenser unit. Flashing is an expansion and the pressure of the expansion is what drives the turbine blades. (4) In the geothermal industry, the "heat transfer fluid" used in binary geothermal power plants is more commonly called the "working fluid." You can look up the definitions of both terms to understand why working fluid is the better term for binary geothermal plants.

Hi I am currently studying renewable energy engineering...can you please give me some links where you have got your information on. Thank you and have a nice day

[@annacarter690]

I know these things from over 30 years experience in the geothermal industry both as an employee and consultant and having talked to numerous geologists, drillers, engineers and plant operators for the purpose of writing educational materials about geothermal energy. The Geothermal Resources Council Library is a good source of technical information. See also the book Energy for Keeps: Electricity from Renewable Energy chapter on geothermal. There is a video (now out of date) about geothermal on the Stanford Geothermal Reservoir Engineering website. And a (now out of date) slideshow on the Geothermal Education Office website.

[@fukmoney1]

Thank you very much. I will start reading from tonight :) :D :). Can you please let me know how i can get involved? either in the design of such systems? or maybe some company names....i off course will be doing the same. I should finish my renewable enrgy engineering degree (in photovoltaics ) this year and then hopefully study a masters or go straight into the industry :)

[@annacarter690]

The Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting, along with the Geothermal Energy Association Geothermal Expo (exhibits) is in Sacramento this year, on October 23 - 26. See the geothermal.org website. Student registration fees are very, very low ($5 with proof of student status), and the opening session Monday morning is open to the public. If you could attend, you would have access to exploration and development company, service and supplier, and agency exhibitors and personnel. And there will be 2 days of technical presentations by industry experts.

I think in all I can write 9 books and make 4 games if I put my mind to it. About the universe that my game takes place in. Every thing is “me” inspired and nothing is supposed to be taken from any outside sources though a few quality’s like some of my characters having roses cheeks or a few nightmares. Sound too similar to what is happening in five nights at Freddy’s... I’ve been working on this game since 2015 and I still have the 2 polymer clay heads of the bobcat and the crocodile animatronic I wanted to make. The day I played “ five nights at Freddy’s” in 2015. But my progress has had huge set backs including loosing over 80% of my original plot line and storylines, sub plots and plot twists. Character designs and lines of code I was gonna use to program my game. .. I accidentally threw it out while cleaning.. Always double check what folders your throwing out lol...

The Geysers built 1965 , designed for 2000 Mw, that is 2,000,000 Kilowatts. Dry steam is superheated steam. Supereheatrd steam is supplied to the first stage turbine, as it expands it becomes wet steam and the droplets of water can erode blades. To avoid this the steam is diverted from the turbine and reheated and introduced to turbine downstream of the injection point. Attenuators are sometimes used to reduce the temperature of superheated steam. An ent Haley vs entropy chart for steam is useful to understand this old but widely used in power stations technology.

Sheet lightning and cloud to cloud lightning doesn't work j.) Some thunderstorms don’t have cloud to ground lightning k.) The power station must be metal aluminum, otherwise it won’t work For Electric Eel: a.) Electric eels are difficult to get because they live in the sea b.)Electric eels may use electricity for defense, so they need to wear protective clothes and handle electric eels very carefully c.)Not only using electricity, electric eels can kick someone, so they need to use an oil rig to get the electric eel and trap it in the net very tightly.

One thing we need to do is move water from the ocean back inland to places we need it and if we can do that while generating clean energy we have a chance to mitigate climate change and still have a prosperous future. It is really, really hard but it is not impossible. The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution. Thank you for your time, I would like the opportunity to explain in further detail and answer any questions

Shallow geothermal energy under your feet can be your own utility. Shallow geothermal energy is not hot rocks as the video shows. Shallow geothermal called geothermal (ground source) heat pump systems (GHPS) uses earth between 40 and 75 degrees less than body temperature to heat, cool and provide hot water to your home or business. Not hot rocks generating steam. Now if you first put in a GHPS which gives you 4 units of free energy from the shallow crust of the earth under your feet and use only one unit of energy from the electrical grid you only need half as many solar panels to achieve net-zero for a home. The utility company is the bank where you put extra electrical power when your home generates it and then buy extra electrical power when your home needs it in the summer or winter….in some cases your home is net-zero, in some homes you produced a surplus electrical power and in others you must pay for extra electrical power consumed. At least with a GHPS you save the cost of solar panels and provide 24/7/365 days of saving 30-70% energy cost, plus a quiet system which sounds like a refrigerator running, the lowest CO2 emissions of all systems, no outside compressor and fan making noise, no flame, no flue, no odors, and no danger of fire or fumes and a long life of 24 years. A ground loop is a home owner’s free utility to save half your energy bill and is found all over the earth surface from hot to cold areas. An EPA study of energy efficiency concluded geothermal energy is the most environmentally friendly heating/cooling system. The United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) concluded that geothermal energy is more efficient and cost-effective compared with conventional residential systems. Available everywhere in the United States, geothermal energy can be found underground virtually anywhere starting at 5’ underground. GHPS cost savings can be increased by geothermal energy incentives, available from federal, state, local, and utility sources which includes a 30% tax credit like solar and wind. A GHPS requires less electrical power to operate and uses the free thermal energy under your feet which is between 40 and 75 degrees not hot rocks. The HDPE pipe used in GHP system is made from natural gas the same as natural gas lines. GSHP systems work for 24 years as compared to a conventional system which works for maybe 16 years before it must be replaced. Why? All components are in the building and not outside. I have a 6,000 sf new home built in 2010 that has 2 ton, 3 ton and 4 ton Heat Pumps and cost on the average of $150 per month for electricity...lights, heating, cooling, cooking, hot water...I know it works. A conventional system would have cost me $30,000, but with the tax credit and utility incentives the cost was $29,800 for the GHP system in a big home. Own your own utility by installing a GHPS using the energy under your feet.

There Is No Shortage of Energy; There Is Shortage of Normalcy Despite increased production of energy from renewable sources, and despite the slowdown in car manufacturing, oil prices are skyrocketing. Even though fewer power plants still burn coal, coal prices are skyrocketing, as well. Natural gas prices, too, are going through the roof, and energy demand seems to outpace supply in every country and in every form of energy. Have Earth’s energy sources dwindled so drastically in a matter of months? The answer is a resounding “No!” There is no shortage of energy; there is a serious shortage of normalcy in human relations. I hope the current crisis will put some sense into humanity’s insane consumption. The energy crunch indicates that we are over consuming. We are producing too much, throwing the excess production to the trash, polluting the ground, the air, and the water, and then we are complaining that we do not have enough. It is about as sane as killing one’s parents and then pleading for the court’s mercy because I’ve recently been orphaned. It is time we reconsider everything we produce-how we divide production, profits, and goods, which services are necessary and which are redundant, and most importantly, how we treat one another. The goal of this process should be clear to everyone: survival. There is no ulterior motive, no attempt to dominate or deprive anyone of power or wealth. It is simply that reality is forcing us to take all of humanity and the entire planet into consideration. If we don’t, our entire civilization will collapse like a deck of cards. Since we still do not understand it and insist on running things the way we have always been running them-through power games-I anticipate a very cold and gloomy winter for the northern hemisphere. The energy crunch will leave many in dark and cold houses; there will be no gas for cars, and renewable energy will not replace traditional sources since there will be little sun during the winter. I hope that at least, it will make us rethink our values. If it doesn’t, next summer will be even worse than the awful summer that just ended. I know that many people are counting on the promise of renewable energy to solve the energy problems of humanity. I think they are mistaken. There is plenty of energy, far more than we really need. We could cut emissions by at least half tomorrow. But the more we have, the hungrier we become, so our thirst for energy will never be satiated, and we will never stop exploiting the planet or each other until we reeducate ourselves and start being humane toward each other. We have been behaving like spoiled brats whose parents buy them whatever they want. Now, our parents have run out of money and our childhood is over. It is time for us to mature and conduct ourselves like responsible adults, caring for all of humanity the way a mother cares for her entire family. If we think like a family, we will achieve normalcy.

But does it work night and day year round without the use of fossil fuels?

[@alma3884052]

It should as long as there is a steady supply of water that can be evaporated. You would only need fuel as a heat source for the steam, but geothermal uses earth's lava crust as the heat source, which never cools down

This is a great addition to the Energy 101 playlist, which does a good job of sharing fundamentals. Could be used as a nice "warm-up" to start a science class.

[@justkiddingwithahmad999]

Video was great and and instructive. when you use the word "flashing", it means technically, that it evaporates abruptly because of pressure lower than its saturation pressure, which isn't what happens in heat exchangers. You'd rather use evaporation.

[@christianhjelmstrom224]

10% may ot be enough for US, but can e more than enough for a country as big as it. Howeaver it becomes a a real improvement in countries with smaller population and large geologically active areas, such as Japan, Italy and Chile, wich could replace nearly all (if not all) it's energy needs with geothermal energy.

I wish there was some way to get geothermal heat from a giant caudrolan beneath Yellowstone National Park. The heat could be used to produce electricity that would run a refrigeration network that can reach parts of a degree near 0` Kelvin. It could save billions of dollars from the destruction of a Super volcano and provide lots of government jobs. It's science, economics, and humane.

[@evanhainey2101]

[@SaraMastros]

Is that a basketball hoop at 1:07?

[@nishantgilatar]

This could be a long reach, but will geothermal plants lead to lowering of the Earth's temperature directly? They will of course reduce the burning of fossil fuels and thus reduce the climate temperature indirectly. But since this involves withdrawing heat directly, can it help reduce the surface temperature?

[@Nikifuj908]

Since you are using water that was already in the Earth, probably not. They are experimenting with supercritical CO2 as a fluid medium instead of water, as part of carbon sequestration. At least that's how I understand it.

[@ashibee3877]

The earth is in layers..each layer warmer than the next..borrowing a little bit of heat from 1 layer really wouldn't do much..when the layer beneath it is still radiating a constant temperature..like putting a straw in boiling water..the water is still going to boil ..even if u drink some out of it..only the straw amount will cool down..not what's still in the pot..

[@abbiharb8289]

It would take a long time. I'm talking 200M years to exhaust the earth's heat this way!! So nobody's worried! With Ground Source heat pumps, seasonally you can drop the ground temp two degrees, so you have to watch where you drill.

[@jamesmaher8595]

Hey - don't stop now! Answer the most obvious question of all i.e. why hasn't the world adapted to this obvious source of energy?

[@cluddlesclaimscraniums6841]

Because its very difficult to dig down that far. You've gotta get down to about 10 kilometers which our current drill bits currently are capable of digging into effeciently. At the moment theres an idea to use a microwave laser to drill down once traditional drillbits become ineffective.
