With water encompassing over 70 percent of the Earth, it would make sense to try and gain alternative energy from the ocean. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion or OTEC is a way to do just that. French engineer Jacques D’Arsonval is the brainchild of the idea. In 1881, he felt that the thermal energy of the [...]
The energy crunch is a real worldwide crisis as fossil fuel supplies decrease and populations increase. Utility costs are going up in pace with the increasing demand for electricity. It’s no wonder that the alternative energy arena is a quickly growing market with millions of dollars invested every year. And of these great clean renewable [...]
With today’s ever growing concern over pollution, high fuel costs (Don’t let the recent decline fool you), and sustainability of our natural resources, we must look to alternatives to ease or eliminate our dependence on the things that cause those concerns to begin with. Oil and coal are our two main sources for our energy [...]
The OTEC association, standing for the conversion of ocean thermal energy, was founded by French engineer called Jacques D’Arsonval back in 1881. The only remaining plant that is still a member of the OTEC is based in Hawaii and represented a natural energy laboratory. OTEC represents a source that can produce alternative energy which is [...]
We need energy to do things in this world. In every aspect of our life, we find ways to harness it and use it in a constructive manner. But conventional sources are getting depleted fast, which leads to a need for renewable energy sources. There are quite a few promising sources that can be considered. [...]
