Ironically it’s self evident from his own advice that you can’t get 2 or 3kw of heat out by putting 1kw in.
He also predicted the government’s stated aim of artificially increasing gas prices to match electric.Bearing in mind a more than 100% increase in the price of gas.
As for a fridge in reverse I’ve never seen a fridge yet that has great big fan or any fan in its system and certainly doesn’t create 2 or 3x as much energy as put in.
On that note if it was true we would obviously be using massive heat pumps instead of nuclear power stations or wind turbines to generate electricity.Last try.
If electrical energy is converted into thermal energy, then yes, 1kW of electric will convert to 1kW of heat. (Assuming 100% efficiency)
A heat pump is not doing this. A heat pump could indeed be run using a petrol V8 (bet that woke you up!) but for simplicity we are discussing those run by electric motors.
A heat pump is not converting electricity into heat, it is moving heat from one place to another place. It is not “making” heat.
It works by taking heat from a cooler place, (inside a fridge/outside in the winter) and depositing it in a warmer place (outside the fridge/inside in the winter).
1 kW of electricity can move up to 3kW of heat.
I repeat that 1kW of electricity is not being converted into heat. It is moving heat.It is not a case of “creating energy” in any way.
Conservation of energy is retained at all times. The heat lost by one place, (inside the fridge/a winter day) is the same as the energy gained by (outside the fridge/inside the house) another place.
A ‘heat pump’ clearly has no connection to how a fridge works ( compression of refrigerant gas to liquid followed by evaporation back to gas ).
It also clearly can’t turn 0 degrees ambient air temperature into 22 degrees room temperature on the basis of 1 kw of energy in for every 3 kw of heat energy out.
As I said if the claim was true we obviously wouldn’t be bothering with nuke/biomass/gas fuelled power stations or wind turbines.
We’d obviously be using closed loop feedback massive heat pump power stations on the basis of 3kw of heat energy out (moved) for every 1kw generated by it.
Its a scam just like the idea that CO2 cooked Venus.The truth is you can’t take/‘move’ 3kw of heat energy out of freezing temperature air.Just like you can’t run a steam turbine on cold water.
While in view of your belief in the idea surely you’d have got one by now.
To make optimum use of all that cheap safe French nuke power.
Rather than France closing down its nuke power stations and trying to get its hands on as much of our North Sea gas as Boris can export there.
