Is Viktor Schauberger's Klimator a Real Invention?

  • Thread starter Biotics

In summary, the conversation discusses the physical possibility of an OS:Klimator and the understanding of hot air rising and temperature lapse with altitude. It is explained that temperature is the kinetic energy of molecules and how this impacts the density of hot air bubbles. It is also mentioned that when going up a mountain, there is less air and therefore a lower average kinetic energy. The statement that hot air sinks to the valleys is deemed as nonsensical.

Hello! I'd like to know if this http://peswiki.com/index.php/OS:Klimator:Main_Page is physically possible & whether someone on here may of made one.
Thanks

No.
They show a complete lack of understanding of hot air rising and temperature lapse with altitude.

Figures. Could you explain why please? :)

One way to look at temperature is that it is the kinetic energy of a molecule. Basically, how fast the molecule is moving. When you measure temperature with a thermometer you are actually measuring the average kinetic energy impacting the device. Some molecules will be moving fast some are moving slow.

Bubbles of hot air rise in a house because the fast moving molecules push each other farther apart making the bubble of hot air is less dense (it weighs less so it floats).

When you go up a mountain there is less air.
The molecules can be moving much faster than the hot air molecules in the house (and thus be hotter), but there is less of them. So the average kinetic energy transferred to the thermometer is lower and it will show a colder temperature.

Saying hot air sinks to the valleys is pure nonsense.

Ah ha. Thank you very much :) That does make sense
 

What is Viktor Schauberger's Klimator?

Viktor Schauberger's Klimator is an invention created by Austrian forester and naturalist Viktor Schauberger. It is a device that uses natural principles to cool or heat the air without the use of electricity or chemicals.

How does the Klimator work?

The Klimator works by utilizing a series of spiral pipes that create vortices of air. These vortices cool or heat the air by mimicking natural processes such as the air flow of a tornado or the cooling effect of a mountain stream.

What are the benefits of using the Klimator?

The Klimator has numerous benefits including energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, and improved air quality. It also has the potential to reduce or eliminate the need for traditional air conditioning or heating systems, saving money and reducing carbon emissions.

Has the Klimator been proven to work?

There have been numerous experiments and demonstrations of the Klimator that have shown its effectiveness in cooling and heating air. However, more research and testing is needed to fully validate its capabilities.

Is the Klimator available for commercial use?

At this time, the Klimator is not widely available for commercial use. It is still a relatively new invention and is currently being further developed and tested. However, there are some prototypes and smaller-scale versions of the Klimator that have been used in certain applications, such as cooling buildings or refrigerating food.
