A high efficiency thermodynamic power conversion cycle is disclosed using thermal storage, atmospheric heat exchangers, and wind channeling in a synergistic method. Using the preferred configuration with ground source water, solar collectors, and heat pump including the further preferred utilization of ionic liquids or electride solutions as the working fluid in the system, achieves optimal total energy efficiency and enables otherwise insufficient thermal differentials to effectively generate power.

What is claimed is: 1. A thermodynamic power conversion device comprising:at least one first configuration designed to operate when an ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is greater than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature and at least one first configuration designed to operate when an ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is less than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature, where both configurations comprise:at least one working fluid;at least one reversible pump designed to utilize the at least one working fluid wherein the at least one reversible pump and the working fluid therein are in fluid communication with either at least one external atmospheric interface or at least one liquid-based heat exchanger, wherein the combination of the at least one reversible pump, the at least one working fluid and the contact with either the least one external atmospheric interface or the at least one liquid-based heat exchanger results in an increase in the temperature of the at least one working fluid;at least one expansion device that is operatively coupled via fluid communication to the at least one reversible pump via either the at least one external atmospheric interface or the at least one liquid-based heat exchanger, wherein the at least one expansion device is able to accomplish work as a result of the expansion of the at least one working fluid, whereby as a result of the work generated by the expansion of the at least one working fluid, the at least one expansion device causes the at least one working fluid to undergo a temperature drop; andat least one geothermal condenser that is operatively coupled by fluid communication to both the at least one reversible pump and the at least one expansion device, wherein the at least one geothermal condenser is designed to enable the transport of energy, or heat, to the at least one working fluid,wherein when the ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is greater than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature the at least one working fluid of the thermodynamic power conversion device flows in a direction from the at least one reversible pump to the at least one external atmospheric interface or at least one liquid-based heat exchanger to the at least one expansion device to the at least one geothermal condenser and then back to the at least one reversible pump, andwherein when the ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is less than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature the at least one working fluid of the thermodynamic power conversion device flows in a direction from the at least one reversible pump to the at least one geothermal condenser to the at least one expansion device to the at least one external atmospheric interface or at least one liquid-based heat exchanger and then back to the at least one reversible pump.
