There are 2 UK projects regarding gas compression energy storage, the more recent liquifies air and stores that along with the rejected heat in sand buit from standards parts used in the gas industry. Their round trip conversion is about 60% which IMO is outstanding for days/weeks worth of storage, these are being built with wind turbines in Scotland. The earlier project was Isentropic which was more controversial using argon gas in differential hot and cold heat stores of rubble, the tech eventually ended up with Nottingham University under further development, they also get 60% or more round trip efficiency. Also with Molten Salt nuclear Reactors, the conversion of fission energy into constant heat production which is then stored in hot salt tanks for later conversion to electrical power. By overprovisioning the number of generators up to 3 times which allows the power output to be base load and or mixing highly variable output that eliminates the need for storage when combined with intermittent solar/wind. So a 2GWh thermal reactor might produce 1GWe normally but can vary from zero to 3GWe as long as the total daily is 24GWe hr. Pretty much every MSR in development could do this and it solves several other problems as well, the power production is decoupled from the NRC regulated reactor across a "moat" separation. And the super critical CO2 engines seems to have reached a working state, with much higher temp inputs efficiency can go from 35%s to 50-60%s or so. In addition with working salt temps of around 700c or more, nuclear heat can split water into hydrogen at conversion eff of 50% with heat alone, if it were electrical produced hydrogen, you would only get 1/3 of the hydrogen. That process is the Sulfur Iodine catalytic process. Also the oxygen could also be sold and used for burning nat gas where needed at 80% eff rather than the usual 60% max eff in conventional CCNG plants, but thats another story.

Lots of people around the world realized that the type of light used can dictate the amount of energy output. I am just glad that this person was able to make it a reality. Good job

The Vehicle Research Institute at Western Washington University did this quite a while ago in one of their Viking cars (it was a green one, but I can't remember much beyond that). Not as complete as this - the technology was very underdeveloped. I always though it was technology that needed to be updated. So quite a few years ago a friend and I went through the potential of this using mantles that create light, like in a gas lamp, and applying this but never went beyond the technical hurdles. This is a very advanced version and really hits it on the head. Nothing seems out of shape and I applaud the work done. Damn good job. This really could significantly change the way we power things.

Can't this idea be used for nuclear-to-electric conversion too? There's an old concept called a "nuclear light bulb" which kind of does this. I'm not sure what the conversion efficiency of a standard thermocouple is by comparison.
@LocPH.6 ай бұрын
Yes, tried and tested, espescially using nuclear decay products. It's a type of atomic battery and thermophotvoltaics (as in this video) seem to be one of the better methods for converting heat to electricity. However, there are several reasons for why it's not widely used today and lots of those reasons are the same for this chemically fueled variant. For obvious reasons any type of atomic battery would have very limited applications, while the problems with chemically fueled thermophotvoltaics are mostly cost and reliability. No moving parts sure, but brittle materials under extreme thermal stress + thermal cycling is not what you want for long life. Cost is another issue, suitable materials for emitters, photovoltaic cells and the high-temperature structural components are not exactly inexpensive. High efficiency seems to be chanted a lot, albeit much more efficient than thermocouples (5-10% maybe?), the highest numbers I've seen for this type of system is just over 40%, which actually isn't all that impressive. Large scale combustion power plants usually achieve 50-60% and the best car engines can get about 45%.

The highest rated solar cells are at about 24% a unit 1 M by 1.6 M will produce 440 Watts never mind entropy. It is true high pressure sodium works on changeable energy states usually Mercury is added to begin the process of ignition. The heat exchanger is not much different in theory than an air conditioning Refrigeration sealed system. That's a crude example. It is difficult to follow the theme because of excessive tangentizing.

Here's a thought: Why not make a generic light cell to plug right into existing exhaust systems of ICE-equipped vehicles? Since most of the heat produced by combustion is simply wasted out the tail pipe, shouldn't you be able to scavenge some of that heat to convert it into electricity using a light cell? If the typical EGT is too low to liquefy sodium chloride directly, are there other potential sodium compounds that could liquefy at lower temperatures? Or are there other ways to make the sodium glow besides liquefying it that would require lower temperatures? Or maybe you could just _accumulate_ the heat from the exhaust gas using highly efficient heat-exchangers and concentrate it to a point where you could plug and play a light cell. Could you also potentially use a light cell to perform the same function that a catalytic converter does, thus replacing the cat? In my mind, most vehicles with ICE's should be able to fairly easily utilize light cell technology in several ways to increase the overall energy efficiency of the whole system. Because if you could scavenge exhaust heat to produce electricity, you should be able to hybridize a vehicle fairly simply - for example, directly at the crankshaft, between the engine and the transmission or directly at various driveshafts! If you could convert most existing non-hybrid vehicle platforms simply enough into a system with a high enough degree of efficiency, that could be a really cost effective way for many people and businesses to "go green" and also make great fuel savings. And if more and more vehicles can do more work with less fuel, it enables people and businesses to do more and be more productive. This should boost the economy long term, since transportation is essential for practically everything in an economy. I have very high hopes for this tech!

@@cinemoriahFPV The person on the left fits within the possible genetic variation of females. Women can have large amounts of testosterone, and a bunch of other stuff can happen, the X chromosome is all that's needed for normal male features except for the signal to activate them. Some people have an x chromosome that can function in place of a Y, and some Y's don't make males, so even if the line is drawn along anatomy you still need a DNA test, and CT scan to tell for sure. English's gendered words come from a time when we thought demons was a reasonable explanation for mental illness by most people. The only reason why we have any difference between males and females is that its more efficient for one half of gametes to be the ones with more resources, and males move around and filter genes, that and hermaphrodites are expensive when you could just do either. It has literally zero effect on you unless you what someone else is maybe have stuff to work out with a therapist. If nobody cared this wouldn't be an issue, peoples lives have been ruined by this artificial argument, and many languages have mostly gender neutral stuff and I don't see a big issue with not caring. You can also abbreviate "she" and "he" to "ee" if you don't like "they", and nobody really notices it in speech. It's literally easier to not care, and there's real issues to worry about in the world. You could be doing just about anything else. I can call you made up words too, that also solves nothing.
