A novel nested heat transfer system comprises a plurality of chained enhanced entrochemical cells with nested structures. Each enhanced entrochemical cell includes a first chamber containing desiccant, or a higher concentration solution, and a second chamber containing refrigerant,   or   a   lower   concentration   solution.   Preferably,   the   first   chamber   and   the   second   chamber   are   connected   by   a   conduit.  Furthermore,   a   smaller   chamber   in   an   enhanced   entrochemical   cell   is   encapsulated   by   a   larger   chamber   in   an   adjacent   enhanced entrochemical cell, thus forming a nested structure between the two enhanced entrochemical cells. A chain of enhanced entrochemical cells with a plurality of such nested …

An entrochemical energy transfer system and a related process for obtaining work from environmental thermal energy are disclosed. In one   example,   a   plurality   of   linked   entrochemical   cells   with   nested   chambers   provides   an   aggregate   thermal   gradient   of   each entrochemical   cell   by   transferring   environmental   thermal   energy   in   and/or   out   of   the   plurality   of   linked   entrochemical   cells.   The aggregate thermal gradient generated from the plurality of linked entrochemical cells can be utilized as an environmentally­ friendly energy source for human needs. The entrochemical energy transfer system and the related process for obtaining work from environmental thermal energy utilize a set of entropy transfers …
