Our civilization is facing an urgent need to include innovative, large-scale sources of energy and raw materials into its technological cycles. One potential source is magma, which now still inspires awe with its unpredictable power of volcanic eruptions. But we can control lava flow using a special design of a pipe which is lowered into the crater of a volcano. The magma is raised with the help of a well-known method for raising liquids, the airlift. There is potential for the establishment of a whole new industry that will produce cheap electricity, hydrogen, rare metals, fertilizers and innovative construction materials.
Hydrogen a universal source of energy
We need the powerful energy source:
Tremendous by amount
Inexhaustible in duration
Already existing to minimize negative environmental impact
-
Temperature of most magmas are in the range from 800 to 1200оС
-
We melt glass at 1500оС, cast iron at 1600оС, etc.
-
All operations can be well controlled remotely. Only the construction part directly contacting with magma is exposed to the risk of possible breakages.
Magma is a field of energy reserve
Energy to produce hydrogen ~ Energy of hydrogen combustiion
Method of raising magma article
Module structure enables to construct facility from ready to use operation modules:
airlift, magma pipe, electric chemistry etc.
EVEN A SINGLE processing module would be enough to make the entire project profitable.
One source of energy is enough to produce hydrogen: HEAT ENERGY and ELECTRIC POWER
BOTH SOURCES are at our disposal. Same sources are priceless for magma electrochemistry.
