Proposal relative to an aeraulic thermosiphon able to generate electricity using the difference of temperatures between the ambient air and the surface sea water

Description

In this article, it is envisaged different possibilities to generate electric energy from the difference of temperatures between the ambient atmospheric air and the surface sea water, which is a renewable source of energy. Finally, it is proposed a machine based on an aeraulic thermosiphon, installed between the seashore and a high relief (300 m at least). This electric generation would be done without insoluble constraints on the refrigerant. Unfortunately, the cost of such machine is not competitive compared to a wind turbine, which prevents any commercial use. So, at least, it can be hoped that this paper will give news ideas to the readers, for a possible competitive machine.
