A. Dean GOL105V1 SU24 1.) How a geothermal reservoir works. 2.) The three things needed for a geothermal reservoir and how they harness it for electricity. 3.) That when I buy a house or build it, I want a geothermal heat pump!
GOL 105 V1 Summer 2022 - This was very informative. I have a better understanding of how geothermal energy is produced. Thank you Dr. Anna for assigning this!
Ashley Bryant Gol 105 -V1. I learned that magma rises closer to the surface of the earth because as it settles further into the mantle it heats up and becomes lighter and then falls back into the mantle because as it moves upwards it becomes colder and therefore denser.
We need geothermal with liquid salt which melts at 400 c and is stable to 1000 c can be brought up from the ground 24/7 365 with no CO2 what so ever. Water geothermal systems are grossly inefficiant the salt is 5 times more so. the secondary loops can use CO2 liquid which turns into a gas when heated to 380 K so it is perfect for driving the turbines. Extra heat can then be taken and used for desalinating water, taking the C out of CO2 and adding it gassified coal to make diesel and fertilizer.
As far as war is concerned, there always will be. Some people may not want people of previous socio-economic class to become equal with them. After all, isn't that the basis of monetary value? If we didn't have money, then how would we measure wealth/prosperity? We could on a survival basis, but then we wouldn't see ourselves as superior or esteemed in any way, which is sort of humankind's dirty habit (do things for attention) Equality just isn't a natural concept, do we all serve a common goal?
in the afterlife, :\ sounds disappointing, right? I think that your happiness and gratitude is brought out by the bad things in life (war, general hardship), although that doesn't justify evil matters, it's just that there's always someone out there with bad intentions. I think that there aren't right and wrong ways to solve issues like wars, and their just products of how we've been brought up in our lives. How can you make a decision that ultimately benefits everyone? You can't, you just try
@Snakez19 The heat from the earth is coming from radioactive material that continues to give off a heat at a nearly constant rate for millions of years. So yes we are cooling but it's too small to make a difference. I think there are sustainability problems with geothermal though. By drilling into those rock formations we are letting cold water leaking to hot areas and decreasing the heat at that level. I think Enhanced Geothermal Systems is the unsustainable type that needs more work.
So, The question is: how will you be balancing? There are already examples by "our" (lets call it human nature) conduct that icecaps are melting and waterlevels rising (bigger issue for somebody living in the Netherlands, the lowcountries). There are also stories or legend told: atlantis, or found: chinese sea contains ancient rectangular structures/ plates (piramide type?) as well as certain egyption structures..
Hmm ... I would think that the technologie is not yet fully developed. I am not argueing that it works and is better than conventional C-Based energy forms, but the thing is that especially watersteam is the main reason for heating/cooling of the earth ( E.G. clouding and so on ). So basicly as long as it is not a closed system used to produce energy, there still is an impact on the enviroment. Just my 2 cents.
I'm wondering, what if we all got elektricity and heat, are there still wars, to what will it drive us then? you can only be monetary rich compared to poor(er). Even this disquillibrium creates flows, albeith that some are better in protecting then others.. When are we just happy, and strive for higher philosophies?
It is always been the same, take the fruit that is easiest to pick (why oilcompanies got so big, instead of biodiesel on which the first diesel engine ran or ethanol where the first T ford of Henry Ford ran on) .. Is it the right choiche? Cooling is releasing the hot temp into now and here. But actually just for the engineering I would do it.. and offset oil
Remind you we are already late for an ice age (for which most people living now would just appreciate, like me). it's still the balancing system the world lives by. By stopping the use of resources that are put safely deep under the ground (like oil, the old organic matter) with enormous forces/powers and bringing it into our habitat and which are actually entoxicating.
Zander LeNoir 2021 Gol 105 -V1. It was really cool learning about a geothermal system. The demonstration by the assistant presenter were all memorable and informative. I especially appreciate the description of convection currents.
Corie Bryant GOL 105-V1 This video was very interesting, I had never even considered how important geothermal energy could be. Maybe we've been looking up for energy, when all this time we should have been looking at what is right below us.
43:02 - I'd like to know what exactly represents the vertical axis of that graph. You see, water vapor is a greenhouse gas, in fact, is the most abundant greenhouse gas on Earth, it's more dangerous and much more abundant than CO2, but the difference is that it turns back into liquid water, eventually. That vertical axis should represent the greenhouse impact instead of the raw quantity of greenhouse gas that is emitted. You can emit much more CO2 than water vapor to the atmosphere, but if that water vapor has a higher greenhouse impact, then it'll do the same damage with much less quantity of it, which is all the more dangerous. I'm not interested just in the amount of greenhouse gas that is emitted, I want to know what is the specific greenhouse impact for each gas, because they all have different chemical properties, which means that some of them are much more dangerous than others. Have you ever wondered why saunas are so damn hot? It's not because of CO2, steam is the responsible for it (and for most of Earth's greenhouse effect). Steam isn't necessarily good, it can be disastrous because it has the potential to cause a global sauna which could potentially kill most of the life on Earth (including humans), of course, we would lose a bit of weight first, LOL. Remember that water vapor is the most powerful and abundant greenhouse gas on Earth, when you think about how Earth's surface is formed mostly by water, things can get scary. More water vapor in the atmosphere means more heat being trapped, which means that global temperatures eventually rise, which means that oceans/seas/lakes emit even more water vapor to the atmosphere that, in turn, makes things worse for it repeats and speeds up this very process. When we speak about greenhouse gases, the important thing to keep in mind is that life on Earth needs a specific range of temperatures, humidity, chemical compounds and "shielding" in order to survive. Thus, any greenhouse gas mix is valid as long as it keeps temperatures, humidity, chemical composition and "shielding" just as we like them. It's not really about quantity (though it usually has an influence), it's about how that greenhouse mix affects temperatures, humidity, chemical composition and shielding in the atmosphere, that's what really matters. So don't tell me how much greenhouse gas is emitted, tell me how it affects the mix and the consequences of that change, that's the important question.
Kaitlyn Long: GOL-105-V1: It's so interesting how much of the earth's energy is relatively untapped! The convection current demonstration was really cool too!
Great work! Enjoyed this lecture or lifeswork. Offcourse I got some questions. Is this the solution? And/ or to what extend? I could Imaging this working for the given 100.000's of years (and heck i hope i'm not still around by that time) Others might be. Couldn't we recycle materials already brought up and found in our habitat, or use bigger systems (forces) that If wouldn't deplee the earth workings. (sun (through hydro) or waves by planets (moon).

Wow. RUclips has a 144p setting? That would be really useful if I was watching this on a god damned pencil eraser.

Could a geothermal energy plant also serve as a desalinization plant by vaporizing sea water and collecting it into a water tower?
according to Al Gore, "the earth's core is millions of degrees farenheight"

I wish we could use more energy like this to make the world greener especially when it's renewable!
gol 105 v-1 the demonstrations helped me understand the advantages to geothermal energy vs. fossil fuels
This was a very interesting video. The process of geothermal to electricity is so cool.
