Methods of getting free electricity

[Minerjoe]

You can find online these portable solar panels. They look like large printers. However, these can power 1 or maybe 2 S5 miners max and cost a lot of money.

"Interplanetary satellites that fly toward planets such as Jupiter and Saturn are so far away from the sun that they cannot use solar panels to generate electricity. These satellites use RTGs (radioisotope thermoelectric generators) to generate their power. An RTG uses radioactive material (like plutonium) to generate heat, and thermocouples convert the heat to electricity. RTGs have no moving parts, so they are reliable, and the radioactive material generates heat for many years."

but you need radioactive materials, maybe it can work in a small amount without being unsafe

there is a way to convert the heat from device that use electricity, to electricity again? i think it may be against the thermodynamic law

Well nothing to do i have free electricity till my father gets retired !

Your country perhaps is China. where government officials shall be free things including diamond , gold,....

The GPHS-RTG model used in most recent missions uses 7.8kg of Pu-238 and generates 300W of electricity. If you can find 35lbs of plutonium, you could power an S5 this way using two of them. Of course, rather than using them to power an S5 you might want to sell them to NASA for $50M each.

You can recover heat from a device using the same effect, but you need a temperature differential across your recovery device. Essentially, you do so at the cost of making the miner run hotter all else being equal.

that's interesting, are 35lb of plutonium dangerous for your healthy, i mean you can just use them like they are aluminium or something

so if i can find a ay to run the mine hotter and then stop it to refrigerate, and repeat again it would be possible?

If you have 35lb of plutonium, you should bail on the whole Bitcoin thing and look for buyers of your plutonium. Way big profit there.

Plutonium? Is this back to the future? lol

Gasifiers are a proven technology, and they work extremely well.
I have years of research and dev on home builds. It takes skill in welding fabrication, small engine repair, electrical knowledge and alot of patience...
But it's very rewarding. There are many places which sell units ready to operate, but you will pay dearly for them.
good luck.

Have you built one, can you give some more details about them? Why do you think they work extremely well, what are your examples. 

[Snipe85]

The idea is actually very good and you can build this thing from scrap.
Here's a good video that should explain all the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6e3CprVTi8

It's radioactive, figure it out ;P

Those plutonium generators were being used in the Soviet era and they are completely safe and self running. The fuel capsule is enclosed in a shell cooled by a closed loop. You can find a lot of them being sold for scrap in Russia or just lying around, rusting away.
