Alternative Energy From The Ocean

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) was conceived of by the French engineer Jacques D’Arsonval in 1881. However, at the time of this writing the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii is home to the only operating experimental OTEC plant on the face of the earth. OTEC is a potential alternative energy source that needs to be [...]

Exploring Alternative Energy – How To Use The Ocean To Generate Electricity

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 [...]
