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 from Earth's day and night thermal energy inflows and outflows. Furthermore, in one example, the process for obtaining work from environmental thermal energy involves two steps, each step resulting in entropic increases and transfers.
