Solar Energy in a Pipe
Hydram Power is a superior renewable energy resource whose time has come.
Air and other things on the Earth soak up the Sun's energy and store it. Hydram Power processes harness and convert part of that stored solar energy into versatile and powerful renewable power production processes without pollution or consumption of any resource. The processes have no carbon or other emissions and so have no carbon foot-print and no pollution whatsoever.
Solar molecular thermal energy stored in the molecules of liquids cause the liquid molecules to strongly resist compression into spaces smaller than their equilibrium volume. When liquid molecules are caused to pack together very quickly in a pipe, such as in water hammer, their internal energy causes them to quickly push hard (as pressure) in trying to regain their equilibrium volume.
Hydram Power efficiently causes liquid molecules to pack together and then do work as their high internal pressure energy returns them to their equilibrium volume. That work causes the molecules to cool down below the surrounding temperature. The surrounding air is then used to warm the liquid molecules back up by heat exchange. The re-warmed liquid is again made to do work and that work returns the thermal energy back to the environment. Hydram Power processes thus extract thermal energy from the environment and cause it to produce useable power. As the produced power energy is used, the energy returns to the environment and a continuous renewable energy cycle results.
A fourteen-part Hydram Power series of articles will analyze Hydram Power steady and non-steady state jet discharge, piston/turbine driving, and pumping processes, and their energy production potential. The series presents and discusses test results that verify Hydram Power is a viable clean and renewable energy and power production alternative. It concludes by discussing the benefits of Hydram Power, its few minor problems, and how to avoid or minimize them.
Hydram Power can be made portable, and can produce power day or night in any kind of weather – cold or hot. Hydram Power thus has tremendous advantages over solar, wind, or other renewable energy power systems. In sum, Hydram Power processes can produce power and energy to do work anytime and anywhere on Earth with no pollution whatsoever.
Hydram Power has very few problems. But trapped air can reduce operational efficiency, make work processes to stop altogether, or make it impossible to get them started. Also, Hydram Power processes need energy to get started. But once started, they are self-sustaining as they do useful work. Smaller systems can start-up using a regular automobile type battery and can then start-up larger systems. In sum, Hydram Power puts compressed liquid internal energy to work and has tremendous advantages for providing clean renewable energy with minimal problems. Hydram Power is a versatile, and viable renewable energy and power production alternative.
This work is dedicated to the cause of freedom and to the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Earth, who would have us all be free. He it is who inspired this work and made it possible.
Special thanks to my wife who supported me in this work without complaint and to my family.
In honor of those who gave their lives for others on 9-11 and in honor of our service men and women who gave their lives to keep us free: "AMERICA: 'LET'S ROLL!'"
". . . That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government
of the People,by the People, andfor the People,Shall Not Perish From the Earth."
As radio newscasters said at the time of Pearl Harbor: "This is the real McCoy!"
