ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES THEORY, PRACTICE, EXPERIMENT

Abstract

The paper attempts a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the energy device based on the principles of «cold» nuclear fusion. It should be noted that the understanding of «cold» nuclear synthesis may include hightemperature reactions occurring in locally small volumes (for example, cavitation). In this case, the working fluid remains relatively «cold». Some devices, such as, «vortex heat engine» is already used for heat production. However, there are discussions about the excess heat compared to the energy expended (electric, chemical, etc.). Do not confuse this type of device with heat pumps (household refrigerator). It uses the ideas and principles of technical thermodynamics of open systems (energy of the environment, the earth’s interior, the Sun, Space). Although this division is arbitrary. The interpretation of processes is given, physical phenomena, problems, prospects are considered.
