Show Power From Sea, Idea of French Scientist Newest source of power Is a motor mo-tor that derives Its energy from the difference In temperature of sea water nt the surface and deep down. It does not require very great depth to produce a difference of 35 to 40 degrees nnd such a variation va-riation Is ns valuable for power purposes ns water falling 300 feet, explains the French inventor, Claude, who is developing this new form of hydraulic power. Near Havana he will build a 12,000-kiIowatt plant to demonstrate to scientists it can be done. lie says his invention is capable of completely transforming living conditions con-ditions in the tropics, a boon especially espe-cially to islands and seacoasts where eoal nnd falling water are not available avail-able for power purposes. All this sounds like -a fair-fetched scheme but It Isn't safe to laugh at anybody these quick-changing days. Capper's Weekly. |
