Abstract: Systems and methods for producing energy from a geothermal formation. A heat exchanger can be disposed within a well to absorb heat from a geothermal formation. The heat exchanger can be supported within the well using a high thermal conductivity material. The heat exchanger is connected to an organic Rankine cycle engine including a secondary heat exchanger and a turbine. The primary and secondary heat transfer fluids are chosen to maximize efficiency of the organic Rankine cycle.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a system may include a power generating means comprising a hot junction and a cold junction, a pump station, a high temperature source, and a low temperature source. The high temperature source may be thermally coupled by a first pipe system to the power generating means, wherein the high temperature source comprises heat from within the earth's surface. The low temperature source may be thermally coupled by a second pipe system to the cold junction, wherein the low temperature source comprises water from a body of water. The pump station is operable to cause a heat transfer medium to descend through the first pipe system to the high temperature source within the earth's surface and then to ascend through the first pipe system to the hot junction, generating electricity responsive in part to a temperature gradient between the hot junction and the cold junction.

Abstract: A system for generating power including a Stirling engine, and a high temperature source thermally coupled to a hot chamber of the Stirling engine wherein the high temperature source comprises heat from below the earth's surface. In an embodiment of the system, the high temperature source may be a dry hole, oil well, or gas well.
