The Powerful Promise of Earth’s Harshest Places | Lei Zhang | TED
Clean energy visionary Lei Zhang loves the Gobi Desert — the most Mars-like place on Earth. Why? Because of the promise it holds to provide the free, abundant solar and wind energy to fuel humanity’s next leap forward. Sharing the story behind one of the world’s largest green hydrogen projects, Zhang shows how Earth’s harshest…

Humans, the only species, can alter earth terrains selfishly, decimating vast lands, wildlife, and pollution, leaving behind a trail of what was. Jesus christ priorities, in the name of profits and greed, this is what is going to doom this planet. Elon and his billionaire friends can’t last long in the vacuum of space. 😢😢😢😢😢Complete failure of the highest degree

Abundantly solar lie is it ain’t the cheapest as advertised when you add in the battery needed. But the solar plus battery cost is less than burning fossil fuels when we add in costs from bad weather crises created. And big oil corruption. Holding evolved humans from further evolving.

Lets reframe Earth’s low contrast abundant ambient heat as a thermal energy waypoint between heat and other forms of energy. Energy changes form without gain or loss. Uniformity is not, in itself, a form of energy.
A simple rectifier crystal can,
just short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage, a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson (observation) Nyquest (theory) thermal electrical noise. Max Plank anticipated that ambient thermal noise would become usable with advances in technology.
In 1973 I filed for US patent 3890161A DIODE ARRAY for an array of metal1/ insulator/metal2 diodes that refrigerate while concurrently producing electric power. The patent covers Metal needle / Insulating gap/ Metal plane diode groups, The patent was granted in 1975. It was opened to the public domain in 1992. Development should be in the public domain. The patent documents my understanding as of 1973.
The plausible net electrical filtrate from diodes can be aggregated in grouping separate diodes in consistent alignment. The alignmet must initially be parallel. A higher order of these parallel groups can be connected in series to produce higher voltage. Within limits, parts of the network can be shorted out or open circuted without electrical or chemical harm. The electrical power released is always equal to the refrigeration produced. Inefficiency effects the performance but not the equality of the thermal absorbtion and electrical yield of the conversion.
The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive direct current electricity when the load electrical resistance is equal to the array internal electrical resistance. Maximum calculated electrical power output (watts) is k (Boltźman’s constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit on 0~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array.
There are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter.
Order is imposed on the random perpetual thermal motion of electrons in the structurally determined fabrication of the diodes and the coherence of the parallel array they are members of.
As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights.
Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity of equivalent energy content would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. This would improve performance and lower cost.
Full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and horizontal transports.
In a flourishing civillization, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminous signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, Refugee communities would be buildable quickly. Fire safes would preserve contents to 1500F for years. These would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people as individuals or larger social groups see fit.
Some electrical equipment groups could be consolidated into local networks when suitable. Liguid nitrogen cooled superconducting networks would become practical.
If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of greenhouse gasses out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones.
There are other plausible breeches for anyone to of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people in independent teams, will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of experiemental efforts.
These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous.
I do not seek to be the lead developer. This will disable confirmation bias and assure that other developers are acting on the merits of rhe hypothesis independently. The Ray Bermister effect whereby acceptance of a new paridgm is facilitated by tangible success. The Burmister effect can be decentralized and incremental
Here are some possible development path starts for indepedent prototype teams to consider in their research and development pursuits:
A field emmision metal needle diode array.
A nano conductive needle, perhaps a nested wall compound carbon nanotube tipped with LaB6 each abutting a ~1micron vacuum or insulator section abutting a heat and electricity conducting substrate based The efficiency is poor but the bandwidth is excellent.
Shottky diode diode array
Au needles abutting an n type GaAs or InSb thin common anode on a structually supportive electrically conductive substrate. Similar structures have been made in the past. It could yield performance better than crystal diodes suitable for persuasive proof of concept prototyping This also may be a stranded project, overcome by more difficult but higher potental approaches.
Silicon or germanium crystal diode diode array
This technology is well developed and can be executed quickly but would perform poorly, merely adequate for marginal quality proof of concept prototyping.

independently.
The topic deserves discussions and prototyping attempt action.
Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise does not come to an equlibrium stalemate in diode arrays to the extent that electrical power is drawn off thus being unavailable to push back.
The entropic deteration of the structure of machine parts made of tough solids is ineivitable but can be minor compared to the stress of their use. For example, making a pile driver hammer from molten scrap steel involvolves 2.8 million times less energy than the total energy the pounding hammer delivers in a moderate use ten year service life. This is a negative entropy part of the overall situation. There could be net entropy reduction in the full lifetime energy accounting of diode array use. Diode array devices should be able to power the manufacture of an ever increasing number of devices.
