Something really different

[Nicholas15]

I was just thinking in my spare time about the world, I like to think about ways of doing things that people havnt thought of before, I was just wondering if my "theory" could ever work in reality,

 

So, a nuclear reactor works byy creating heat which boils water and creats steam, that steam is used to turn turbines, but I was thinking of a way to eliminate the need for a "reactor" like what if we dug deep underground, close to the core and placed a boiler and turbines, maybe under an ocean so we can directly take water from above, then we just use alot of them, or what if we put one in a close orbit with the sun? and used the same method "this one is really unlikely", I just want to know if this is possible or even realistic in anyway, thanks

the amount of pressure will kill and destroy everything that goes deep enough. even metal and hoomans

do you rlly want dis kitty 2 die

we can't dig that deep

The reason why we can't do the core one, We could never get close enough to the core of the earth or even let alone, get to it, even then the /pressure would be so strong you would get crushed/ Getting to the core would take 100's of years

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong about the / / statement, I do that if I'm not sure) 

[CydiaDash]

Probably already been thought of, and some reason why it wouldn't work

[Me1z]

Geothermal energy. What you're thinking of is called geothermal energy.

Yes, but we only need to go deep enough to boul water, the deepest weve ever dug was a mine(i dont know where) in which it was the sheer heat that miners could go no deeper, if we just went slightly further we might be able to do it

the only issue i see with the really really deep one is that it is really really deep. you've got to get either the steam or electricity out of that massive pit before it could be usable. resulting in a large loss in energy

So its already been thought of? well im sad now

Remember, thats from physical heat, we need to boil large amounts of water (100f+  deg) 

and transfer it too. More energy then its creating

I was thinking of this aswell, waves carry energy, wether it be radio or gamma rays, what if we found a way to turn the electricity into a wave big enough of carrying vast quantities of electricity, it would be quicker and would result in alot less energy loss, this is just a theory again

[Nicholas15]

lol

yes but he wants to take it to  a whole new level, NOR is it efficient enough

Wats not efficient enough?

[Arty]

Wats not efficient enough?

taking heat from the core of the earth and bringing it to the top.

IF we could even dig that far lmao

Did you see what I said about using waves

[Arty]

Did you see what I said about using waves

http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/25569/high-voltages-vs-energy-loss

more energy loss  longer cables.

 

once solar panels get really good.

putting them on all roofs is most efficient way to generate.

http://blogs.wsj.com/numbers/what-is-the-most-efficient-source-of-electricity-1754/

winds the best but  agian cabling.

 Not really but I want this asshole to die. Dogs are wayyy better.

Yes.

[Ekpyrosis]

How can dogs be better than cats?

Cats are (on average) way cuter.

Dogs are trained, while cats have a personality.

Also, cats reign over the internet.

that cute fuck cant die.

 

dont let it die

We already have geothermal power, but there's a problem with geothermal because the heat underground required can be miles down. That's a problem when digging such holes can be ludicrously expensive to both install and maintain (you wouldn't want a pipe to break...).

There are always options of improving, but right now everything is money-driven, so geothermal and such is only used where the heat is naturally very close to the surface and easy to access.

In fact it's also a similar story with mining coal, there's actually countless veins of coal in existence but companies haven't mined them all yet because there won't be much profit, if any, for the amount of money they spend in mining it. They only mine the juicy, thick coal veins that will yield the biggest profits.

yes I have, thanks for the concern
