Latent Power Turbines
Article summery
Latent Power (LP) Turbines extract heat from their environment and convert it into electricity.
So, depending on local needs, LP Turbines can be used primarily as environment cooling devices or power generators.
In the hot climates of developing countries, a tiny number of households can afford to run LP Turbines for air cooling purposes. These create a surplus of electricity, which in turn generates business opportunities, causing the middle classes to expand. And, as we explain, the benefits trickle down to the poorest in society.
The novelist George Orwell invented the term ‘Doublethink’ to describe a form of mind conditioning which allows people to hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time, yet believes them both to be true.
In this article it will be argued that scientists have indulged in doublethink when explaining how heat engines work, and that as a result, we have ended up with a totally unnecessary climate crisis.
Latent Power TurbinesTM
Latent Power Turbines are a new technology for generating low cost, carbon free electricity.
They are preferable to to solar panels and wind turbines because they can run for 24 hours a day, anywhere on the planet. They are also likely to be cheaper to manufacture and install.
At a time when the world is facing a gas and oil price crisis, they could reinvigorate the world economy.
Best of all, they are open source technology. So if you like what you discover below, you are free to exploit it.

For the foreseeable future, LP Turbines will be far more efficient than solar panels at converting a broad range of solar radiation wavelengths into electricity. In addition, while generating electricity, they can also be used to cool instruments in order to reduce thermal background noise.
Latent Power Turbines could play several roles in providing drinking water security.
These include harvesting water from the atmosphere, reducing the costs of water desalination and eliminating water losses from horticultural glass houses.
Latent Power Turbines can generate cheap clean energy anywhere on the planet. Unlike wind turbines and solar cells, they don't need winds or sunlight.
The following article assumes that you are familiar with the basic concept of LP Turbines as described on this linked page.
This is a history of the evolution of Latent Power Turbines.
