Here is Part 4 of Energy Conversion Theory:

The diagrams Parts 1-3 have been based on the HELT System so we can show a working example of how ECT is applied to System Architecture. There are other possibilities for application of this theory in different engineering practices and Energy types.

In Part 1 we have a single Closed System that shows a Hydro Electric Turbine System. The Electrical Input is converted through processes until the Output is the same as the Input. This System will always be < 100% efficient due to the losses incurred at each conversion of Energy.

In Part 2 we have the Hydro Electro Lytic Turbine System. The vertical line separates Closed System 1 which is the Input and Closed System 2 which is the Output side of the System. Because the Output of CS1 is a new Energy rich fuel source it can be used as the Input in CS2. This qualifies as fitting the definition of an Open System Loop (OSL).

An Open System Loop consists of Two Closed Systems, looped together, where the Input Energy of CS1 and the Output Energy of CS2 are the same. The CS1 Output must be a new energy rich source that is consumed in CS2.

In Part 3 we can see that a horizontal line has been added across the Two Turbines. This indicates that Two separate Closed Systems are interacting in the same space at the same time. One of the Closed Systems is Mechanical, the other is Energetic.

These Two Systems are both doing different jobs at the same time in the same space and the Energy Processes present are beneficial for achieving the goal. These Two Systems (Mechanical and Energetic) produce an Output between them and so do not meet the definition of an OSL.

They do however meet the definition of a Closed System Crossover (CSC):

A Closed System Crossover occurs when Two different System types, Mechanical and Energetic, operate in the same space at the same time. Benefits are gained from Energy types generated by one System being present in the environment and utilised by the second System at no additional cost.
