What a wonderful Job done on this Documentary. To Explain the Operation Makes it 50% more educational to Watch - than just having words with music. Thankyou
I have a report tommorrow about geothermal powerplants and it was given just earlier, I have stacks of homework to do and this almost five minute video saved me from trying to understand (though very detailed) explanations which wpuld take an awful lot of time (since I'm not that fast to pick up). Just taking time to comment thanks and how much this was a help to me. I look forward to other videos of this channel, thumbs up!
Short summary First the injection tube is then placed to the earth surface to reach the super hot fluid water then it inserted the fluids to the tube to the geothermal power plant then the cycle begins... Steam is then produced because of the low pressure raising from the tube then the super hot fluid flows to the pipeline into the wellhead separator where steam is produced again then the remaining fluids are flown to the second separator called the standard pressure cystallizer then steam is produced and still the remaining fluids are transfered to the low pressure cystallizer where steam is produced then all the standard pressure cystallizer and low pressure cystallizer and wellhead separator steams is flown through the pipelines to the wind turbine the wind turbine then spins because of the high pressure of the steam the turbine spins then the turbine connected to the generator activate where magnet connected to the turbine spins when the magnet spins the wired Cooper surrounding the magnet produces electric current then it is connected to the copper wire outside the generator flows to the transformer the transformer increases the electric currents voltage then flows to the power line then to the transmission lines then to the distribution lines then to transformers that decreases the voltage and to the locals while in the geothermal power plant then remaining superhot liquid is transfered to the Reactor clarifier system where remaining superhot liquid is injected through the production wells to the super hot liquid reservoir
They are running trials in Central Australia using the Fractured rock system. There are a few hurdles to over come yet. 1) The sites are usually hundreds of miles away from the load. 2) If the system of injecting water runs too fast it cools the rocks and makes the site useless. 3) Very expensive to drill to the depths required and with the oil boom drilling equip is in short supply. 4) They cause mini earthquakes. LOL
5) Each site becomes less productive over time as the entire site cools and you'd have to wait a couple of years until it heats up again. 6) water extracted from deep within the Earth is slightly radioactive and contains contaminants like thorium and uranium and it may need to be treated so it doesn't damage generation equipment.
@milofonbil (1) Uranium will not exhaust itself at current usage for over 2,000 years. (2) There is enough domestic production if breeder reactors are produced to provide over 1,000 years of energy with our current domestic stockpiles (3) Commodity prices are always subject to variation, but frankly even with price shocks, it is still dramatically cheaper (4) Nuclear power produces no CO2 (5) The waste can be recycled as it is in france and japan.
+Mabel Salva hi, Mabel i am a student of Indian Institute of technology Madras (India). i am working on geothermal ,i need some help.if u do not mind plz mail me at-(manishvisen99@gmail.com).thanks.
Question!! How much Energy will this produce? In other words what will it replace? and how big of a city will it be able to support? I would be grateful for a reply. Thanks
6)Does not come with an international scale worst-case risk (nuclear melt-down and radioactivity spread over thousands of square miles). 7)Does not cause cancer due to exposing miners to Radon gas. 8)Provides a solid renewable base load. 9)Can also provide heating.
You can use a capped reservoir as opposed to an open loop system. This would offer for better water management and prevent pollution... but I can't imagine the setup costs. I've always been a fan of geothermal energy. The earth's tidal forces would be an excellent source of power. Imagine how powerful this would be if we could drill deeper for a reasonable cost. We could harvest anywhere if you can drill deep enough. Imagine how much power the earth's heat can give us!
@TalksWithDirt yer, no doubt the geothermal energy source is worth investing it for the coming years. Things is investment is non renewables goes further than the energy industry. coal - smelting with iron to form steel for example, a huge industry given everything that stands these days has a steel component. Also, while there is a lack of any other recourse these days, non renewables will continue to rise in value as they become more scarce. but im a geologist not an economist :P
@TalksWithDirt i have no idea what the point of that would be? in addition, it would be hard to full as the gaseous emissions are visually very different, lol.
Noah Thanks. TH-cam has a terrible way of posting threads, my opening statement mentioned the various forms of renewable energy in a way I think you would approve, since I don't like to repeating myself verbatim I rephrased my driving point to give credit to the sources of the renewable energy as opposed to the process names.
3:15 Can someone explain though how turning the turbine actually makes power? its not clear how a turning cylinder makes electricity... i know its about when magnets rotate but where are the magnets? are they at the ends (like one side is pos charge the other neg)? how does the rotation, affect if juice is made or not?
A turbine converts the potential and kinetic energy of a moving fluid (liquid or gas) to mechanical energy. In a turbine generator, a moving fluid-such as water, steam, combustion gases, or air-pushes a series of blades mounted on a shaft, which rotates the shaft connected to a generator. The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy based on the relationship between magnetism and electricity. An electricity generator is a device that converts a form of energy into electricity. Generators operate because of the relationship between magnetism and electricity. Generators that convert kinetic (mechanical) energy into electrical energy produce nearly all of the electricity that consumers use.
@m3talkitten Shure Japan has a lot of geothermal activity which curently are only beeing used in natural baths. So does Iceland where geothermal delviers the majority of their power. There is the chalange of japans earth quakes but that applies to all infrastructure, and the genneral challange that we need to develop better methods of finding the right places to drill. but hay we have done that to oil drilling so why not here :-)
would be better to just drill deeper and use a transfer medium like molten salt in a closed loop to reclaim heat from the magma heat source directly and then transfer the heat energy to stealium or distilled water in a secondary closed loop that powers a steam turbine and generator. using water directly over complicates and is inefficient.
Its also possible to use more efficient media like propane in closed system, that build up much more steampressure at lower temperatures, so u don't need to drill down deep
Theres a few reasons,one oil and coal today is cheap and wide spread and most power plants have invested a lot in it.And while in the long run geothermal is more profitable it cost much more to get going then oil or coal power plants.Safety it a reason as well,if you dig to deep lava may get in the pipe making a mini volcano,its rare with modern technology,but of course its expensive.And not all places are at a good elevation to do this or have trouble mining threw the ground.
It depends on the city location, not only its size. And it will replace a lot of carbon (coal, fuel, gas, etc) that you need to warm and boil water. And if you use this electricity for cars or trains it will also replace these CO2 emissions. Or you can use its heat directly to warm houses during winter instead of nafta, (this is much cheaper for houseowners but it is also a waste of a great potential because it only uses surface heat)
@janouy1234 A 2006 MIT report on geothermal energy found that 13,000 zettajoules of power are currently available in the earth, with the possibility of 2000 zettajoules being easily tap-able with improved technology. The total energy consumption of all the countries on the planet is about half of a zettajoule a year = 4000 years of planetary power. And when we understand that the earth’s heat generation is constantly renewed, this energy is really limitless and could be used forever.
i live in a city where we are using this kind of process since a long time ago, is very nice to hest the water with the magma but we are contaminating the agricultural lands near to the geothermal plant, anyway is better than burn a lot of oil, the best green energy is in the sun, wind and the rivers the goverments need to invest much more in the investigation of this kind of energies and do this process more eficient and cheap for the consumer. At the end we will help the earth a lot.

What a wonderful Job done on this Documentary. To Explain the Operation Makes it 50% more educational to Watch - than just having words with music. Thankyou
WOW. UR COMMENT WAS FROM 9 YEARS AGO
This was produced with big bucks by CalEnergy; more funding for production produces better results.
you are smart....wow

THANK YOU FOR THIS. this is my lesson for my practice teaching tomorrow
wow, we need more of this!!!!
Million thanks for the great knowledge u hv shared...here in Kenya, v hv menengai geothermal power....
Great Idea , nice video
found this so useful for my year 10 assessment task, thank you so much, it was very helpful + 1 like from me :P
This was very instructive
Thank you so much. This came in handy.
Just one word to say! Mind-boggling! Just because they have created such animations 10years ago.
Many thanks for this video!
Well explained than other videos today
Informative video, thank you .
great explanation thanks
This is such a big help! Thank you!!
gagawa mo dito
Ayy hi HAHAAHA
Thank God for this vid! I thought I was gonna go insane since I have a report about Geothermal Power Plant first thing tomorrow! :) :) :)
Very helpful, thanks!
helped me a lot for my science project
nicely done :)
@martinarse yep! also if u drill down like 2-3 miles beneath the surface there is energy obtainable anywhere on land or sea for energy.
very good video. Thanks

very interesting, this help me with my project on energy development 4 science!
THANK YOU!
Can use this in my geothermal presentation for school next monday.
But i think theres a time limit ooo

@NeoAltPower Do you have any idea how much it costs to build a geothermal plant?
Very helpfull for school i wish my teacher was like that!!!!!!!!
thanks! this helped for my homework. ill ask my teacher if he can show us this video
Amazing

Very informative =)
Thank u sir such a informative video😍
Nice.. 🤔Good idea 👍
perfect, thank you
Very clever!
Thank you very much for creating this. This is really a big help for my project. We were going to make a model of a Geothermal Power plant. :)
+Mabel Salva hi, Mabel i am a student of Indian Institute of technology Madras (India). i am working on geothermal ,i need some help.if u do not mind plz mail me at-(manishvisen99@gmail.com).thanks.
Good going, Mabel! 0- emissions longterm energy - you're a pioneer in telling all who listen !
4000 years with this alone acording to mit study from 2006 =)
Great stuff. Marvels of Mother Nature. Providing power directly from the earth's belly!
May i know what software are u using to do this?
Now I finally get it!
great what a explanation
this is so nostalgic!!!!
Awesome! thank you :)
@youtubasoarus Because the areas that yield good geothermal are limited. Google geothermal gradient.
great video even in 2019
nice info
Mantap Gan....
one of the most clean method for energy product. but we need a perfect underground resarvuar
Question!!
How much Energy will this produce?
In other words what will it replace?
and how big of a city will it be able to support?
I would be grateful for a reply.
Thanks
thanks for sharing this video.. it helps me understand geothermal energy more..
Thankyou sir...😍🙏
What is the current technology for going deeper to create a perpetual steam field? Are there significant risk for a steam field to go dry?
How often do steam fields dry up? Has this been a problem in the past?
How advanced!
The vedio was uploaded 14 years ago.😯
Does anyone has any idea about which software app can I use to create videos like these?
well explained
thanks
energy frm earth.wow!!
What is the average cost per kilowatt hour from geothermal power? Is it competitive with hydro and nuclear power electricity generation?
@chaz706 Google Laser drilling and look at Argonne
the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssstttttt video in the worldthank you ..
Nice i have a project on dis due Next monday
6)Does not come with an international scale worst-case risk (nuclear melt-down and radioactivity spread over thousands of square miles).
7)Does not cause cancer due to exposing miners to Radon gas.
8)Provides a solid renewable base load.
9)Can also provide heating.
thnx a lot i can do now my report in physics :)
How much H2O is lost to the atmosphere, so as to deplete the area of the plant's natural hotwater 'aquafirs' supplying the production well ?
What’s the downside? I suspect the fluid and steam are highly corrosive.
You can use a capped reservoir as opposed to an open loop system. This would offer for better water management and prevent pollution... but I can't imagine the setup costs.

Kool. Interesting.
There are a limited locations where you can build them.
Wouldnt it make more sense to build one of these near a river or something ?
the best ever

why the steam are divided to 3 items and then we use again for the same turbine??

its the reversed function of a synchronous motor, and no !, they dont use magnets ... they use wound-rotor connected to a DC source(as magnet)

i turned off the sound and still understood it~ way to go green
If it makes so much sense to use, how come it's barely used worldwide?
