Geothermic Energy. How?

731 viewsOther

I found recently the existence of Geothermic Energy and i didn’t really understand It.

There are zones where the underground is so hot we can get energy (Electricity) from it. How?

I read that One of the first to do It was in Italy, in the 1904 or something, and i don’t understand how could they build something without…well die. If the heat is so High wouldnt people be hurt? How could they build something like that? I guess that now is more easy but at that time how was that even possible?

It doesn’t require special pockets of high heat, though they can be harnessed. Basically, everywhere that you dig, the ground is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the Earth is really big and has a huge thermal mass, so if you move energy from that ground it will heat back up from the energy of the ground around it and you can continue removing heat from it.
