Latent Power Turbines^TM and population expansion into hot arid regions

LP Turbines absorb heat from theatmosphere to generate electricity.

This means that if LP Turbines are used for cooling buildings in hot arid climates a surplus of electricity will be produced.

Some of this electricity could be used for pumping sea water inland where additional LP Turbines could be used to  power out of town freeze desalination plants.
These plants would cool sea water to below 0^oC so that ice was frozen out as fresh water.
The ice could be transported back into town and allowed to melt in covered troughs above head height, along the busier streets of the town.

Seawater can be converted into drinking water by using reverse osmosis to filter out the salt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

In principle, this method of purifying water could meet all of humanities domestic, industrial and agricultural needs if LP Turbines were used to provide the electricity, to drive the reverse osmosis pumps.

However, there are some niche markets where LP Turbines could be used in other ways, to produce drinking water.

The first niche relates to environments where even contaminated water is a scarce resource. The second relates to circumstances where the recovery of solids from the contaminated water is economically worthwhile.

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.

Their unique feature: They convert heat into electricity. But unlike existing commercial heat engines they imitate nature by running cold. This allows them to extract heat from the air or oceans, or any other source of very low grade heat.

The following diagram summarises their principle of operation.

 The proof of concept experiments

We have decided to release the design for our original experiments, in the hope that it will be replicated and validated by an independent research group at the earliest possible opportunity.

 Latent Power Turbine theory makes two predictions:

1. When saturated steam passes through a constriction or nozzle, the pressure and temperature variations are radically different, compared with the flow of an unsaturated vapour or gas.
2. When saturated steam passes through a turbine unit the pressure and temperature drops across the turbine are minimal compared with the flow of an unsaturated vapour or gas.

Until 1697, when the Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh discovered black swans in Australia, Europeans believed that all swans were white.

The philosopher Karl Popper used this discovery to support his argument that just because all of the evidence we can find supports a theory, this does not prove that the theory is absolutely correct. At some date in the future, we may find a new piece of evidence that contradicts the theory.

But engineers and scientists can't live their professional lives in constant doubt. So if a theory works for us time and again, we are quite entitled to use it.

Latent Power Turbines and the UK migration issue

Many people who voted in favour of Brexit in the 2016 referendum did so because they were concerned about the large number of migrants entering the UK.

However, as we will explain, the widespread adoption of Latent Power (LP) Turbines will turn this problem completely on its head, with the flow of migrants possibly going into reverse.

To understand why, we need to take a brief look at how Latent Power Turbines work.
