DESTROYING Energy

[sm0ky2]

Remember Black Sunday........
When a simple spring breeze transplanted
300 million tons of topsoil halfway across the U.S.


when we restrict airflow in a small place,
we are effectively building up pressure behind it.
When great enough, we create a pressure differential
which further drives the wind.


This is because the Entire volume of our atmosphere
is the driving force of the wind, NOT the wind speed that
we use to calculate "wind energy".


The wind energy of the planet is derived from the net sum
of pressure differential around the globe.
This number is several magnitudes greater than the energy locally.
Like trying to stop a bus with a toothpick.


If we take too much local wind energy, the wind will simply pluck
our windmill farm (concrete and all) and drop it off somewhere else
on the earth. There is a theoretical point between two extremes
at which we will create enough local pressure imbalance to meet
our energy demands. This is the top-end production goal.
In this state, our atmosphere becomes a solar-powered heat engine
that produces H^36, where H is the quantity of global electrical
consumption in 1972. (the date when scientists did this math)


Which, for those who are curious:
H= 8426 Trillion KWh (1972)
H= 22,223 Trillion KWh (2014)
We will never run out of wind power or exceed
our potential to harvest it.


There are subsequently an infinite number of possibilities in
terms of the differentiated pressure effects of manipulation of
our atmosphere. That being said, we tiny humans are not likely
to exceed the effects caused by nature.
(black Sunday was a natural event, but the conditions that allowed
  it to occur had human origins)




Of course none of this matters anymore.
I just received verbal confirmation by a scientist working under
contract with an Argonne group:


They have violated the 2nd law of thermodynamics both mathematically
and experimentally. (Although there is still conjecture on the experimental
process) So, soon the mass of this religious organization will have to
revamp their religious laws, or face the shelves of mythology.


In either case, each individual that subscribed to the previously held dogma
of their religion will face the self-realization of their own actions.
And the detrimental effects they have had as individuals, on our research.

In my personal view I see them as no different from 'flat earthers'
But you can't blame them, they were indoctrinated by our educational
system, and the scientific hierarchy that controls knowledge.
On top of that, the theory of thermodynamics holds true in most of the ways
in which we use it. (this is clearly based on the theoretical constraints placed on
the theory) but that is neither here nor there.

                     Object                                    K    Mass   Diameter   Velocity   Energy, J
A) bicycle wheel @ 20 km/h                       1    1 kg     700 mm       150 rpm     15 J
B) bicycle wheel, double speed (40 km/h)    1    1 kg     700 mm       300 rpm     60 J
C) bicycle wheel, double mass (20 km/h)     1    2 kg     700 mm       150 rpm     30 J

Compare A) and B), then you will notice doubling the speed will quadruple the energy stored in joules.   Compare A) and C), then you will notice doubling the mass only doubles the energy stored in joules.

If we transferred 30 J in C),  to a bicycle wheel @ 20 km/h with half the mass, so the bicycle wheel is similar to A), then the bicycle wheel should have 30 J), because we can't destroy energy.   This will give us D).

D) bicycle wheel @ 20 km/h                    1    1 kg     700 mm       150 rpm     30 J

Gravoc, please check your figures;
A 2kg, 700mm bicycle wheel at 20 km/h (150rpm) has 30 Joules.
If we transfer that 30 J to a wheel with half the mass, we get 212 RPM
(1.4142 x 150rpm = 212 RPM).     
In the same way that doubling the speed will quadruple the energy and doubling the mass only doubles the energy, halving the speed will quarter the energy whilst halving the mass will only halve the energy.

Thank you EHT


I only checked A & B
Then got lazy, so I didn't check c,d,e,f...


I assumed that he had his equations correct



The rounding threw me off at first glance, that's why
I had to check it.

[EHT]

No worries, Smoky. It's happened to me before... and more than just a few times

For an all-too-brief moment there, it all seemed legit.... until suddenly - when everyone was least expecting it - nothing happened.
I hate that when that happens.

A bicycle wheel is more like a ring than a solid disk, so it is you who needs to check your figures and not me.  Look at the RPM and kinetic energy in Joules for a ring (bicycle wheel) in the snapshot below.  Here's the link to the flywheel calculator for both a disk and ring.
