How can we use heat as an alternative power source?

Question

fires heatwaves?

Answer 1

we can use sun like solar energy  and can use as a alternative of current.we can use its power and can save a huge amount of current which we can use in future.

Answer 2

Its funny how we run an ac during the summer which produces heat and then also have a water heater that needs heat.

By all means dont listen to me though.

I'm just trying to start one of those conspiracy things.

Answer 3

Take a class in thermodynamics. That will get you started.

Answer 4

what are you going to use to generate the heat, how would you capture the energy in heat, store it and use it later?

Answer 5

well you can use heat to heat your water at home instead of using an electric or gasoline hot water heater.

These passive systems are very efficient and can supply most of your hot water needs throughout the year, but at some point (especially in cold climates) you have to turn it off or have a different way to heat the water (tankless water heater).

Passive water heating is an excellent way to save alot of money on your energy bills.

Answer 6

It already is, it is known as "co-generation".

In order to be viable it has to be consistenty available.  Once you have a forest fire in one location, how do you start another forest fire in that same location?

Answer 7

Well there are things you can do to help reduce the amount of harm you are causing the enviroment, you can do this by offsetting your carbon on websites such as; www.co2debt.com . On these sites you are able to prevent climate change by funding ethical reforestation projects. I personally found that www.co2debt.com was the best site for this because of their strong relationships with other non-profit organizations. After researching alternative fuels i found that just offsetting your carbon is the best way to stay enviromentally friendly.

Answer 8

What heat?  The heat of burning oil?  The heat of burning coal?  The heat of collecting sunlight (solar collectors)?  The heat given off by a nuclear reactor.

Heat isn't alternative, it is what we use.

Answer 9

duuuh-it usually takes heat to make any power elec. cars etc.i work at power plant

Answer 10

Fresh water and salt can be made from seawater and the sun.   A stirling engine can produce electricity from hot air as long as you have a source of cold air/water too.   Fires clear out underbrush and produce ash which plants use as fertilizer.   Heatwaves evaporate water that will eventually fall as rain which can turn a turbine if stopped behind a dam.
