Probably the most interesting and exciting new energy idea in over a decade because it looks viable unlike the many MANY to come before it, its just a matter of getting the cost of drilling, or in their case vaporizing the rock down which should have a lot of scope to do so. They already frack with similar technology, extract what is there for X years and then its done while this could carry on for decades longer making heat and energy.
I hope they get funded up the wazoo and get this idea proven and scaled faster than any technology in history.
Your technology is awesome. Go Eavor!!
This needs to be implemented in northern communities in Canada. What is holding up the roll out of this technology?
Cost. I'm a huge fan as well. But the upfront cost to drill that deep is a big one. Your energy is essentially free for 30+ years, but investors want a pay back in 5 to 7 years, and with that type of amortization Wind and Solar are much more attractive.
What's the average service life of one of these systems? . . . Do they degrade over time?
I've watched a few videos on the subject and done some reading, there is the possibility over time that rock cools a bit and doesn't fully heat the water as much. And the hole is coated to minimize leakage into the surrounding rock, so that coating would eventually degrade and need to be replaced I suppose. And super hot water does degrade the pipes at the surface. The hot water will leach salts out of the rock that will need to be filtered and the fiters replaced. But compared to any other form of energy this is next to nothing in ongoing costs, it's all about drilling the holes in the first place, after that it's essentially "free" energy. They say 30 years plus in the video, but there's no moving parts, the natural thermal cycle means they don't even need a pump. no radiation gradually degrading it container. Better than solar panels which slowly degrade over time in sun and rain.
I wonder if there are academic papers that elucidate what you have written. Perhaps with costs and life expectancy vs. the same for solar and wind. Another source that I think is majorly underutilized is wave action - although there are some installations that are providing significant power. And, we have lots of coastlines. Tidal action could be used, particularly in the northern and southern latitudes. I know that there's quite a bit of loss over the long transmission lines, but if the energy is nearly free, what does it matter. In the long run, I think we need to exploit all of these options, including small nuclear reactors. I'd like to see humanity save oil for pharmaceuticals, plastics and lubrication, rather than using it just to generate heat.
Have you ever done drilling on foothills of mountains to get more overlaying Rock to reduce drilling cost?
Let me know what you thing of this idea.
Sell to Finland, guys! There are tens of district heating networks, which will be willing to swap the fuel costs for your solution
The difficulty in the USA is cooling. The A/C system requires much higher air circulation than forced hot air heating.
It's impossible for greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution.
Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface.
Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.
0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2.
The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.
