CAJ 5 - Infrared energy?



I just stumbled upon a very interesting article on the website “www.zeitnews.org”. It is about a possible new way of creating energy be using temperature differences. Physicists found out that heat that leaves the atmosphere could be used as a power source just like solar energy, which is basically heat entering our atmosphere. This could be accomplished by devices collecting energy by releasing infrared light. One possible model for this would be a solar cell which collects incoming sunlight during the day and collects leaving infrared light during the night. I must say that I like this idea very much. It would mean that solar energy is even more efficient and also that there would be just one device that can generate both types of energy.
