Diagram illustrating how heat in the earth and water can provide heating for homes and factories. City Electrical Engineer of Norwich, where using pipes containing a liquid chemical with a low boiling point, such as sulphur dioxide, placing them underground, the chemical would collect heat from the earth and eventually vaporise. In 1947 britain had a harsh winter, with several cold spells, bringing large drifts of snow to the country, which caused roads and railways to be blocked. Coal supplies, already low following the Second World War, struggled to get through to power stations and many stations were forced to shut down for lack of fuel.

1. Title: "Winter Warmth from the Earth: A Diagram of Heating from the Ground during the 1947 Fuel Crisis in Britain" 2.. The harsh winter of 1947 brought unprecedented challenges to Britain as several cold spells blanketed the country with large drifts of snow, disrupting roads and railways. Coal supplies, already low following the Second World War, struggled to reach power stations, leading to a severe fuel crisis. In response, innovative solutions were sought to keep homes and factories warm. This diagram, published in the Illustrated London News in 1947, illustrates the ground-breaking concept of heating from the earth and water. City Electrical Engineer of Norwich, G.H. Davis, proposed the use of pipes containing a liquid chemical with a low boiling point, such as sulphur dioxide, placed underground. The chemical would collect heat from the earth and eventually vaporize, providing a renewable source of heat. During the winter of 1947, this system proved to be a valuable alternative to traditional coal-based heating. As the country faced a fuel shortage, households and factories in Norwich were able to continue their operations, keeping the city warm and functional. This innovative solution, though not widely adopted at the time due to its high initial investment and operational complexities, paved the way for future advancements in geothermal heating technology. Today, this system is a crucial component of sustainable energy production and a vital tool in mitigating fuel crises. [Source: Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans]
