bonsoir,
chatelot:
when the idea of moving directly from the mechanical energy to the heat, it is the most stupid idea of the century
to store the heat easily it should be limited to 100 ° C hot water: it makes a return of carnot shabby
it's good I see you read the links provided;) by christophe ...
I'm number one in stupid ideas so I'd be at least number one some
It is true that I do not master carnot but, but good idea that Apple has patent exactly the same system, it reassures me we are at least a few to be stupid.
quote:
The patent application details a mechanism which is described as "on-demand generation of electricity from stored wind energy" and wherein the rotational energy created by the turbine is used to generate heat, which is then stored in a fluid of "low heat capacity".

So keep cool chatelot keep it cool or take it easy;) .....
perso I would stay on the note of lessdewatt much more open and constructive;) ...
But as the reconversion of this heat stored in electricity to a poor performance, the interest is not absolutely obvious.
