Abstract
This is a method, and apparatus for practicing the method, for the transfer of geothermal energy and for its use in the production of power, wherein an energy extractor is placed within each of two wells (or within each well of two groups of wells) in such manner that the steam created by a geothermal aquifer into which the well is drilled creates power by passing over the energy extractor in one well (or group) and the steam is further passed beyond the energy extractor within the well and brought out of the well for further power generation, and, in which the condensate returns to the aquifer through the second well, and, wherein a reversible flow arrangement is provided whereby the steam may be alternately taken from the second well (or group) and utilized, with the condensate going back to the first well (or group) in such manner that solids deposited within each well are alternately eliminated, and the heat of the aquifer is uniformly maintained.
