Welcome to the future of World Energy Production
Have you ever dreamed of a world where you no longer have to see large powerplants burning coal, oil or fuel?What about a world beyond nuclear power generation?
It’s here and it’s called ‘GEOthermic Energy’. That’s right … GEOtherMIC.
We’ve all heard of geothermal, but GEOthermic? They are similar in some ways, but vastly different in others,and the outcome is equally as different.
‘Geo’ means Earth – ‘thermal’ means hot water – and ‘thermic’ means heat. So geothermal is either tappingthe Earth’s hot water near geothermal vents close to the surface, or it is injecting cold water into fissures inthe Earth near these thermal vents and pumping it back up to the surface as hot water.
GEOthermic, on the other hand, is a process of tapping the Earth’s heat anywhere on land around the globe atmuch greater depths into our lithosphere (crust) without using water to do so.
The term SIREX has given to its new energy facilities is GEOthermic Power Plant or GPP.

The Natural Sustainable Energy Solution
that Protects our Environment & Powers our World
We can now safelyharvest an unlimitedsupply of deep earth
heat without harmto our environment
using highlyefficient processes
eco-electricity
The losses result only byturbines, generators & transmission.
GEO Power Plants
EFFICIENCY at its BEST
generate and deliver no heat emissions.
GPPs supply more than
3-times eco-electricity with an efficiency of 80% without
burning, depleting and wasting valuabefossil resources.
Fossil & nuclear can achieve only 6% efficiency !
The biggest concerns for our atmosphere today are artificially created Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and man-made Global Warming, and while the debate is still going on as to what percentage of the current atmosphericchanges are due to man’s direct involvement, we know that we’ve contributed to it on some level because of ourinsatiable appetite for heat to run our world – but we can change that. With GEOthermic Energy there is no combustion of any kind and no emissions, and since the heated nitrogen isused to turn the turbines instead of water - there is no water usage and no steam plumes, and since the super-heatednitrogen is recycled through an adiabatic process, no heat is introduced to the atmosphere. But what about underground? The siting for an SVT is done carefully to avoid underground aquifers, oil & methane pockets and other liquid zones,using sub-surface scanning equipment. Once the tunnel is constructed and sealed, the only contents inside thetunnel are nitrogen and heat, and are safe for eco-systems; especially at the depths required for heat capture. Thepressurized tunnel also acts to stabilize both the tunnel and subsurface earth movements; even in earthquake zones.
Economic Viabilityof a GEO Power Plant
GPPs can be built almost anywhere on land around the globe, but doesn’t it make good sense toconstruct an SVT / GPP at the sites of existing, decommissioned power plants? Why not tap theearth’s heat directly under these facilities and use the infrastructure from the existing generatingstation for interconnection to the grid? Either way, here are some things to consider:
• One 10’ diameter SVT with GPP will produce 2,000 [ MW ] of power 24/7/365 indefinitely into the future
• If an SVT only was built under an existing mothballed power plant, capital construction costs would be much less
• There are no fuel supplies or fuel associated costs involved
• An SVT with GPP can be built almost anywhere on land
• Power can be produced at a fraction of the cost of all other renewable, fossil and nuclear power plant technologies
• Desalination plants now become feasible with lower electrical operating costs
• Cities, hyper-buildings, manufacturing plants, etc. can be built on top of a new sub-terrainian SVT/GPP facility
• Electrical output from GPP can power the structure on top of it + extra power can be sold to the grid for revenue
• Create new economies in poverty zones and raise the standard of living everywhere
• Build agricultural greenhouse zones in arctic areas or water rich cities in the desertCopyright © 2008 TurboJack International, Inc. All Rights reserved

About SIREXSIREX is a high-technology, German-American company headquartered in Prescott, Arizona that works in concertwith its sister company ‘Turbojack International Corporation’ (TIC) with over 35 years experience on a number ofpulse innovations that serve as crucial core components for its Vertical Tunneling and GEOthermic Energyprocesses. About 120 innovative applications already exist and many more are in concept, planning, developmentand/or prototype phases. SIREX can claim to be world leaders in these very specific industries and it is our strong desire to provide thecleanest, most sustainable and inexpensive energy supply for our prime electricity needs to every communityaround the globe. We believe this will help bring social, economic and environmental security to ourselves and toour planet and it intended to be the basis for future prosperity for everyone.
Our vision is to completely remake the way electrical power is produced and sold to the end-user, as well ashow we commute – using ‘compressed-air’ technology to power land, air & sea vehicles, and becoming betterstewards for our shared planet.
By producing an unlimited supply of clean energy anywhere around the globe using the heat from our earth'sdeep crust, we believe that a new economic base can be created for all nations that will help stabilize the livingconditions of everyone, plus help reverse the damage to our atmosphere and health, and provide new clean waterto almost anywhere.
