This presentation by Peter Adams from the Department for the Environmental Acquisition of Thermal Housing addresses the critical challenges in residential heating systems, considering dwindling fossil fuel reserves, the rising demand for energy, and the increasing concerns around nuclear waste. The proposed solutions include innovative designs such as convective high-rise systems and conductive flat-plan alternatives, utilizing advanced hydrogen production methods and remote boiler protection. The strategies aim to provide efficient energy solutions while minimizing environmental impact, ensuring sustainable heating for future generations.

Where Do We Stand? • Dwindling fossil-fuel reserves • Huge amounts of nuclear waste • Increasing demand for energy • Insufficient housing
USA will run out by 2014 Huge amounts of nuclear waste Yucca Mountain will be complete by 2017 at the earliest Dry cask storage unsuitable
Where Do We Stand? • Dwindling fossil-fuel reserves • Huge amounts of nuclear waste • Increasing demand for energy • Insufficient housing
Our Proposal POW! • Convective high-rise • Conductive flat-plan • Remote boiler
Convective High-Rise Protection 8ft of water, 4ft of concrete or 1ft of lead Distribution Wind-powered fans Bonuses Normalisation of flat prices
Conductive Flat-Plan Protection 8ft of water, 4ft of concrete or 1ft of lead Distribution Under-floor conductive transfer Bonuses Hydrogen production
Hot water out Internal water chamber Fuel >8ft External high-surface-area piping Cold water in Remote Boiler Protection >8ft of water Geiger-Müller tubes inside outlet pipes Proximity-protected pipes Distribution Insulated pipes into hot water tanks Bonuses Hydrogen production
Hot water out Internal water chamber Fuel >8ft External high-surface-area piping Cold water in Some Physics Hydrogen Production Radioactivity can split water molecules, enabling hydrogen capping. Energy Potential 10,000 MWd/MTU (Heat 3,000 homes for 3 years!) ? 2.5 million years of light YES! 10,000 MWd/MTU Enough to power the entire USA for thetime it takes to complete this presentation? 10 billion cups of tea How much energy in 1 ton? Enough to heat a house for a year? Enough for ten years?
Summary • SFP = Spent Fuel Pool • Convective high-rise, conductive flat-plan and remote boiler options. • Hydrogen production • Mostly no moving parts • Abundant fuel
