  • Geokinetic energy conversion
    Patent number: 4360056
    Abstract: An energy conversion system employing a heat transducer and a set of heat exchange earth fields. The connection of the fields to the heat transducer is controllably variable. The fields are used to extract or dissipate heat according to whether a heating or cooling effect is desired. The heat gain, or heat loss in the case of cooling, is a function of the geothermal energy of the earth, as modulated by solar radiation.
