cyclical gravity greenhouse liquid capillary action energy generator

R Smith | 29.11.2005 14:38 | Ecology

New energy device not being given chance due to snobbery of establishment.

I know you probably get a lot of e-mail inventor types sending stuff to you, but I would like you to look at my new idea for energy generation which takes as an inspration oil wicks, but instead uses water and evaporation due to heat for energy generation. It is a renewable form of energy generation that may have potential. I am running out of time to find a backer. Would you be preapred to look at my idea. The device is just theory but I can see no logcial argument of why this idea would not work,. and yet it has massive potential it uses heat, capillary action and gravity rather than light for energy generation so is more efficient than solar energy.Please please look at my idea. I am willing to just to see my idea put into practice rather than make money from it as I feel it is very useful for combating global warming. I do not have the finaces to build such a device myself. But your company would easily have the finances. I am serious and am not a conn artist, and I do believe in my device sincerely. The renewable energy companies seem to avoid my device prbaably out ouf insecurity of being seen as insane for accepting new ideas.This idea may work what is the harm in trying new ideas what is there to lose. I am not asking for money or attention I simply want to put this idea that seems logical to me forward. If it doesn't work what do you lose if it works you will gain a furtune.
I have got a new idea for an invention. It is a cyclical gravity greenhouse liquid capillary action energy generator. What do you think of the idea. The idea is that the device uses the same am mount of liquid over and over again due to evaporating, condensation and capillary Acton to generate electricity. It works like an oil wick using water except the energy is generated as the vapour turns to liquid, and drops through turbines.
The device consists of a liquid chamber, an evaporation chamber, capillary action sheets, condensation collectors, turbines, and liquid.
The capillary Action sheets draw liquid up from the liquid chamber into the evaporation chamber at normal temperatures, then the tip of the capillary action sheets in the evaporation chamber are heated to a temperature where they will evaporate the liquid. As liquid evaporates from the sheets. The capillary action sheets draw more liquid from the liquid chamber to replace the liquid lost. The liquid is drawn naturally upwards. When the liquid evaporates from the capillary action sheets it enters the evaporation chamber. The evaporation chamber is of normal temperatures. It is not the evaporation chamber that causes evaporation, it is the capillary action sheets. The evaporation chamber is of low temperatures to encourage condensation. Only The capillary action sheets need to be heated. Then the condensation falls into condensation collectors, and is used to power turbines before falling back into the liquid chamber. So the same liquid is recycled.
This is a new invention. Just because it uses capillary action that does not make it the same as a solar sill, or paper.
They key is capillary action lifting liquid up for free.
The only heating required is on the tip of the capillary action sheets, which can be done by heaters or by solar rays or any other device.
When calculations are made for this device remember it is not a solar heater. Capillary action is key to this device.
This device is consistent. Other forms of renewable energy are inconsistent because solar energy stops working in times of night, high cloud cover, pollution to sky. Wind power stops working at extreme wind speeds and low or no wind speeds. Hydro stops working in droughts, or when river levels control issues restrict use of hydro power.
Remember using heat from solar energy is more efficient than using the light, as most solar paneling does.
This device may be able to power itself to an extent, by the energy gained from dropping the liquid being used to evaporate the liquid. Or can be heated using other heating systems.
Remember the key is capillary action.
