I have got a new idea for an invention. It is a cyclical gravity greenhouse liquid capillary action energy generator. What does your company think of the idea. . The idea is that the device uses the same ammount of liquid over and over again due to evaporaton, condensation and capillary acton to generate electricity. It works like an oil wick using water excpet the energy is genearted as the vapour turns to liquid, and rops through turbines.
The device consists of a liquid chamber, an evaporation chamber, capillary action sheets, condensation collectors, turbines, and liquid.
The capillary acton sheets draw liquid up from the liquid chamber into the evaporation chamber at normal temperatures. then the tip of the capillary action sheets in the evaporation chamber are heated to a temperature where they will evaporate the liquid. As liquid evaporates from the sheets, The capillary actiopn sheets draw more liquid from the liquid cham,ber to replace the liquid lost. The liquid is draw natrually upwards. When the liquid evaporates from the capillary action sheets it enters the evaporation cvhamber. The evaporation chamber is of normal tempertures. It is not the evaporation chamber thet causes evaporation, it is the capillary action sheets. The evaporation chamber is of low temperatures to encourage condensation. Only The capillary actiopn sheets need to be heated. Then teh condensatyion falls into condensation collectors, and is used to power turbines before falling back into the liquid chamber. So the same liquid is recycled.
This is a new invention. Just becayse it uses capillary action that does not make it the same as a solar sill, or paper.
They key is capillary action lifting liquid up for free.
The only heating required is on the ti[ of the capillary action sheets, which can be done by heaters or by solar rays or any other device.
When calculations are made for this device remember it is not a solar heater. Capillary action is key to this device.
Tghis deviceis consistent, Other froms of renewmable nergy are incosnsitent because solar energy stops working ibn times of night, high cloud cover, pollution to sky. Wind power stops working at extreme wind speeds and low or no wind speeds. Hydro stops working in droughts, or when river levels control issues restrict use of hydro power.
This device can power itself.
By the energy gained from dropping the liquid being used to evaporate the liquid. Or can be heated using other heating systems.
Remeber the key is capillary action.
Here is a copy of the diagram for the device the key is

Here is my version of a High Voltage Capillary Generator.
you can watch this video to see how a regular Kelvin Generator works here:

Have you built this? Does it not short out in the bottom tank?

There are two my articles about Gravitational Power Plants (GRAPP) with using capillary effect: 1) THE GRAVITY AS A NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE FOR THE 21st CENTURY, I.Prokhorov, "Chemistry, Energy und the Environment", Proceedings of the Third European Workschop on Chemistry, Energy and the Environment, Estoril, Portugal, 25-28 May1997; 2) THE ENERGY OF GRAVITATIONAL FIELD AND VACUUM, I.Prokhorov, "Raumenergie-Technologien 2000", Vorträge des Kongresses vom 15-16 April 2000, Bregenz, Austria.
Citatioin from first article: "The working liquid lifts within the vertical duct 1 to the upper compartment 2. The bottom of the compartment is covered with a thin layer of capillary structure 3. The heat exchangers 4 contact with this layer and they have a thin coating of the same capillary structure. Therefore, the working liquid penetrates from the layer 3 to the heat exchanger coatings and lifts higher along the latreral side of the heat exchangers. Here, heat is put into the liquid and it evaporates. The produced vapour is compressed by the compessor 5 and enters the heat exchangers. Since the vapour is in the state of saturation, its temperature rises in process of compression. As a result, the temperature head rises, the vapour within the heat exchangers condenses and the released heat evaporates the new portions of the working liquid from the capillary coating. The condensate drops in the duct 6 to lower box 7, where hydroturbine 8 is. The energy acquired by the condensate from the Earth´s gravitational field during its fall is transformed to the energy of the turbine rotation. As the hydroturbine rotation energy and the energy absorbed by the compressors depends on the different parameters, we can select such conditions when the second value will be less than the first one. Hydroturbine turns electrogenerator and it produces the electricity. Part of the electricity energizes the compressors (usual 20-30%), other part goes to customers. Condensate enters to vertical duct 1 and cycle repeats".
By my calculation, efficiency of the GRAPP may be 60-80%, the height of duct 400-600 m, specific capital cost (ratio of the common capital cost to the common power) from 0.5 to 1.5 dollar/watt.
