2. The volcano as a heat source
The volcano provides geo-thermal heat to the air-
mass which will store the second sun. A network of
sails, flags, and structures are arranged in a ring
around the volcano in order to create friction in the
convection current. This friction will transfer energy
upstream in the convection current, or towards the
ground away from the volcano. As the energy is
carried again by the convection current, there is
more friction, and the energy is effectively stored in
the air-mass. Although there is loss from the
system, the volcano provides a constant source of
energy to be added to the system.
3. The normal convection current.
As the air expands, it
becomes lighter than
surrounding air. The
energy of the volcano
is in the warm air. As
the air begins to be
displaced, the energy
of heat becomes
kinetic energy, and is
distributed to all of the
moving air. This causes
the air to cool as it
rises, and has the
effect of creating an
energy field. The
energy occupies the
space, not the
molecules of air.
The energy will still follow the laws of thermodynamics, and
disperse at a regular rate. The area will not naturally store
energy for long.
4. A flag in the convection current is a
source of friction.The friction of the flag will
cause an energy transfer
and conversion. Some
kinetic energy of the
flowing air will become
heat once again. The heat
will cause the air to
expand, and the normal
convection will occur. The
heat of the overall
convection system is still
more intense than a flags
heat, so the system
retains its general flow.
This WILL alter the
convection current
overall, but will also have
the effect of increasing
the heat, and slowing the
dispersion of energy from
the area.
The energy is, in effect, “pulled back”. The heat
then contributes to the normal heat, resulting in
more powerful convection, and more intense
friction.
5. Because of the laws of thermodynamics, the heat will
always try to disperse. This will cause the energy to be
most intense at the center of energy storage, where the
energy is unable to disperse.
6. Human activities make flammable
waste. So do volcanoes.
Methane from human and animal waste.
Ash from human
energy use and
volcanic activity
Dust
from our
bodies
and
buildings
Normal
atmospheric dust
and microbes and
methane.
7. Atmospheric pressure causes a compression of the air-
mass, as there is more air over the heat than in other
places (due to the convection). This phenomenon is
why an urban heat island makes rain over a city. (this
rain is acid rain, containing the waste products of the
urban area)
9. Some things the second sun will do.
• Clean the air
• The combustion will add heat to the second
sun, increasing its strength and longevity.
• Increase available wind power to very useful levels.
(harbor and/or road/wall sailing)
• Provide light throughout the night, for trade and
agriculture.
• Attract the attention of the surrounding peoples, and
elevate the status and influence of the creators.
• In effect, the area will become a sort of paradise. I
opine there would even be rain (the cleanest rain) like
a fountain, and plenty of light for vegetation to grow.
