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.

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. @rahmstorf @WilliamJRipple

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 cae.usp-pl.com/index.php/ces…

Atmospheric convection could be controlled to produce abundant clean energy. Science based solutions from outsiders with process control experience are rejected as shaming. teapaw.org/rahmstorf teapaw.org/NaomiOreskes See: teapaw.org/VortexEngine/status/11… teapaw.org/VortexEngine/status/17…

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.…

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🌪️ vortexengine.ca/Publications…

H3. Effect of surface air properties on the work produced when raised. #GasTurbine stack gas can be diluted with lower temperature natural or waste heat. Add GT stack gas only as necessary to sustain the vortex. Increase GT power output, #cleanenergy #ClimateAction

H2. Stack gas flow of 50 MWe GT ~100 kg/s 500 C for single cycle and 80 C for combined cycle. Reduced turbine outlet pressure increases existing turbine power. Stack gas can be diluted with ambient air. Air dampers can be replaced with turbines generating additional #Energy

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.

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. vortexengine.ca/Publications… #energytwitter #Climate

#climatefix. Upward heat transport can be by radiation or by convection. Controlled vortices could increase upward heat transport thereby warming the upper troposphere, increasing infrared radiation to space, and cooling the earth's surface. See: vortexengine.ca/VSC/AVE_WEB.…

There is a simple explanation for tornado🌪️and hurricane energy - Conservation of Energy, Chapter 2. Work when surface air raised: W = Δh - Δgz. Raising surface could produce abundant carbon free energy. Breakthrough could HELP do so. See: vortexengine.ca/Publications… #climatefix

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. Max Plank. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck…

3/c. In atmospheric vortices, upward annular flow of buoyant air is the primary circulation. Circular flow is secondary; centrifugal force inhibits dilution. Einstein's tea leaf paradox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_le… ias.ac.in/article/fulltext/r…

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. @bberwyn @nkus @WeatherProf @rahmstorf @RARohde @afreedma @FrediOtto @BMcNoldy

They look like waterspouts.
