The largest waste heat suppliers that I have found are Brake disc foundries. I proposed the generation of hydrogen to the brake disc foundry, but they laughed at me...However...Steam blown through Iron particles generates enormous amounts of hydrogen rich steam....An old book that I have "Industrial Hydrogen" by Hugh S. Taylor D. Sc 1917. clearly outlined how to create hydrogen from steam and Iron. A brake disc foundry has both waste heat and scrap iron...Which would be a modern way to move toward a hydrogen economy. The issue at heart is simply this...Corporations are ran by stupid idiots.

[@allenhammer7923]

Just because you get degree does not mean you are inventive. Most folks learn how to do something but that does not mean they know how it works they just repeat actions and can not carry on a conversation of how to improve it.

[@JSabh]

The danger associated with high temperature, iron oxide, and hydrogen is why they laughed. It would never fly with any level of safety. The same reason every petroleum plant exploded is because they use a spark wall to re-crack the gas. Then oxygen creeps in somewhere and the plant blows up. Look into it, it's very interesting.

[@kennethferland5579]

The amounts of iron grindings from manufacturing processes is minisculte compared to the amount of hydrogen needed, also waste iron is currently recycled so diverting it to make hydrogen will just raise iron smelting needs, and iron smelting is carbon intensive. Their is stupid idiocy in the world but one should do their own homework before accusing others.

[@grinchyface]

I don't understand why a brake disc foundry would want to produce iron oxide. They spent all this money popping the oxide off of iron, why would they spend money to reverse the process to produce hydrogen? Then what would they do with the iron oxide? Send it back to a refinery and pay them to turn it back into iron at a greater expense energetically and economically? No matter how that's sliced, the physics don't work. And if the physics don't work, the economics can't work.

[@Coen80]

Corporations are run by, most of the time, mediocre people. Not idiots, but certainly not the bright minds either. The company was just laughing at you because it is more expensive. And as long as fossil fuel remains cheaper industry will keep polluting.

[@michaelsohocki1573]

I live in San Antonio, where we have a huge number of 110F days. The heat part, if that's what the exothermic stuff is for-- is taken care of here--if I could ship you 40% of our entire net heat here, they'd build a memorial to me. As it is, nobody here would touch their car with the bare skin, because it will literally burn you. Crayons and plastic objects left in the car melt and warp, open the door and you can smell the carpet cooking. You can rig up, in about fifteen minutes, a solar collector (such as the parabolic mirror, or solar cooker, or fresnel lens, or whatever) that will knock your socks off. I guarantee you can fry chicken with it. The problem, it seems to me (as you've mentioned before, Rob), is the cost of the Peltier device to perform this conversion at any meaningful scale. So here's the big ask. Do you think it would be possible to create LARGE SCALE peltier-like devices on the cheap, to make USE of all this ridiculous heat we have? (I will happily send half of my proceeds to Great Britain.)

Hi Robert, I trailed a sodium acetate tri-hydrate heat battery for a certain company - for one reason or another they all failed - Over all, I have now had 7 x 9kWh units, the last one I am awaiting collection of but I will not be doing any more trials. Its back to a simple divert excess generation to an immersion element in a cylinder for me. Shame, the idea in principle is good.

I love my solar cooker. I would love to have more uses like this

[@szogun1987]

I think it may be a solution to my problem. I have a summer house. It has floor heating to keep it above freezing in winter. Heat comes from a large wood burning boiler and is stored in a 1000 liter water heat battery. The idea was to heat it up once a week if winter would be cold (like -25C) and once for 2 weeks when it would be around freezing point. The problem is the boiler and battery are stored in the old cowshed. Temperature there is low (-5 when there is -20 outside) heat battery dumps it's heat to the cowshed. Especially when it is almost fully charged. As I have a lot of wood ash I can have plenty of potassium carbonate and use it as a second layer (like once water battery would be above 65 degree I can start drying KCO3 and once it would drop below 15 I can put water into it.

[@mpgtrikes]

Why not do the drying by pulling a vacuum with a little bit of solar photovoltaic and a scroll compressor, add a little bit of a solar thermal heat of some sort to speed the process up. A lot like modern high efficiency washer dryer dries the clothes using vacuum

Great information, thanks. I'm intrigued by the fact that urea will cool down when it gets wet. Perhaps we can make more efficient water cooling devices this way. Perhaps it can be used to cool down solar cells on Australian rooftops without using too much water.

[@thekaxmax]

notable issues, including with other 'no-cost' energy sources, ir energy density and source amount. Example: these would take an amount of zeolite equivalent to the size of a shed to power a house unless you're really frugal. And to recharge by drying in the sun would take either a long time or a huge area, as your sun collector would need to collect enough energy to dry the zeolite or whatever in under a day. And you'd need enough storage and water for a few days. So now you need to roof over half an acre...

[@BB-sm8ey]

You are being too absolutist. You only need a few tonnes for periods where solar isn't providing enough input. It's also the reason such systems typically send damp air through the system to get hot dry air out of the back.

[@thekaxmax]

@@BB-sm8ey Depends on the task. If you want a short-term 'battery backup', yes--but it still needs to be in thin layer or layers to dry fast from absorbed sunlight. That 'couple of tonnes' could still take up a tennis court or more, and if you're using sun-drying only you need a bunch more than that. Now, if you set it up with sun-concentrator mirrors and vertical panels it'll take us a lot less space, but you're adding cost and infrastructure. However, you may need to do it that way to get the energy back out usefully.

[@BB-sm8ey]

@@thekaxmax Hi. If you do the maths it comes out differently. If it interests you look for papers on a institutional install in München/Haidhausen. They used seven tonne setup. As a rough rule of thumb it's about 1tonne per 100qm of reasonably well insulated living space (not passive home standard).

[@AutoNomades]

@@BB-sm8ey Nice to have some metrics ! What about the minimum "temp for some times " needed in some case (like with sodium acetate heat pack system) ? About the surface, I was thinking it could be interesting to use the south side roof of the house, and the storage could be in the back, in an unused side of the house . Using the roof, or simply collecting the dry and hot air heating under the roof and going out by the upper vent. There, it would dry kind of linked pillows/conveyor belt full of zeolite. When dried enough, the conveyor would run enough time to expose the next "pillow" to the driying place, etc. They'd go to the north's storage, and be used later when needed. A more basic way could be a solar hoven with a standard meshed box full of zeolite, that we could take off by hand in a waterproof storage when reloaded, then take back into the woodstove, and let drip water on it to release heat when needed.

[@Biggles732]

Potash may be strategic ly necessary however for agriculture. Around 1979 the use of sodium sulphide for the same purpose was discussed in popular science and a house constructed using itfor heating .

Some KZbin creators have THE BEST viewership with the most interesting and informed views. If there was a KZbin comment reader app/site, I'd spend even more time reading them than I already do. These "heat difference gradient" devices and methods are everywhere with great variety as Robert shows in his vids. Business would prefer we only use their "commercially profitable" products to supply energy/heating. Heat-pumps ("reverse fridges") and Stirling Engines would definitely make a massive contribution to reducing fossil fuel use (though they would possibly enlarge the chemical/chemistry industries ... and increase their energy use). Commenters have mentioned ways of producing hydrogen for the nascent ("burgeoning"?) Hydrogen Economy. We should all remember that the processes we take for granted today had to be worked on (and then have been developed and refined) over decades (and centuries). Robert produces absorbing content with ideas and knowledge I don't get from any other (engineering) channel. Just hope he never has to do those cringeworthy in video ads like some of my other favourite creators are now doing.

The exothermic properties of Soda Lime are used in a device called "The Little Dragon". Developed by cave rescue teams, as a spin off from diving re-breathers, to prevent/treat hypothermia. Its a container holdind a quantity of soda lime into which is squirted a small ammount of CO2 - from a home brew keg - the CO2 activates the soda lime, and the heat produced is used to pre-heat outside air, which is inhaled by the casualty, which helps to raise their internal core temperature.

[@HalEvans]

Robert, as always well researched, very informative and a compelling presention. THANK YOU. My main concern and one I've raised before is being able to integrate any system, no matter how simple or inovative, with established 'on grid' infrastructure. To emphasise my point, do you supplement your own electrical supply with any device? With your expertise and access to tools, parts, etc. I would've anticipated a power wall storage type energy sink with an array of potential inputs, fed by your wind, solar peltier, metal air battery, etc. prototypes. If you haven't started to harness the power you're making, how viable is doing so and what chance do we stand of doing this ourselves?

[@NickAskew]

I'm living a bit further north in Leiden. I really think that this is a great idea. Many years ago we invested in solar panels but now the capacity of the houses with panels oustrips demand. Imagine if the grid could store the excess and deliver it back when the sun has gone. I'd happily pay for such a service rather than having batteries in my own house.

[@fransvanberckel3789]

I would say, use these panels to store the heat. With sand it will last for an half year. And use that energy when it's cold outside. Search Google for Rijswijk TNO thermal, for details.

[@troywhite6039]

The problem with it as a service your adding costs and the savings goes out the window yet again, then also the transport of power also adds to the cost, so much for trying to provide cheaper power.

[@NickAskew]

@@troywhite6039Yes, of course the off site battery option won't be as efficient as on site. But if the site of the battery is relatively close to the source of the power (within the same city or town) then losses are not going to be as significant. Many countries already have pumped hydroelectric storage as an offsite option. Obviously the Netherlands is not going to be able to to do that, but a heat storage system is going to be just one option. Now my house does have room for a battery and I'm OK with that as an option. But the option of grid storage would mean that people who are not so fortunate could at least play a part in solar even now that we are beyond the grid capacity.

Most of the "energy" in fosil fuel is wast heat

[@kennethferland5579]

Agreed, moving around such low energy dense materials is completly prohibitive. It needs to be recharched at the point of use. I Think zeolities have potential a long term backup heat sources, they could be dried by directing the homes normal exhast air over them to slowly dry them at littleo or no cost. It's not gonna be a homes main heating system, but it may act to fill a winter heating gap which would otherwise be filled with things like diesel generators.

[@FuhrChris]

So, If I took a stainless steel (clothes dryer drum small used unit) and put it inside a large air duct, then in theory rotating the wet Sodium drox would lower it's own temperature creating an AC effect?

[@kennethferland5579]

Unless its's just coming up out of the ground in endless amounts (aka Geothermal) heat at a few hundred degrees is useless for power generation as per Carnot heat engine efficiency, so the only appliction for these exothermic reactions is direct heat usage. Only a small number of industrial processes (food processing mostly) can make use of heat at that temperature, which means the home heating market is all that's left. And even their I only really see water based exthermic reactions being attractive as a backup heat source, if you have had a lull in renewable energy production in winter (the infamous dunkelflaute as the Germans say). But the idea of moving the stuff around back and forth to industrial sites for recharge is a non-starter, better to recharge it at home by simply venting the homes normal exhast air over the materials to dry them again. Zeolites can be dried by room temperature air of sufficiently low humidity, it just takes a long time, but this is ok in a backup system which will be used just a few times a year.

This is great, but not practical for its cost and complexity if one has a 10ft by 10ft area to dig. Coiling the pipe, depending on the diameter of course, will determine how large the hole needs to be dug. Not water, just air being radiantly cooled or heated by the earth.

Sure but then you need a constant water source, this has become a hydrothermal process if where to store the water and at what costs. Think size and volumes. Where do you store your homes lake and everyone elses?

If you keep adding water does it stay hot?

[@101jchristensen]

Sadly, no 😊. Chemical reactions occurred between individual molecules of the two things reacting. So let's say the reaction is 1 molecule of zeolite reacts with 1 molecule of water and gives off heat. If I add 100 molecules of water to 100 molecules of zeolite, all the water and all the zeolite will have reacted and additional water will have no zeolite to react with. Now If I started off with 200 molecules of zeolite and added 100 molecules of water, THEN adding more water would produce more heat. But at some point, the water molecules will run out of zeolite molecules. At that point the zeolite will need to be dried out so it can be reused to produce heat. Does that make sense?

[@justtinkering6713]

@@101jchristensen So after the steam stops is there still water remaining? Then you have to apply more heat to dry it out?

[@williamgidrewicz4775]

Sort of like space which is very cold and our planet which is warm. The difference in temperatures plus the earth's magnetic field lines which trap what is it hydrogen and oxygen ions? or just one or the other? This earth, in the vast cold of space, is so to say a giant battery!

Wait, 2 in the Netherlands and 1 in Holland? So that's 3 in the Netherlands/Holland?

[@johnruckman2320]

So how much would it take for the average home, farm, that can be continuously recycled in both of the endo and exo thermic devices? What would the costs likely be like? Could something like this be a game changer in the bantered shtf scenario or biblical end times scenario where the sun and moon go dark. It does look like something that could be used in one of those disaster or steam punk video games. Come to think of it, I've never seen a video game that used science, engineering, rednecking devices.

"Oxygen Not Included" is all about trying to make most out of the environment your colony is spawned in. A lot of fun but also pretty exhausting to play.

Cool vid, but maybe sort out the microphone volume levels, they're all over the place

Heat only works for less than 2 minutes. It isn't enough for a refrigerator or stove top.

Thank You!!! We all want a greener environment, and what you propose will help a lot!!! but I can one up you, and say that in the times of ancient Lemuria we utilized dielectric piezo electric quartz crystal nodules, and had vehicles and craft of every conceivable configuration that operated under magnetic levitation of some sort, and we had cities that floated 10 miles up in the Stratosphere!!! And the Bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. will never want to see this temple, and hundreds of additional holy temples go online again, after more than 10,000 years of being a dormant technology. This kind of technology does not lend itself to commercial enterprises, or War!!! it's holy like Jesus is Holy!!! Just Be Holy and Namaste!!! Kelly!!! and in my past incarnation I was a Energy Healer and the non-gendered late Empress Mary of The Temple Lemuria, that sank way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean more than 10,000 years ago. Have A Beautiful Day!!! Lightworker, and Energy Healer, and Everything Too!!! Take Care!!! Bye!!! Bye!!! Bye!!!

Yikes.

I Bet You Waited Your Whole Lifetime To Hear Someone Say A Thing Like. For Those Words To Come Out Of My Mouth Or, Any Bodies Mouth, For That Matter!!! But I Was Sincere, and Meant Every Word Of What I Said. So You Go On And Exclaim In Holy Terror!!! I would see the world I talked about, and you would run from it, Shrieking in Terror!!! I'll still hope you have a beautiful day!!! and I want to see Mother Earth survive the folly of man, and global warming,. The kind of technology I represent will not contribute to greenhouse gases, like fossil fuels do today, and everyday. If all of this wasn't enough, I'll tell you I eat a Vegan Diet, and I'm a Teatotaler, and I detoxified my Pineal Gland, and am psychic. Which you would have probably preferred not to hear. I Send My Best To You!!! Have a Beautiful Day!!! Sincerely, Kelly @@101jchristensen

How much power could you get out of a 6 cylinder Sterling engine? LOL.

[@kevin_6217]

If you ACTUALLY think about it, it's a reeeeeeealy stupid idea. How about you try to harvest the extra heat from factories and turn it into electricity, rather than making a wet gravel machine?

[@ancapftw9113]

Because you would have to attach a power plant to every heat source, and would only get 30% of the power as electricity at that temperature. Better to just store the heat and use it to heat during winter.

[@corinneyeager]

Could a person use this in, say , a sand battery to heat the sand and a steam engine Obviously I'm no expert ... Seems like several containers in a large sand container could heat it at least to heat a room, and several of those wheel things on top for elect. To run icebox....

Very interesting makes me think about the short video of a USA man who got a car working on water alone but was killed and conspiracy theory’s where abound. Although I scoffed at it at the time I m thinking he might have been on to something now
