Abstract:
Considering the question of efficiency of alternative energy
systems, producing electricity from the position of interests of households
it acquires an unexpected sound. The efficiency can be low (about 7-10%)
providing that the heat released in converting is targeted i.e also used on
the needs of households. In such an approach low efficiency becomes
acceptable since the most part of energy usage in households is spent on
systems using the heat (hot water supply etc.) even in the summer period.
It is shown that converting of energy providing targeted heat dissipation
can be provided by the phenomenon of generation of electromotive force
by flowing of the low-speed, low-molecular salt current trough the
polymeric sewed net; relevant experimental results are presented. Basing
on the analysis of low-molecular ions currents balance by flowing of
solution through the gel, the theory of the phenomenon is proposed. It is
shown that the described phenomenon and based on its energy converting
systems can be considered as an example illustrating the perspectivity of
the new paradigm of green energetics development. Given paradigm is
based on principles of technical and humanitarian knowledge convergence
and is completely consistent with the conclusion that the environmentfriendly technologies development is a technical and social issue at one
time.
