Mysterious energy source from thermal energy battery

An invention by British scientists can significantly reduce the energy needed for heating and cooking in households. However, its principle of operation and effectiveness is still what makes some scientists skeptical.

Output greater than 200%

The authors of the invention claim they have built a revolutionary device that can generate energy from almost nothing . This contrasts with one of the most fundamental laws of physics that energy does not naturally generate.

The device was developed by researchers at Ecowatts and named the thermoelectric battery . It is a tube of 25cm x 5cm size, inside contains a mixture of water, potassium carbonate and a secret chromium-based liquid catalyst. The current when passing through the mixture will cause a reaction to release a large amount of energy, 150 - 200% more than the original power used. This energy can be used to heat and serve many other household needs. Thanks to it, the cost of electricity and greenhouse gas emissions from the use of other fuels will be significantly reduced.

Mystery and doubt

Those who invented the thermal battery themselves did not clearly explain its principle of operation. They only realized that it may have reached an energy source that was previously unrecognized, stored at the subatomic level of water's hydrogen atom. Many independent researchers have also been skeptical about the ability of thermal batteries to function. However, some early experiments show that it works well.

The team at Ecowatts took 10 years and £ 1.4 million to complete the thermal batteries. This is a project supported by the British Ministry of Trade and Industry. As expected, the price when this device is available in the market can be up to 1,500 - 2,000 pounds, quite high compared to the income of people in many areas. But Ecowatts hoped they could quickly reduce this price to the most reasonable level, so that the thermal battery could become a popular household appliance in every home.

However, there are still many experiments from now on. Professor Saffa Riffat (University of Nottingham, UK) said: "This idea is very interesting and it can be a big breakthrough. But there are still a lot of experiments to proceed." Another scientist, Dr. Jim Lyons (York University), was more optimistic. He said his research team has conducted a number of experiments and may be an effective alternative technology for the string compared to many families still use it to boil water today.
