Marshall Hydrothermal Recovery System

The first and only system to unlock the awesome power of deep-ocean hydrothermal vents for energy, mining, and water desalination. http://www.marshallsystem.com Animation by Eric Blumrich.

I'm a big nuke and hydro guy but this system if your energy density figures mean we now have a new contender for serious levels of power "zero carbon" sources unlike the unreliable landhogs of wind and solar.

Your idea is the first that I've seen that is sufficient scale and intensity to get the job done with a renewable baseload. My hat's off to you sir. You should send you idea to energy Secretary Chu and also business leaders interesting in renewables.

@Septeus7 That is exactly what it means. The density and constancy put this source on a par with nuclear.

I wrote to Steven Chu at Lawrence Livermore the day Obama announced his name knowing that he would see it. He knows about it but has never responded.

We are in the process of raising the initial capital and will continue to contact appropriate government and business leaders and sources. This is going to get done. Thanks for your comments.

@marshallsystem I was wondering if you have to talked to the Japanese government?

One would think they are looking for new options right now and I believe there are some vents are pretty close where disaster took place and they are down quit a few gigawatts because of the nuclear shutdown.

The Japanese are also more likely to invest in big projects than the United States currently. Just a suggestion.

[marshallsystem]

@Septeus7 Yes, we are in ongoing talks with a local government in Japan that wants to host us, and they are in talks with the federal government on our behalf.

It's only a matter of time. Sooner or later it will be built.

I am very scared of this technology as portrayed here. It would be quite different if the flow was captured for its energy content then re-released-the HEAT and the MINERALS AND the CURRENTS-were allowed to continue their roles in the global ecology.

Haven't we learned not to mess with Mother Nature yet?

Please develop something better. A device could be made to sit atop one of these vents and create the electricity in situ and cables could be used to deliver the electricity to the consumer.

[marshallsystem]

@GadgetmanGlobal We are taking great pains to produce the least possible environmental disruption, but nothing humans have ever done is without any impact. Please tell me what technology can produce the amount of energy hydrothermal vents are capable of with less consequence. To my knowledge there is none.

The system is not perfect, but nothing else is, either. Rest assureed that it is our goal to make things better, not worse. We live here, too and we are trying to make this a better place.

Let`s get started!!! We should have been using this years ago!!!

[GadgetmanGlobal]

@marshallsystem (What's your name?) I have learned that when technologies are put to use without full investigation of the possible consequences, often the consequences are dire.

If you would like to discuss an alternative, I encourage you to get in touch with me. We are both very busy. Still, solving for the energy needs of a this planet is vital to our survival as a species.

Feel free to call.

@marshallsystem Thank you for the reply and for those references, really looking forward to see this project go ahead, I hope you have great success with it and that it means a source of cleaner (and cheaper, energy prices are outrageous these days) energy for all.

@corporationation We are planning the first system now, the US patent was published today, and we are receiving strong interest from quite literally all over the world. People know it's a game changer.

Look at the /complete.htm page and you'll see the assumptions that the numbers are based on. You can judge for yourself whether they're correct.
