Colonize The Ocean - Shorts : OTEC Power Underwater
Welcome back to Colonize The Ocean, the short podcast exploring the technologies that will make manned underwater living a reality. I'm your host from Atlantis Sea Colony.
Today, we're diving into scaled Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, or OTEC—a renewable powerhouse that taps the vast temperature difference between warm tropical surface waters and the frigid depths below 800 meters or more. In closed-cycle systems, warm seawater evaporates a working fluid like ammonia to drive turbines for steady electricity, while cold deep water condenses it to loop endlessly. Scaled versions mean pushing…
