Abstract

The Earth's infrared energy storage is substantial, and its large-scale utilization could effectively ameliorate the greenhouse effect on Earth. Several applications of utilizing Earth's infrared radiation for cooling and power generation are summarized based on existing literature. Building upon this foundation, the use of water as an excellent energy storage medium is proposed, and a long-wave energy storage system is designed. This system can harness the immense energy density of long-wave infrared radiation with fixed bandwidth or wavelength. A comprehensive study on large-scale application is outlined in four aspects, leveraging the energy storage and radiation advantages of the system: (a) Long-wave infrared is efficiently transported using hollow glass infrared fibers for room cooling and heating. This addresses the issues of separate terminals for capillary radiation air conditioning, high costs, and maintenance challenges. (b) Building on existing literature, taking Hainan as an example, the utilization of a temperature difference of approximately 15 °C between the lowest and highest temperatures in a day for power generation is suggested. (c) The composition and structure of planar antennas are derived, and parameter selection for rectifying diodes is proposed based on radiation fluctuation theory and antenna theory. This lays a theoretical and practical foundation for converting long-wave radiation waves using rectifying antennas. (d) The long-wave radiation quantum theory is utilized to propose the concept of manufacturing components that can directly convert energy from long-wave radiation. In each of these four aspects of large-scale utilization, the emphasis is on water's excellent insulation, storage, and radiation properties, presenting new perspectives for the widespread utilization of Earth's infrared and offering a quick pathway for humanity to explore new energy sources and mitigate the greenhouse effect on Earth, facilitating a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

地球的长波红外线：可扩展应用的回顾与研究

地球的红外能量储存量巨大，大规模利用红外能量可以有效改善地球的温室效应。根据现有文献，总结了利用地球红外辐射制冷和发电的几种应用。在此基础上，提出了利用水作为一种优良的储能介质，并设计了一种长波储能系统。该系统可以利用固定带宽或波长的长波红外辐射的巨大能量密度。利用该系统的储能和辐射优势，从四个方面概述了大规模应用的综合研究：（a）利用中空玻璃红外纤维有效传输长波红外线，用于室内制冷和制热。这解决了毛细辐射空调的独立终端、高成本和维护难题。(b) 在现有文献的基础上，以海南为例，建议利用一天中最低气温和最高气温之间约 15 ℃ 的温差进行发电。(c) 根据辐射波动理论和天线理论，推导出平面天线的组成和结构，并提出整流二极管的参数选择。这为利用整流天线转换长波辐射波奠定了理论和实践基础。(d) 利用长波辐射量子理论，提出了制造可直接转换长波辐射能量的元件的概念。在这四个方面的大规模利用中，都强调了水的绝热、储能和辐射特性，为广泛利用地球红外线提出了新的视角，为人类探索新能源和缓解地球温室效应提供了一条捷径，促进了人与自然的和谐共处。
