      I’m watching because I wanna make a Fnaf fan game but it’s my own story with my own lore... something blows up at the end of the story ;) .
      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...

    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.

      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.

      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.

    FYI: there are 2 ways of geothermal energy. 1 is the way you show, to use the natural sources of hot water. 2, however, involves drilling a hole and inserting 2 pipes connected at the bottom and lowered by a metal wire and continuously extended by adding pipes much like oil drilling. In the end the 2 pipes are long enough to lead water down and hot water up so to exploit this for geothermal energy also. Thus, geothermal energy is now available, cheaply, to all people on Earth. Remember to insert fluids to secure good contact for the warm hole so that water becomes hot quickly to ensure LOTS of geothermal energy return! Best wishes.

    • @markedwards9247
      @markedwards9247 2 года назад +4

      Inserting fluids is the one thing we should not be doing. This fractures the crust, leading to who-knows-what problems. It is also completely unnecessary. Although fluids would tranmit heat to the pipe faster, they would also lose their heat proportionally quickly.
      It is only necessary to backfill the space around the pipes with substrate. The energy transference is identical, according to the laws of thermodynamics. Because of its relative density, fluids would transfer energy faster, but would also reduce its energy capacity faster. Which would cool faster, a cup of mercury, or a cup of water? Again, which would cool faster, a cup of mercury, or a cup the same capacity of solid iron?
      ΔU = Q − W

      You don’t connect pipes underground by “lowering them with a wire” 🤦‍♂️
      The drill IS the pipe. As it drills lower and lower you keep adding pipe extensions at the surface.

  • @justkiddingwithahmad999
    @justkiddingwithahmad999 6 лет назад +5

    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.

    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.

      b.) They are safe
      c.) They are formed on land and it's easy to get.
      Cons:
      a.) They emit a pollution called carbon dioxide.
      b.) They need to plant enough trees near the power station
      c.) Volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide, so if there's a volcano nearby the power station, the carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide will interact each other and will cause acid cloud to form. This will cause acid rain to fall.
      d.) They are finite resource because they take millions of years to form from dead swamps.
      b.) Nuclear Fuel
      Pros:
      a.) They are cheap

      e.) They emit hydrogen and nitrogen which is harmless to the environment.
      f.) They are renewable resource because they take a fortnight to form from dead jellyfish.
      Cons:
      a.) They are formed under the sea and it's difficult to get.
      b.) They are type of carcinogen, a cancer causing agent which can be harmful to DNA and RNA, so they need to wear protective clothes and handle nuclear waste very carefully.
      c.) If there is an accident, large amount of radioactive waste can be released to the environment which can stick around for thousands of years. It must be stored safely.
      c.) Wind Energy
      Pros:
      a.) They don’t cost any money
      b.)They are efficient
      c.)Wind energy is a renewable resource because wind is unlimited
      d.)Wind energy doesn't emit pollution
      Cons:
      a.) Windmills are very noisy and it would distract people and animals nearby and this noise could damage your ears
      b.) They can’t build houses near the windmill
      c.) If any birds and flying object got in contact with the moving windmill, they’ll get seriously harmed or destroyed or even killed
      d.) Windmill electricity is affected by the wind. We can only get windmill electricity when it’s windy. When it’s not windy, electricity isn’t produced.
      e.) Some people might get distracted.
      d.) Water Energy
      Pros:
      a.) They don’t cause any money

      g.) Sometimes reservoir water is cold and destroy organism nearby.
      h.) Dams flood farmland and push people from their homes.
      e.) Geothermal Energy
      Pros:
      a.) Geothermal energy don’t cost any money
      b.) They are tough, not delicate
      c.) They are renewable resource because they go in never ending cycle like the water cycle

      e.) Some solar energy is efficient
      f.) Some solar energy is cheap
      Cons:
      a.) Some solar energy is inefficient
      b.) Some solar energy is expensive
      c.) On sunlight or twilight can turn into electricity. When it’s cloudy or raining, there will be twilight. When there’s dark thunderstorm or it’s night, solar panel is at rest and won’t work.
      d.) Some people might get distracted.
      g.) Electrical Energy
      Pros:
      For Lightning:
      a.) Lightning contains millions of voltages, so each struck can store lot of electricity
      b.) Lightning is a renewable resource because thunderstorms are part of water cycle
      c.) Lightning doesn't emit pollution
      d.) Lightning doesn't cost any money
      e.) We don’t have work for lightning because it’s done naturally
      f.) Lightning is very efficient
      g.) If lightning struck slightly off the power station, it’ll still work
      h.) Lightning goes in zig zag, so if the lightning start striking above where it’s not the power station, it can curve and find its way to the power station
      i.) Lightning is bright and very hot enough to strengthen the electricity
      For Electric Eel:
      a.) Electric eels contains thousands of voltages, so each electric eel can store a lot of electricity
      b.) Electric eel is a renewable resource because it’s an animal, it can multiply.
      c.) Electric eel can be done anytime even though it’s not stormy
      d.) Electric eel don’t emit pollution
      e.) Electric eel don’t cost any money.
      f.) Electric eel can be placed accurately.
      g.) They can build houses nearby the electric power station
      h.) People and animals who is nearby won’t be distracted and won’t damage their ears.
      Cons:
      For Lightning:
      a.) Lightning can’t be done anytime and it only can be done when it’s stormy
      b.) We can’t predict where the lightning will exactly strike, so it may not strike the power station
      c.) Lightning is very hot and it is about 30,000℃
      d.) Lightning is very loud, therefore they need to be away.
      e.) People or animal nearby would be distracted and this noise could damage their ears.
      f.) They can’t build houses nearby the electric power station
      g.) This noise can be frightening to them
      h.) Lightning goes in zig zag path, so if the lightning starts striking above the power station, it may turn its path and may not strike the power station
      i.) Only cloud to ground lightning works. 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.

    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?

      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.

      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..

      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.

    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.

  • @DavidElzeitsinfill
    @DavidElzeitsinfill 2 года назад

    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

    What they don't say is that you need a cool source to cool off the gas to get back to fluid. Heat energy needs a "potential" (path to cold) to be recoverable. This is one reason you see coal and nuclear near water, and many geothermal units in Alaska where cold air can convert the alcohol back to a liquid state.

    • @annacarter690
      @annacarter690 5 лет назад

      Yes, binary cycle plants are considered closed loop systems. In all geothermal plan types, ordinarily, emissions typically occur when new wells are being tested, before being closed and hooked up to the power plant. Leaks can also occur in any industrial system. Generally, though, all geothermal power plants emit much less than gas plants and much much less than coal or oil. Binary plants are the cleanest. All geothermal plants take up less land than most every other energy source.
