Electric analog of a heat pump

[Stanley514]

Is it possible to create analog of a heat pump which would be able to concentrate potential energy of electrons in one place, using some work, so there would be gain in energy?

Hi.
Impossible. Potential energy cannot be extracted from electron as heat is extracted from gas.

1) There is such a statements that if we arrange one collector on the ground and second one mounted vertically over it at a distance of 2000 meters and both are connected by a conducting cable, there is a difference in potential in summer of about 2,000,000 volts and in winter even of 6,000,000 volts and more.

How much energy could we harness in this way?

Do you mean like a capacitor?

Not only possible, but widely used.
