摘要：A Geothermal Canal With Hydrostatic System for Use in a Geothermal PowerPlant, providing an apparatus which collects heat from hot rocks located beneath theearth's surface and transfers the heat into water to be flashed into steam for the

production of electricity. This invention is for use in all locations, including those with lowsub-surface temperatures and those with no near-surface thermal reservoirs. Thisinvention comprises (a) a Geothermal Canal which comprises (i) a vertical shaft or shafts,10 feet in diameter, extending to a depth of at least 10,000 feet; (ii) a horizontal shaft orshafts, 10 feet in diameter, which extends from the vertical shaft or shafts and is at least1,000 feet in length; and (iii) an intake grate; (b) a Hydrostatic System which equalizes thepressure in the Geothermal Canal, allows for independent control of the pressure indifferent areas of the Geothermal Canal, and allows objects and water to pass throughthe Geothermal Canal; (c) a Material Transfer System which allows material to betransported throughout the Geothermal Canal; (d) a Borehole System which extractsheat from surrounding, hot rock by driving water through hot rock either via a radiator-like system or via a hot fractured rock system; and (e) a Power Plant which flashes theheated water into steam and convert it into electricity.
