Upward flow of solar energy in the atmosphere could supply 3000 times human electricity needs. A large hurricane produces more energy than human annual electricity production. The Atmospheric Vortex Engine #AtmosEng could provide abundant #CleanEnergy and solve #ClimateCrisis.
T1. Stationary tornadoes produced by having warm humid air enter the bottom of a natural draft cooling tower tangentially could produce clean energy and fix the climate. Link to Clean Energy Science and Technology article. @jrockstrom @hausfath

T2. The energy is produced by expanding air into the low pressure at the base of the vortex, and not by harnessing the kinetic energy of the swirling tornado wind. The intensity and size of the vortex is controlled by manipulating the inlet air flow.

H1. Gas turbine (GT) stack gas could produce a 12 km high vortex and increases GT power by ~40% without additional emissions. Single cycle AVE/GT could have higher efficiency and lower capital cost than combined cycle GT. Performance increases with size. #ClimateCrisis fix.
H4. Solving problems that occur in the real world. The atmosphere is heated from the below and and cooled from above. Resulting upward convective heat flow could produce abundant clean energy. Like a thermosiphon, control it🌪️

H5. Seeking partner with strong engineering capability for the development of the Atmospheric Vortex Engine #AVE. #Climate #Energy. More info at: vortexengine.ca/VSC/AVE_WEB.…
Cold source temperatures:
Thermal engines +25 C, (Earth surface).
Earth -25 C, (Mid troposphere).
Vortex engine 🌪️reduces cold source temperature by
50 C. Efficiency increase 5%.
Can use low temp heat source like sea water.

1/c. How to #ClimateFix. Listen, Learn from experience in other fields. Tornado control could cool the planet and produce clean energy. Control experience as important as models.

3/c. In atmospheric vortices, upward annular flow of buoyant air is the primary circulation. Circular flow is secondary; centrifugal force inhibits dilution.

4/c. A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

"You should, in science, believe logic and arguments, carefully drawn, and not authorities". @ProfFeyman
AI answers are likely to be based on paradigms popular with reviewers, AI cannot evaluate carefully drawn arguments.
I wrote about arguably the largest heist in human history: tech bros training AI with our words, images, songs and entire digital lives.

Controlled tornadoes 🌪️- A new #Energy source to fix #Climate. Atmosphere is in metastable state bc heated by the sun. Bottom heat and deflection alone produce the Singapore museum fire vortex. @KevinClimate @ClimateOfGavin Thermodynamics basis here:

SI Mess - Base Units should be allowed prefixes.
The symbol for kg could be just "k". There is an exception "mm". This would encourage the use of SI prefixes and of consistent units.
300 kt = 300 Gg = 300 Mkg = 300 Mk
1 g = 1 mk, 1 t = 1 kk
1 billion tonnes = 1 Gt = 1 Pg = 1 Tk
Case in point of why the media needs to be careful when publishing sensational stories about material demand for clean energy.
The @guardian runs a story that US vehicles require 300 million tons of lithium. Than realizes they messed up the units and corrects it to be 300k tons!

The thermal energy stored in the lower atmosphere and warm oceans could provide abundant #cleanelectrical #energy. Sharing constructive ideas and cooperation via internet network can make it happen. @NRCan @NREL @InnovateNREL @SecGranholm @cleanenergywire

This kind of network in other fields could supplement the publish/peer review approach. The @EnergyCentral central tools are better than on Twitter & without adds. @ClimateOfGavin @Peters_Glen @clequere @jrockstrom @DrShepherd2013 @BMcNoldy @hausfath
