Re: Heating Water by direct mechanical energy. I did some research on this several years ago, under a DOE Grant.
The equipment that was used consisted of a vaned rotor inside of a internal vaned housing. In effect an inefficient centrifugal pump. Careful measurements were made of : Intake Power RPM x Torque Water temperature at inlet Water Volume at inlet (Flow Meter) Water temperature at outlet The system was used to heat the shop area as a load. Efficiency greater than 90%. I would be glad to supply further data for a small fee to cover costs. Since the work was done under a DOE Grant the technology is free.
