Modular Liquid Heating Assembly

This device uses manufactured containers which are connected via a modular connecter to heat fluids with solar energy. In essence, you reuse containers, connect them in series, and utilize the sun to provide heated fluids. There is energy saved by reusing normally discarded containers, and there is energy saved by utilizing the Sun for heating fluids.

More Efficient Multi-Stage OTEC Power Plants

For decades the scientific world has been dreaming of building enough 100 Megawatt OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) power plants to fill the oceans. Why not take the power from the world’s largest solar collector (the ocean)? Near the equator, the warm water provides power to generate electricity, while the deep cold water can condense the working fluid (refrigerant).
