Producing electrical energy from infrared Earth

In the future, Earth's infrared energy may become a renewable energy source. This is a new study published in the journal of the US National Academy of Sciences on March 3.

In the newly published report, physicists from Harvard University of Applied and Technical Sciences (SEAS), said that so far, the scientific community has overlooked the Earth's enormous energy. This is to be able to generate renewable energy.

The SEAS expert team has researched and developed an energy collector (EEH) that has a structure similar to solar panels, but instead of absorbing natural light it generates electrical energy. from Earth's infrared rays.

This design uses rectifier antennas to create an electrical circuit that generates electric current.

In addition, scientists also mentioned a model of EEH thermal machine operating on the principle of temperature difference between the machine and the surrounding environment. However, the feasibility of this option is not high.

Currently, rectifier antenna technology can only produce insignificant small current.

However, scientists claim that technological advances can help soon create cost-effective, cost-effective antennas for EEH machines.

Experts hope the new report will open more research opportunities on the future of EEH in the field of renewable energy.
