Human Passive Energy Systems – Breathing
If energy, resources and environment are depleting then what are the passive energy systems that Humans can use to survive up to 2050.
This is the analysis that covers the passive energy system of Breathing.
Environment and Atmosphere
If the Environment is the chemical factory of the Earth then the Atmosphere is one of the chemical factories production lines for the building of life.
These are the chemicals that formed the environment.
C + O + H + N
These are the chemicals that it developed
N2 + O2 + Ar + CO2 + Ne + He + CH4 + Kr + H2 + N2O + Xe + O3 + CO + SO2 + NO2 + NH3

Plants
Plants take in the atmosphere and respire it out.
These are the chemicals they use and produce from the atmosphere chemical factory.
Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Plants taking in energy from a water environment (Anaerobic)
These are the chemicals they use and produce from the land and water chemical factories of the Earth.
Glucose forms Lactic Acid + Carbon Dioxide + Energy + Water = Glucose + Oxygen
C6H12O6 forms 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Energy (variable ) + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Fish
Fish take in chemicals and gases from the water environment.
These are the chemicals they use and produce from the water chemical factories of the Earth.
Water + Glucose + Oxygen = Water + Carbon Dioxide + Energy
6H2O + C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O+ 6CO2 + Energy
Humans and Animals
Humans take in the atmosphere and respire it out.
These are the chemicals they use and produce from the atmosphere and water chemical factories of the Earth.
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy 2900 KJ/mol Adenosine Triphosphate
Inside Humans and Animals the chemicals are reduced in density and absorbed.
They are then expelled by breathing out (Anaerobic)
These are the chemicals they produce into the atmosphere chemical factory.
Glucose = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Lactic Acid + Energy
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + 2C3H6O3 + 120 kJ/mol
The inter-dependency of life within a closed system is then clear through the repetition of chemical interaction.
C + O + H + N
= N2 + O2 + Ar + CO2 + Ne + He + CH4 + Kr + H2 + N2O + Xe + O3 + CO + SO2 + NO2 + NH3
= 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
= C6H12O6 forms 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Energy (variable ) + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
= 6H2O + C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O+ 6CO2 + Energy
= C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy 2900 KJ/mol is released from glucose Adenosine Triphosphate
= C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + 2C3H6O3 + 120 kJ/mol
Human Passive Energy Input Gain
Humans take 10 to 18 breaths per minute.
Each breath lasting 2 seconds.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory
This is 1440 minutes per day x 10 = 14400 breaths per 24 hours.
Allowing 16 litres per hour per 600 breaths of oxygen consumption.
Allowing for 4.7 kcal of energy released for every litre of oxygen consumed
= 16 x 4.7
= 75 kcal/hr
Total passive energy input gain per hour per 600 breaths = 87 w/hr
Total passive energy input gain per breath = 7 wh = 0.0019 w/sec
Source: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/biology/metab.html
Therefore there is a Passive Energy gain for humans of
100,800 to 181,440 wh/day from breathing.
Human Technology Need
Humans have a very tenuous energy link to the environment chemical factory of the Earth.
Humans can survive six minutes without breathing.
This indicates a very economic use of the energy input into a human being by breathing in.
Life energy is not the only output from breathing. There is also the long term chemical repair that this energy undertakes and there is the long term oxidation effect on the human cellular system until it can no longer self repair and it dies.
Despite this tenuous link to survival there is no additional technology need.
Only the Environment, the Atmosphere and Plants are needed to be preserved and used by humans.
