What is the Ocean Cooling System
One of my earliest memories is of queueing with my father to collect a bucket of coal from Battersea Power Station. It was a bitterly cold winter, and in the aftermath of the Second World War, there was a shortage of almost everything. Like most of the London power stations, Battersea was built on the River Thames so that be heat generated by the coal-burning furnaces could be dispelled into the water, and the coal needed for the generators could easily be supplied by barges, towed by tugboats. In those days, the amount of heat that passed into the water was minimal by comparison with the volume of water available, and it was easy to feel that the world’s oceans could easily absorb all the heat.
Nowadays we see that the process of electricity generation by heat (which is still the normal – and most reliable way – of generating electricity, whether powered by coal, gas, oil, or nuclear combustion), and successful disposal of that heat, has become quite a problem. The heat just won’t go away fast enough!
What effect will the Ocean Cooling System Have on Global Warming
If you look at the brown line in Figure 7 in the Post: ‘Global Warming – a reassessment of the origin of the problem, and an effective Human Scale solution’ – you will see that the temperature of the Earth rose quite slowly from the 1860s to approximately 1918 (perhaps due to end-of-war exhaustion and economic stagnation?). It then rose quite sharply until the mid-1930s, and faster still in the 1940s, until the critical heat-spike caused by all-out war, bombing, and nuclear explosions finished, leading to a sharp downward line until 1971 when recovering economic activity (and, I believe, increasing reliance on electricity and the proliferation of Power Stations pouring heat into the air and oceans) started a steep upward trend.
How Does This Invention Tackle Climate Change Differently?
Conventional responses to climate change all aim to address its supposed causes, assuming that this will bring about the desired results. However, if you compare Global Warming to a fever in the human body, good Medical Practice will not only try to remove of the cause – perhaps with antibiotics -, but will also try to reduce the temperature.
Ways to reduce the temperature of the human body include:
- Getting rest
- Drinking fluids
- Taking appropriate medication
- Ensuring an appropriate flow of cool air on the body.
Our new structures reflect similar aims for the planet, although present economic circumstances make the taking of rest difficult (Remember: work = heat). At least numbers 2. and 4. are paralleled by the new technology. (The Armadillo™ and the Fontana™ will act as artificial sweat glands and restart the hydrological cycle, while the OceanCoolingSystem™ and the power station cooling structures will ensure that the water and the air which surround us are not overheated.
