liquid nitrogen power generation and transport
the problem with the world today is expensive, inefficient electricity generation and application. If free or extreemly cheap electricity could be generated the problems of travel and the energy crisis would be solved over night.
In this paper i propose the use of liquid nitrogen in one facility to solve the emmissions, transport and energy crisis all at once.
impossible it would have been a few years ago but with the development of renewable energy and the closed cycle system, finally, a free, clean energy source is a reality and a system that could be deployed and utilised tomorrow.
Current developments in liquid nitrogen systems involve using it as a fuel. i believe this to be inefficcient since it completely ignores the hyper expansive properties of the gas.
In a power station, liquid nitrogen would be heated by heating coils powered by renewable energy sources. the gas now several thousand degrees hotter and 10 times more pressurised than it would be under conventional atmospheric heating processes is released into a turbine-generator assembly where it would generate massive amounts of electricity.
Because of the closed system the nitrogen is passed around to be heated again thus resulting in the fuelless system.
Because all the energy to heat the nitrogen is free (with low maintennence costs for equipment) the resulting electricity cost would also be extreemly cheap. Thus allowing advanced electric or electrically-heated-nitrogen cars to become an economically viable option.
Due to the extreemly low cost electricity, ultra fast magnetically levitated transport also becomes a viable transport option.
and due to the 0 emissions from both the transport and power systems, the atmospheric problems related to emissions become severely reduced also.
cheap or free energy solves the energy crisis so now all threee major problems affecting all countries are solved by this one modification to current plans.
Now this is just an idea at the moment and would require further research, but since all of the technology required has already been developed the deployment time for this is greatly reduced.
