Alternative Energy

A great amount of thermal energy (heat) is stored in the world’s oceans. Each day, the oceans absorb enough heat from the sun to equal the thermal energy contained in 250 billion barrels of oil. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Systems (OTEC) systems convert this thermal energy into electricity — often while producing desalinated water. […]

The maximum of the hydroelectric power that we use comes from the conversion of the potential energy of dammed water which in turn drives a water turbine, which in turn drives a generator. The energy extracted from water in this method depends on the height of the water and the volume and also on the […]
