This captivating book delves into the fascinating history of how humans have harnessed the power of fire to create materials, machines, and power plants. It explores the diverse fuels used throughout history, their advantages and disadvantages, and the ongoing efforts of "climate rescuers" to eliminate fire completely and replace it with electricity from photovoltaics and wind power. However, the book raises important questions about the feasibility of solar panels and windmills as sufficient solutions to meet the world's energy needs. It highlights the limitations of these renewable energy sources and emphasizes the need for alternative approaches.
The book presents facts and evidence to support its arguments, challenging the notion that combustion and thermal engines are solely responsible for environmental hazards. Instead, it points to the fuels used in the past as the true culprits. The book advocates for feeding the fire with nature-compatible fuels, allowing it to unfold properly in efficient machines and systems. It provides a systematic and comprehensive explanation of thermodynamic laws and methods for designing highly efficient machines and drives, as well as regenerative, climate-neutral fuels.
This lecture is particularly valuable when enjoyed in the cozy ambiance of a fireplace or beside a campfire. It offers a deeper understanding of the interplay between fire, energy, and the environment, inspiring readers to explore innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Whether you are a curious mind, an environmental enthusiast, or simply seeking knowledge, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the fascinating world of fire and its impact on human civilization.
