摘要： A structure for growing plants and/or algae and for capturing solar energy including an enclosure having a roof and optionally one or more walls, a solar energy concentrator on at least part of the structure, an energy conversion device adjacent to at least one peripheral edge of the solar energy concentrator, and one or more supports or surfaces configured to enable the plants and/or algae to receive at least some of the solar energy. The solar energy concentrator absorbs or collects at least a first wavelength of light and allows at least a second wavelength of light different from the first wavelength of light to pass through (e.g., to the plants and/or algae). The solar energy concentrator comprises one or more absorbers or fluorophores selected from phycobiliproteins, fucoxanthins and luminescent molecules and materials. The energy conversion device is configured to receive and convert light emitted and/or collected by the solar energy concentrator to electrical or thermal energy.

摘要： Disclosed is an underwater water transfer apparatus deployable within a water body. The apparatus includes a closed receptacle suspended underwater at a first depth, the receptacle adapted to receive ambient water at the first depth therewithin as a result of either the relative movement of the receptacle with respect to the ambient water or vice versa, or both, a tube in fluid communication with the receptacle, and a heat exchanger submerged at a second depth. The heat exchanger extends from an extremity of the tube so as to alter the temperature of the incoming water from the tube, before being released at the second depth, to be closer to that of ambient water at the second depth.
