Essay Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Air conditioners powered by what? Yea, that is why I ended with "regenerating some electricity." But if you used solar or wind power, then it would be even more "heat negative." I wasn't serious when I started writing that post; but the more the idea developed, the more it seemed theoretically possible. I just don't know if enough (relatively dense) heated air could be channeled up to a point where it would lose heat and either fall back or be released. Depending on how the tube was insulated, you might be able to overcome gravity with buoyancy, istm. But I'm more of a biophysical chemist than a physical ecoengineer; so could use some critique of that seemingly crazy idea. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
