Description
Figure 28. Model of a machine for generating electricity based on differencesof temperature between the sea surface and great depth. This thermal machinewas devised by the physicist Georges Claude and the engineer Paul Boucherot in1926. It was an application of Carnot's theorem and was a forerunner of themodern ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) project. (Image credit: Oceanographic Museum of Monaco | Georges Claude?)
