gravitational potential IS input
Cloxxi, I'll demonstrate something very simple that demonstrates you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, indisputably, and have no business even commenting on these kind of systems.
First, over 1.0 COP happens with systems that are under 100% efficient. This is not debatable (with any common sense at least).
Here is a department of energy website:
Energy Savers: Selecting and Installing a Geothermal Heat Pump System
Here is a quote from this DOE website:
"If you are purchasing a geothermal heat pump and uncertain whether it meets ENERGY STAR qualifications, ask for an efficiency rating of at least 2.8 COP or 13 EER."
Do not be mislead by them saying efficiency and equating that with COP - "efficiency rating" is what COP is but COP is not the same as EFFICIENCY. If you want to make a bogus argument it is the same, then you are claiming that DOE admits 280% efficiency system - so please don't even try.
So even according to a DOE website, there are over 1.0 COP systems and they recommend that it should be at least 2.8 COP. That means there is 2.8 TIMES the amount of work done compared to the power that it takes to run the unit. The heat pump requires electricity or some other form of power from the wall or whatever in order to run the system. I can assure you that the compressor is running at under 100% efficiency. Where does the other input come from? From free environmental heat, whether it is in the air, in a pond of water or deep in the ground. It is not magic.
To make infantile comments about the ball needing to bounce higher on each bounce in order to be over 1.0 COP is the SAME as saying that the heat pumps needs have zero losses in the compressor when being powered by wall electricity in order to be over 1.0 COP. There is NO DIFFERENCE in the argument.
If a ball is dropped and it bounces to 83% of the previous height, the EFFICIENCY is 83% - that is NOT the same as COP! For the ball to bounce higher than it did on the previous bounce, it would have to be over 100% efficient and that has absolutely nothing to do with making an over 1.0 COP claim.
Here's the thing, I could honestly care less if the ball is over 1.0 cop or not and I could honestly care less if my model was 100% incorrect. I have no problems being wrong. What I do have a problem with is when goofball cynics use feeble minded arguments that have more holes than a fish net and when there are lies, false arguments and deceit involved, it speaks for itself who in the argument is actually sincere and authentic.
Suffice it to say, even though I don't support the DOE because I think it is a fraud, it is a "credible" reference that admits a device exists that produces more work than it takes to run it and this is commonly accepted for heat pump technologies. It also proves for a device to do more work than it takes to run it that it can be under 100% EFFICIENT because if you want to claim that the compressor is over 100% efficient would be another one of the most ridiculous false arguments anyone could make.
And your battery comments - those have already been done!
And to say conservation of energy still has to be part of it is like saying we still have to teach the world is flat even though we know it is round. There is no such thing as conservation of energy.
Your arguments are the real insult to the intelligence by describing the whole elephant when you are blindfolded and you only have your hand on the tail.
------------------------------------------------------------
Raise 1kg a meter and it is said to have 9.8 joules of potential available to do work. BUT, the classical claim is that you stored 9.8 joules in the object by lifting it to that height and that "energy is conserved".
Dig a 1 meter hole next to the same object and tell me how much potential did you just store in the object/ball/whatever?
How much energy did you conserve in that object by digging the hole next to it? I'd really like to hear this one.
The ball performed zero work, it wasn't lifted against gravity, yet it still has 9.8 joules of potential energy.
The ball can be 1 mile away and it still has 9.8 joules of potential energy with respect to the bottom of the hole!!!!!
And get this - I can place 100,000 balls weighing a kilo each all over a football field and dig one single hole 1 meter deep - an voila! That is 9.8 joules of potential energy that mysteriously appeared in every single ball on the entire field at the exact same time! How can that be?
Even according to one of your cynical associates "letsreplicate" and "replaced" - those 2 peas in a pod, stated that a ball on the table will do the same work when dropped to the ground as it will if I lifted the ball to the same height of the table. OF COURSE IT WILL, but the point is, the joules of potential "stored" in the ball on the table is "energy conserved"? lol
Therefore, by digging one single 1 meter deep hole, I have just "stored" or "conserved" 980,000 joules of energy just like that in all the balls simultaneously (according to the classical explanation of storing or conserving energy) - actually, I just "stored" or "conserved" enough joules of energy in every single object on ground level of the entire planet Earth by digging one single hole.
This example is absolutely preposterous - and that is because the classical explanation of potential energy being stored in an object as you lift it or energy being conserved in the object is preposterous.
I dug a hole, performed ZERO work on the ball to lift it (since it is just sitting on the ground), yet I established the same potential energy in the ball as if I lifted it to a meter?
Of course the rebuttle will claim work was done by the earth to raise the ground the balls were on and that is where the conserved energy or potential came from that the balls get when they roll into the hole. They'll go to any lengths.
I can guarantee you that the ball next to the hole I dug will do the same amount of work when it rolls into the hole as it will if it was lifted a meter and dropped to the ground.
What does this example actually show?
It shows the conventional explanation of storing potential or "conserving energy" is a psychological smoke and mirrors show based on manipulating one's PERSPECTIVE.
If something is a matter of perspective, it is not an actual difference but a perceived one. Is a glass half full or half empty? That is perspective and not an actual difference in the intrinsic quality of the water - the water is simply at the 50% line.
People's ideas of efficiency are the same. A heating element is 100% efficient at producing heat. If there was no glow to it, it would be a 0% efficient light bulb. If it glowed 10%, it is a 10% efficient light. And if it glowed 10% but was INTENDED to be a heating element, it would be a 90% efficient heating element. The efficiency is based on the INTENDED work - it does not mean other work is done!!
So to claim a ball isn't bouncing higher or isn't performing "work" is ridiculous because falling resistance, impact, compression, etc... those are all WORK and whether it is desired work or not does not negate that work as being work! A bouncing ball's INTENDED work IS TO BOUNCE - NOT to heat and cool your house! And if you add all that real work up, you see the honest story.
Again, there is no such thing as storing potential. The potential is free input from the environment, the real source of potential.
What is funny is that by digging the hole, there was indeed the manifestation of 980,000 joules of potential energy in 100,000 balls simultaneously.
It was only preposterous in the context of believing in "storing" potential energy or "conserving energy".
The reason there is 980,000 joules of potential energy is because it has nothing to do with the ball(s) itself as being the item that has energy conserved in it - it is because before the hole existed, there was no potential difference between the ball and the ground - it was in equilibrium.
The gravitational potential had no ability to cause work on all those balls. Suddenly, digging a hole established a potential difference of 1 meter between the bottom of the hole and 100,000 balls simultaneously - a potential difference was created (dipole or gradient) for gravitational potential input to actually do work with the balls now.
If you dig a 1 meter hole - you can honestly say there are 9.8 joules of potential energy established for each and EVERY SINGLE BALL. It is OBVIOUS energy is not conserved in the balls and it is obvious no potential was stored in the balls at all! We didn't even touch them. The reason there is suddenly almost 1 million joules of potential energy is because the potential is sourced from the gravitational potential!
Every bit of work we did on the hole is long gone - not conserved and cannot be accounted for in 100,000 balls. There can be 10 Million balls and there is still 9.8 joules of potential energy per ball that instantly became a reality by digging one hole. Energy didn't get conserved in balls that had zero work done on them and there is no energy conserved or stored in the hole.
Gravitational potential is the obvious source of potential and is external from the balls mass or lack of mass in the hole.
