Foam solar sea power plant
Abstract
In the accompanying report Beck suggests a new type of open-cycle system for obtaining power from the ocean's thermal gradient. A modification of this open-cycle plant which will ensure a high efficiency, and also a low capital cost per unit power output, is described here.
