Anyone here willing to design a more elegant version of what I have conceived? This was just a 5 minute doodle but I believe the implications could be considerable. Thanks for your time
Continuing with the big picture concept of what this idea entails. Is it conceivable that the fresh water produced by this system could be channeled inland via tunnels then pushed to the surface, condensed, and then channeled to create an artificial river? Would this allow us to rewild deserts...
With regards to energy balance I haven't sat down and worked out what is produced at each stage in this process however it appears (if my intuition is correct) that the potential output is arbitrarily large limited only by the volume of water passing through. The bottleneck appears to be the...
a concept to use the ocean as a hydroelectric dam. The water passes over a series of turbines underground before being collected in large chambers to be converted to steam (desalination) then pumped to the surface over long distances or near the plant. Makes use of geothermal energy for further...
