An anonymous reader writes “Popular Science is running a story about a small company trying to take advantage of all the global warming hype. Matteran Energy uses ‘thermal-collection technology to heat a synthetic fluid with a very low boiling point (around 58F), creating enough steam to drive a specially designed turbine. And although a fluid-circuit system converting heat into electricity is nothing new, Matterans innovative solution increases the systems efficiency to a point where small-scale applications make economic sense.’ Notably, this comes during a record breaking heat wave here in the US. So has the day finally arrived where I can run my AC off of all that heat outdoors?”
This is just too fascinating to pass up
