Power Tube to Develop Prototype of
'Geomagmatic' Technology
Austin, TX-based clean energy power
developer Power Tube, Inc. recently announced it has completed a
successful engineering review of its "Argus" technology for "turning the
heat of the Earth into electrical power" and now plans to develop a
prototype.
According to Power Tube, Argus is a "closed-loop,
renewable power plant" that can produce up to 10 megawatts of electricity,
or enough to power 5,000 to 8,000 homes in the U.S. Power Tube noted that
a key component of Argus technology, which the company has dubbed
"geomagmatic," is the use of a thermal riser, a "self-contained device
that circulates a thermal transfer fluid within a single tube," to bring
the heat up to the boiler instead of using injected water or steam.
The geothermal energy boils a working fluid within the boiler and
the gas produced spins a turbine to generate electricity and then cools
back down into a liquid, where the process continues," said Power Cold.
"Because it does not rely on surface water, this approach significantly
increases the number of sites that can use the heat of the Earth to
provide electricity."
