Volcano (അഗ്നി പര്‍വതം ) and Air Conditioning...



Hello all, I am back! Was busy with my CISA exam and few travels.. not like I have ran away from the physics and energy theory as few jealous people and critical resources / senior software engineers around me pointed..

Okie, what is the issue today? As usual, I have identified another potential source of energy, which got ignored by the intellectual community! This source is nothing but volcanos!

"Volcanooooooo????!!!!! How we will go near to that? It is so hot and melting lava will kill you!" - the first feedback for my idea!

Listen! It is possible to go there - if we can build those spaceships which travels with live human beings through high as well as low temperatures, it is possible to go near a volcano by hiring such a spacecraft. Melting lava - uh.. consider a boating through lava river or lake! Crazy? - not at all! - Refer this!

Btw, do anyone have any doubt that what is coming out of an active volcano is energy itself? If yes, I will give the map which will tell you how to reach there - just have a visit without hiring any spacecrafts - so that you can experience the energy. Now, how to make managed use of this energy? Here we need to open up the brain. This requires further studies. The key points to be kept in brain are:

  • Primary form of energy available here is heat.
  • In many cases, cooking gas also comes out from active volcano - will investigate further on how to burn this gas and get energy.
  • The lava flow generates much more mechanical energy than normal water flow creates due to its density.

    Considering these facts, if we think what are all the things we can do with an active volcano, the possibilities are unlimited. Few of them are:

  • It is hot up to 1000 degree Celsius. That means, we can use it for medical sterilization. Just dip the syringe or surgical weapons in lava for a minute - they must be clean from any worms and viruses!
  • If you engineer an iron or steel water pipe grid placed in a volcano and let the water run through it, you will get steam at the other end - very well we can design a thermal power station. Too natural too!
  • If you are able to run your washed clothes through the same pipe, you will be able to make it dry. A drier with absolutely zero electricity required. (...if you are able to pass yourself after a bath...)
  • If you blow chilled air throw it, you will get hot air at the other end, the hot air can be distributed across the globe for air conditioning systems (HVAC)
  • A volcano can be used for waste disposal - if we put garbage into an active volcano, all the waste will become ashes in a minute! A better way of waste management. (Cities like kochi must consider this)
  • The volcano can be used for cooking large amount of food (may be one volcano is enough to cater all the cooking needs of a country) lava rivers can be used for freshly cooked food - without loosing the heat.
  • Controlled exposure of water to a volcano will produce hot water - all the water heaters can be replaced with a volcano and cost we save on energy can be used for a pleasure trip to mars....

    These are the quick list of possible things we can do with a volcano's energy. If we invest some time and money for research and development, the possibilities are still many. I can put some light to the directions where we have to conduct more research. They are:

    - Possibility for extracting Nuclear fuel such as uranium from lava
    - Possibility for making petrol from lava
    - Possibility for extracting gold and platinum from lava
    - Possibility for using frozen lava as fertilizer
    - Possibility for natural gas from volcano
    - Possibility for using dead volcano for underground transport

    The list is huge and this is called "possibilities unlimited!"
