- BenjiWiebe 5y agoNope. Heat is disorganized high entropy energy. We can't convert it into lower entropy energy like electricity or motion. Now, a heat difference (resulting in heat movement) can be made to do useful work.
- jbrot 5y agoMy understanding is that underground is a constant 50-60°F — wouldn’t that provide a heat difference?
- alephaleph 5y agoYep, there are even commercial applications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump
- ArcturianDeath 5y agoI would hallucinate the heat death of the universe, or so it resembled, when I was a kid. In my late twenties, something occurred, my eyes glowed at night, things were like that movie, information was emanating, I saw everything. Underneath, its horses running, and snakes. I interfered with electrical equipment, a sweet flavor was always dripping, I started to float
