Electro Pulse Boring: An Experimental Rock-breaking Technology for Low-cost Access to Ubiquitous, Inexhaustible, Autonomous, Ultra-deep (5-10 km) Geothermal Heat

Leighty W.C., The Leighty Foundation, US

Deep geothermal heat is Humanity's only potential benign, baseload, inexhaustible, Earth-ubiquitous, and potentially-affordable energy source for all purposes. But we cannot afford to bore deep enough with today's prevailing rotary, abrasive, prevailing technology. "Electro Pulse [...]

Renewables-source Hydrogen Systems: Alternatives to Electricity for Transmission, Storage, and Integration

Leighty B., The Leighty Foundation, US

Electricity systems will be inadequate to humanity's urgent task of rebuilding its largest industry -- energy -- from ~85% fossil today to 100% renewable sources by Year 2100. To supply all energy, from all sources [...]

Renewables-source Energy Storage for < $1.00 / kWh Capex as Hydrogen and Ammonia C-free Fuel Systems

Leighty B., The Leighty Foundation, US

Electricity systems will be inadequate to humanity's urgent task of rebuilding its largest industry -- energy -- from ~85% fossil today to 100% renewable sources by Year 2100. To supply all energy, from all sources [...]

Low-cost Transmission, Storage, and Integration for Renewable-source Energy: Hydrogen and Ammonia C-free Fuel Systems with Underground Pipelines, Salt Caverns, and Liquid NH3 Tanks

Leighty B., The Leighty Foundation, US

Solar and wind are the lowest-cost renewable sources, but are intermittent. New, low-cost transmission and storage infrastructure will be needed as we convert the world’s largest industry -- energy -- from fossil to renewable sources, [...]
