And second, basic physics or thermodynamics says that it is very difficult to extract much energy from a low temperature difference. The term “low-heat-capacity” fluid looks like bafflegab to me. I would not waste a lot of time trying to master it! IanM As I see it, basically rubbish. First of all, the system is just a fancy arrangement for a storage battery.
