Si la géothermie haute énergie(exemple de Bouillante en Guadeloupe) repose sur l'exploitation de l'eau chaude souterraine, la géothermie profonde utilise la chaleur emmagasinée dans des formations rocheuses peu perméables qui, en l'absence d’eau, est difficile à capter. Il s’agit alors de créer artificiellement des réservoirs géothermiques en profondeur. La technique? Fragmenter en profondeur des roches chaudes par injection d’eau sous pression et créer un échangeur thermique profond via le forage de plusieurs puits. Une boucle est alors établie et l'eau, réchauffée au contact des roches chaudes, cède son énergie à une unité de surface produisant de l'électricité, via une turbine. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9othermie%20profonde

La postcombustión, otro dispositivo, inyecta combustible extra en el escape a reacción y dan al motor un impulso añadido, casi como un cohete. Los aviones a reacción utilizan la postcombustión para despegar o para maniobras muy rápidas o repentinas. Consumen mucho mas combustible y hacen mucho ruido. 4, record 2, Spanish, - posquemador
