Jer et al,

You know you mentioned 'thermodynamic' units such as...
Well what about Heat Pumps? They have COP of 4-6 (400 to
600% efficiency) compared to electrical energy input to
heat output. If we could somehow convert this 'LOW' heat
to electrical power.. at an efficiency of 50% or higher
then we still would have 200% or greater overall electrical
input to output. It would be quiet an impressive power
plant if someone could implement it. However, extraction
of energy from low thermal heat has ALWAYS been a limitation
in the thermodynamic world. We would be converting low
grade heat into electrical power... unheard of. But to start
.... the Heat Pump is already built and efficiencies are
pretty high these days.

Anyone know of how to convert low grade heat (~140 F) to
electrical energy with 50% or so efficiency?

Your comments:
"------------------------
In my view, BARRING direct tapping of ambient energy
to provide as much energy as is necessary at any
moment in time, then for a start, we would need an
accumulation system consisting of;

1) the energy accumulator
thermodynamic such as Minto/Schlictig/Griggs/Clem
high voltage such as Hyde/Testatika/Lambertson
solar cells/wind/etc.

2) the storage system
(two banks, one to charge while the other is in use)
capacitor banks
battery banks

3) power distribution
AC lets you use off the shelf devices so you need
inverters
DC is more efficient over short runs so you could use
RV type appliances (more expensive) or modify your own

The above is of course a stepping stone until we can
figure out how to extract all the power we need as we
need it, as from the suspected aether/zpe tap.
