  12. Re:Old News on Harnessing Vertical Sea Temperature Gradient · · Score: 1

    What about using the water in a sort of siphon to go down to the bottem of the ocean and thus pump the water back up(not 100% efficent but reduces the power requires)?

  13. Re:Unfortunately, it's not a passive energy source on Harnessing Vertical Sea Temperature Gradient · · Score: 1

    Very true, but there are ways to mitigate this. Instead of taking the deep cold water and dumping it at the surface, the system can re-inject the water at the appropriate depth to match the 'normal' temperature at that depth. The trade-off for doing this is reduced efficiency, since now you have to pump the water up and back down again, but it greatly reduces the local environmental impact.

    Yes it reduces the efficiency but not in the way you suggest because you use the water going down to pump the water back up.
