So what happened?

[Drich]

Hello!

Ah. I see some one mentioned the geo-thermal power system.

They're using that in.. Iceland (I think?) and New Zealnd.

people are learning alot about how to do the tech well.

Like, one of the problems is keeping the water IN the system. It's actually hard to cross connect the two 'bore' holes. SO when you pump water down one... Not all the 'water' comes back up.

I think the folks in Iceland have a good-er-er way of resolving this issue.... don't have any links atm.

I've heard.. possibly in New Zealand? That one of the other down-sides is kind of making a 'Mud volcano'.

Basically you allow higher temperature material to rise up closer to the surface. It mixes with ground water and spoul and 'BLURT" steaming hot mud errupts out of the round.

So.. it's kind of a viable way to parasitically suck the heat out of the planet.... but there are still tech hurdles to over come.

Plus... you can only really do it in places where the crust is kind'a 'THin' or 'Faulty' to begin with.

The idea would be rather a non-starter in a place like Australia. The continent sits pretty much smack in the middle of its 'Plate'.

Cheers!

Not at work.

Indeed, the largest geothermal facility in the world is actually the Geyser geothermal plant in California, about 100km north of San Francisco.   It is associated with both recent volcanism and is at a place where the crust is extensively faulted.   It was largely developed since the 1960s.   But by the year 2000 the field has shown increasing signs of depletion.   

However, there  can be areas of great geothermal potential in the middle of a plate, see Yellowstone.   Basically wherever there are recent intra-plate volcanos (say last half million years), there can be geothermal potential.   In some locations geothermal potential seem to linger for over a million years after the most recent major eruption of a large intra-plate volcano, see Valles Caldera in New Mexico.   There are thousands of intra-plate volcanos that erupted in the last quarter million years, and most of those are not even associated with hot spots like Yellowstone.

what a lying pos you are..

heat is not the problem the depletion comes from a lack of water to create the steam. this whole time you anti argument is based on the fact the thermal conductivity of the stones can not be replenished making power production a problem because water can not be boiled.

Here clearly wiki shows an infusion of treated sewage water put production at all time highs!!!

By 1999 the steam to power extraction had begun to deplete the Geysers steam field and production began to drop.[2] However, since October 16, 1997, the Geysers steam field has been recharged by injection of treated sewage effluent, producing approximately 77 megawatts of capacity in 2004.[11] The effluent is piped up to 50 miles (80 km) from its source at the Lake County Sanitation waste water treatment plants and added to the Geysers steam field via geothermal injection.[11] In 2003, the City of Santa Rosa and Calpine Corporation partnered on constructing a 42-mile pipeline that became known at the Santa Rosa Geysers Recharge Project (SRGRP). Since 2003, SRGRP has delivered approximately 11 million gallons per day of tertiary treated wastewater to replenish The Geysers’ geothermal reservoir. In 2004, 85% of the effluent produced by four waste-water treatment plants serving 10 Lake County communities was diverted to the Geysers steam field.[11] Injecting treated water into the Geysers field increases the amount of power that can be generated.[11]

The injection of wastewater to the Geysers protects local waterways and Clear Lake by diverting effluent which used to be put into surface waters,[11] and has produced electricity without releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.[2]

did you see what I did there?

You made mention of an unknown to me so I immediately looked it up.

Understand I do this with EVERYTHING.

If I sound crazy or my claims are wild know I have at least 3 other solid sources backing me up, and then you guy come with your off the cuff cocktail dinner facts and try and challenge me.

Of course you are doomed to fail each and every time you have no hope in winning unless you do it dishonestly or try and whip up a mob of drich haters and even then how did the last one go?

60 pages of you people complaining to the site owners to get rid of me because I won't let you win.

Could you imagine how hopeless you would be if I did dot all my I and crossed all of my Ts grammatically?

Not to mention what I described is fundamentally different than the typical geothermal plant. I basically put a closed loop nuclear power plant over a man made geothermal vent. That's what makes my idea perpetual motion and the everyday geothermal plants dependant on sewage water.

the problem they are experiencing is where pockets of heat come closer to the surface. what the people in russia tried to do is drill a hole to the center of the earth (right in the middle of the continental plate) they found at 7.5 miles down they could no longer cool their drill bits because the water turn to vapor intantiousiouly. 

on the simple explanation surface all one need do in drill a idk 12 inch hole 7.5 (let's say 12 inches is the butter zone of heat extrapolation to loss.. and rather than pump raw water down this pipe you plant a heat exchanger at the bottom and this will eliminate all of the problems you listed about boring two holes or pushing up mud. the idea is to keep everything self contained so there is no expenditure of water as a quasi fuel or media to transfer heat. and this will further allow the use of purposely designed coolants that can hold more heat and lubricate internal machine parts seals and pumps.

The highlighted sentence alone is enough to make one bow before the awesome erudition.

 If you guys did not always read everything I say with hate and vitriol behind my words you would quickly see all of the jokes and funny things i season my topics with.

I am one of the funniest people here that you don't know is funny. Can't read a humor with you butt clinched and teeth gritted hating someone..
