stores with a slight linux bias work is 4 00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:06,640 with a slight linux bias work is 5 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,230 with a slight linux bias work is beginning on what is thought to be the 6 00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:08,240 beginning on what is thought to be the 7 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,790 beginning on what is thought to be the world's 8 00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:08,800 world's 9 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,950 world's first major plant to store energy in the 10 00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:10,960 first major plant to store energy in the 11 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,030 first major plant to store energy in the form of liquid air 12 00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:13,040 form of liquid air 13 00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,030 form of liquid air it will use surplus electricity from 14 00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:15,040 it will use surplus electricity from 15 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,550 it will use surplus electricity from wind farms at night to compress 16 00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:16,560 wind farms at night to compress 17 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,189 wind farms at night to compress air so hard that it becomes a liquid at 18 00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:19,199 air so hard that it becomes a liquid at 19 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:20,550 air so hard that it becomes a liquid at minus 196 20 00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:20,560 minus 196 21 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,269 minus 196 celsius then when there is a peak in 22 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:23,279 celsius then when there is a peak in 23 00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:25,509 celsius then when there is a peak in demand in a day or a month the liquid 24 00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:25,519 demand in a day or a month the liquid 25 00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:28,150 demand in a day or a month the liquid air will be warmed so it expands 26 00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:28,160 air will be warmed so it expands 27 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,990 air will be warmed so it expands the resulting rush of air will drive a 28 00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:30,000 the resulting rush of air will drive a 29 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,830 the resulting rush of air will drive a turbine to make electricity 30 00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:31,840 turbine to make electricity 31 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,270 turbine to make electricity which can be sold back to the grid 32 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:35,280 which can be sold back to the grid 33 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,590 which can be sold back to the grid the system was devised by peter dearman 34 00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:37,600 the system was devised by peter dearman 35 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,430 the system was devised by peter dearman a self-taught backyard inventor from 36 00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:39,440 a self-taught backyard inventor from 37 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,549 a self-taught backyard inventor from herbertshire 38 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:40,559 herbertshire 39 00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:43,110 herbertshire and it has been taken to commercials to 40 00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:43,120 and it has been taken to commercials to 41 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,470 and it has been taken to commercials to commercial scale 42 00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:44,480 commercial scale 43 00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,709 commercial scale with a 10 million pound grant from the 44 00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:46,719 with a 10 million pound grant from the 45 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:48,389 with a 10 million pound grant from the uk government 46 00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:48,399 uk government 47 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:51,350 uk government dr dearman said his inv or mr dear man 48 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:51,360 dr dearman said his inv or mr dear man 49 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,310 dr dearman said his inv or mr dear man said his 50 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:52,320 said his 51 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,189 said his invention was 60 to 70 percent efficient 52 00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:55,199 invention was 60 to 70 percent efficient 53 00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:57,510 invention was 60 to 70 percent efficient depending on how it is used 54 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:57,520 depending on how it is used 55 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,189 depending on how it is used that is less efficient than batteries 56 00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:59,199 that is less efficient than batteries 57 00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:01,029 that is less efficient than batteries but he said the advantage of liquid air 58 00:01:01,029 --> 00:01:01,039 but he said the advantage of liquid air 59 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:03,270 but he said the advantage of liquid air is the low cost of the storage tanks 60 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:03,280 is the low cost of the storage tanks 61 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,230 is the low cost of the storage tanks so it can be easily scaled up also 62 00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:06,240 so it can be easily scaled up also 63 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,230 so it can be easily scaled up also unlike batteries liquid air storage does 64 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:08,240 unlike batteries liquid air storage does 65 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,910 unlike batteries liquid air storage does not create a demand for minerals which 66 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:09,920 not create a demand for minerals which 67 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,230 not create a demand for minerals which may become increasingly scarce as the 68 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:12,240 may become increasingly scarce as the 69 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,230 may become increasingly scarce as the world moves towards power systems based 70 00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:14,240 world moves towards power systems based 71 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,270 world moves towards power systems based on variable renewable electricity 72 00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:17,280 on variable renewable electricity 73 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,630 on variable renewable electricity batteries are really great for 74 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:18,640 batteries are really great for 75 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,950 batteries are really great for short-term storage mr dearman said 76 00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:20,960 short-term storage mr dearman said 77 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,469 short-term storage mr dearman said but they are too expensive to do 78 00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:22,479 but they are too expensive to do 79 00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:24,310 but they are too expensive to do long-term energy storage 80 00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:24,320 long-term energy storage 81 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,270 long-term energy storage that's where liquid air comes in mr 82 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:27,280 that's where liquid air comes in mr 83 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,429 that's where liquid air comes in mr dearman had been developing a car run on 84 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:29,439 dearman had been developing a car run on 85 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:31,350 dearman had been developing a car run on similar principles with liquid hydrogen 86 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:31,360 similar principles with liquid hydrogen 87 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,030 similar principles with liquid hydrogen when he saw the potential for applying 88 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:33,040 when he saw the potential for applying 89 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,149 when he saw the potential for applying the technology 90 00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:34,159 the technology 91 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:37,030 the technology to electricity storage he is now a 92 00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:37,040 to electricity storage he is now a 93 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,109 to electricity storage he is now a passive shareholder in high view one of 94 00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:39,119 passive shareholder in high view one of 95 00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:42,069 passive shareholder in high view one of the firms building the 50 megawatt plant 96 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:42,079 the firms building the 50 megawatt plant 97 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,469 the firms building the 50 megawatt plant the 50 megawatt facility near manchester 98 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:44,479 the 50 megawatt facility near manchester 99 00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:46,469 the 50 megawatt facility near manchester will store enough energy to power around 100 00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:46,479 will store enough energy to power around 101 00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:49,670 will store enough energy to power around 50 000 homes for up to five hours 102 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:49,680 50 000 homes for up to five hours 103 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,990 50 000 homes for up to five hours that is really amazing just to think 104 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:52,000 that is really amazing just to think 105 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,069 that is really amazing just to think that a few thousand years ago we were 106 00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:54,079 that a few thousand years ago we were 107 00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:55,749 that a few thousand years ago we were taking buckets of water up a hill to 108 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:55,759 taking buckets of water up a hill to 109 00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,510 taking buckets of water up a hill to store them and then use that water as 110 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:57,520 store them and then use that water as 111 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,310 store them and then use that water as energy 112 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:58,320 energy 113 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,550 energy we were i remember oh yeah i know just 114 00:02:00,550 --> 00:02:00,560 we were i remember oh yeah i know just 115 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,910 we were i remember oh yeah i know just back in the day right it's just getting 116 00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:01,920 back in the day right it's just getting 117 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,109 back in the day right it's just getting my coffees and everything 118 00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:03,119 my coffees and everything 119 00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:05,270 my coffees and everything no but it's it's remarkable in the sense 120 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:05,280 no but it's it's remarkable in the sense 121 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,109 no but it's it's remarkable in the sense that we're able to use this natural 122 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:07,119 that we're able to use this natural 123 00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:07,990 that we're able to use this natural thing that we breathe 124 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:08,000 thing that we breathe 125 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,990 thing that we breathe every day yeah and use that to store 126 00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:10,000 every day yeah and use that to store 127 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,430 every day yeah and use that to store energy i think that's absolutely 128 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:11,440 energy i think that's absolutely 129 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,430 energy i think that's absolutely fantastic talking about a green energy 130 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:13,440 fantastic talking about a green energy 131 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,309 fantastic talking about a green energy source 132 00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:14,319 source 133 00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,710 source what a clever idea but like how much 134 00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:16,720 what a clever idea but like how much 135 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,990 what a clever idea but like how much pressure 136 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:18,000 pressure 137 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,309 pressure is this thing under more than me 138 00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:20,319 is this thing under more than me 139 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:22,070 is this thing under more than me whenever i had work but still 140 00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:22,080 whenever i had work but still 141 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,949 whenever i had work but still oh boy um no but it's it's a remarkable 142 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:24,959 oh boy um no but it's it's a remarkable 143 00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:25,750 oh boy um no but it's it's a remarkable idea and 144 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:25,760 idea and 145 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,070 idea and i really like how they really focused on 146 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:28,080 i really like how they really focused on 147 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,910 i really like how they really focused on the idea of green energy because again 148 00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:29,920 the idea of green energy because again 149 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,589 the idea of green energy because again unlike batteries where you have to have 150 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:31,599 unlike batteries where you have to have 151 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:33,270 unlike batteries where you have to have all these minerals everything else dug 152 00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:33,280 all these minerals everything else dug 153 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,830 all these minerals everything else dug up 154 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:33,840 up 155 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,550 up you're able to use this it's it's just 156 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:36,560 you're able to use this it's it's just 157 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,030 you're able to use this it's it's just air 158 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:37,040 air 159 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,550 air it's it's under compression and it's 160 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:38,560 it's it's under compression and it's 161 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,470 it's it's under compression and it's able to store energy yes and thinking of 162 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:40,480 able to store energy yes and thinking of 163 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,150 able to store energy yes and thinking of batteries not only do you have to 164 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:42,160 batteries not only do you have to 165 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,630 batteries not only do you have to obtain the resources but when those are 166 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:44,640 obtain the resources but when those are 167 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:45,350 obtain the resources but when those are depleted 168 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:45,360 depleted 169 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,790 depleted when they're no longer able to hold 170 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:46,800 when they're no longer able to hold 171 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,869 when they're no longer able to hold exactly the waste everything else 172 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:48,879 exactly the waste everything else 173 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,430 exactly the waste everything else yeah yeah that's exactly right one less 174 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:51,440 yeah yeah that's exactly right one less 175 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,790 yeah yeah that's exactly right one less thing to worry about and 176 00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:52,800 thing to worry about and 177 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,030 thing to worry about and it's just amazing these technologies and 178 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:55,040 it's just amazing these technologies and 179 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,070 it's just amazing these technologies and i'm curious 180 00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:56,080 i'm curious 181 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,030 i'm curious to see what they think of next i love 182 00:02:59,030 --> 00:02:59,040 to see what they think of next i love 183 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,229 to see what they think of next i love the idea of 184 00:03:00,229 --> 00:03:00,239 the idea of 185 00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:02,070 the idea of an energy source that is able to kind of 186 00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:02,080 an energy source that is able to kind of 187 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,430 an energy source that is able to kind of recycle itself 188 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:03,440 recycle itself 189 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,190 recycle itself yes and that's kind of what this reminds 190 00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:05,200 yes and that's kind of what this reminds 191 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,949 yes and that's kind of what this reminds me of i've thought about and i know it's 192 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:06,959 me of i've thought about and i know it's 193 00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,309 me of i've thought about and i know it's not practical and i know that it's 194 00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:08,319 not practical and i know that it's 195 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:10,070 not practical and i know that it's probably not even possible but 196 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:10,080 probably not even possible but 197 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,869 probably not even possible but um putting like uh you know you know in 198 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:12,879 um putting like uh you know you know in 199 00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:14,710 um putting like uh you know you know in a water source something that can pump 200 00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:14,720 a water source something that can pump 201 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,070 a water source something that can pump the water because 202 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:16,080 the water because 203 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,910 the water because and generate electricity at the same 204 00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:17,920 and generate electricity at the same 205 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,509 and generate electricity at the same time there's so many neat ideas out 206 00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:19,519 time there's so many neat ideas out 207 00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:20,390 time there's so many neat ideas out there 208 00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:20,400 there 209 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,750 there this is something that's actually coming 210 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:21,760 this is something that's actually coming 211 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,589 this is something that's actually coming to pass well that this is the number one 212 00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:23,599 to pass well that this is the number one 213 00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:24,710 to pass well that this is the number one thing because 214 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:24,720 thing because 215 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,270 thing because with in respect to green technology the 216 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:27,280 with in respect to green technology the 217 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,789 with in respect to green technology the big the largest thing that's been 218 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:28,799 big the largest thing that's been 219 00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:29,830 big the largest thing that's been lagging behind 220 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:29,840 lagging behind 221 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,270 lagging behind is definitely being able to store that 222 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:31,280 is definitely being able to store that 223 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,710 is definitely being able to store that energy because again we do have these 224 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:32,720 energy because again we do have these 225 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,949 energy because again we do have these advances in solar power wind power 226 00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:34,959 advances in solar power wind power 227 00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:36,550 advances in solar power wind power but the issue is where do you store all 228 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:36,560 but the issue is where do you store all 229 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,070 but the issue is where do you store all that where do you put it yeah so this 230 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:38,080 that where do you put it yeah so this 231 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,750 that where do you put it yeah so this can definitely be one of those solutions 232 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:39,760 can definitely be one of those solutions 233 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,270 can definitely be one of those solutions that can help us 234 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:41,280 that can help us 235 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,509 that can help us help turn our economy our world into a 236 00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:43,519 help turn our economy our world into a 237 00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:44,630 help turn our economy our world into a more greener place 238 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:44,640 more greener place 239 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,390 more greener place cool down the road so this this is 240 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:46,400 cool down the road so this this is 241 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,750 cool down the road so this this is really really cool here can't wait to 242 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:47,760 really really cool here can't wait to 243 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,789 really really cool here can't wait to see what comes of it 244
