RAGNAROK ENGINEERING
WIND POWERED REVERSIBLE HEAT PUMP

What if Ragnarok is the legend of a real event that happened long ago, and will cyclically happen again?  ...there is supporting evidence to suggest this, and that it is connected to solar activity, which is also the real cause of global warming, not the CO2 baloney. (cause or effect??)   Pollution is always bad, but there are many half‑truths in science now because it is compromised by its funding.

Backup Against Electrical Infrastructure Vulnerability

Solar activity drives the Weather, hence the Climate, but severe solar flares can also knock out the electrical power grid and burn electronic devices, including the internet, GPS and vehicle electrics. This is named a "Carrington Event".   But today's society has made itself very vulnerable!   ...Everything has foolishly become existentially inter‑dependent and reliant on electronic technology.   So either by miscalculation or malicious intent (EMP weapons), the system is going to collapse.

Ironically, the rush towards electrification with the green movement has left us even more vulnerable to solar driven climate change!   ...When the collapse comes, even transport and the means of repair will be down.

Adaptable for Cabin Boats

Ragnarok Engineering Survival Kit – Simple heating or cooling that continues to work without fuel or electricity – movable, modular and adaptable.   Off grid living by necessity.


EXPERIMENTAL MODEL

This is independent engineering design and development for wind powered reversible heat pumps, that can be set either as a cooler or as a heater... It could be adapted to be water powered, either by stream or tidal.   ...The operating principle is the 'Stirling Cycle', same as a Stirling 'Hot‑Air' Engine, but backwards – the crank is driven and the output is a temperature differential.   It is therefore a Heat Pump without any chemical refrigerant, only hot air as the working fluid.   A storm force spring overload mechanism is provided.

The key feature is that it is independent of electricity, so it is unaffected by severe solar flares or corona ejections. It will continue to work when all else fails.

Stop trying to prevent 'climate change',
and start thinking how to survive it.
It is a natural solar driven event.
There will be panic ...don't get in the way.

EARTH SPIRIT  Nature can sometimes get very wild, but we must still live in Harmony with her. This is the only way to Survive.  It is an aspect of Gender Balance.

Science, Medicine, Agriculture and the 'Green Movement' have all become detached from the Spiritual, then exploited by big business. Alas it is we that suffer, and will suffer more.   All deception is bad.   Bad religion did a lot of harm in alienating people.   Nature‑Spirituality is different.


The photos show a small experimental model, the test rig for developing the idea.   The design of the full size machine has a 40 foot (12 metre) high tower, with a 14 foot (4.2 metre) diameter eight-bladed wind turbine.   The experimental device in the photos is all open, but operational machines will have fully enclosed Stirling heat pumps.

Insensitive to Electro-Magnetic Turmoil

The Stirling Cycle works by compressing and expanding a fixed quantity of air as it transfers around the engine between hot and cold sides.   It is very simple, there are no valves and no electrics.   Compressing air causes it's temperature to rise – likewise when air is expanding, its temperature drops. It works as a cycle, simple air going round and round.

Stirling 'Hot Air' Engines were a contemporary to the Steam Engine, but are actually thermally very efficient – though bulky.   Because they have no electrics they will still work when modern technologies don't!

Heat pumps must be considered as one component within the whole heat extraction – heat distribution, and insulation system for efficient working. This heat pump is mainly intended for ground source heat input as it is more effective in winter.   It is safe and simple.   Buildings that have both high thermal capacity and good insulation will tend to even out the heat variations due to vagaries in wind speed.

The home built experimental models have been extremely useful in aiding the design development, but the project has now outgrown that stage. Sponsorship for full size prototypes is now needed. Contact

Due to it necessary bulk and wind requirements, it is intended for rural, upland and marine application, being economic in the present but continuing to work without fuel or electricity.   It is therefore a transition tool for continued survival, usable both now and post infrastructure collapse.

A specific rural solution to what will be a general problem!

SURVIVAL OF YOUNG PEOPLE

American Yellow School Bus
Our society protects the young on the surface, but what is their future? ...There is a high probability that our technological society will destroy itself before the natural events of Ragnarok even begin to happen. A technology bubble waiting to burst.   Our young people feel the lies, deceptions, greed and inequalities of society, though there is so much pressure to comply. This is called cognitive dissonance. There is mental distress when fortitude would be needed.   Rogue A.I. technologies – the only way to stop them will be to destroy our own internet!

Our society is therefore hopelessly unprepared to face Ragnarok. The Young of today Are the future!   It is therefore all about helping the survival and skills transfer to as many young people as possible through these events.   Luck will pay a big part... not being in the wrong place at the wrong time. ...But so will being a practical person and thinking independently!

This project is about developing a transition tool to help shelter from climatic stress, hot or cold, that will continue working after 'Carrington Events' while still being economic in the present... A useful piece of kit!
