    Abstract: This invention mitigates global warming substantially by combining elements from two separate fields in a novel way. It is based on the discovery that the volumetric rate of cold water upwelling that will result in a 1.08 C reduction in the Earth's Surface Air Temperature (SAT) is similar to the volumetric rate of cold water upwelling that would be produced by roughly 20,000 OTEC plant-ships of 400 MW size each. These can generate 7 terawatts of electric power converted to an ammonia energy carrier and shipped to on-land locations, where it can be "cracked" and burned as C02-free fuel for power plants. The large reduction in SAT enables proposal of an affordable financial strategy that would pay most of the costs of the system out of the revenue from C02 emission allowances granted by governing agencies for alternative energy systems that also cause a direct reduction in SAT.

    Abstract translation: 本发明通过以新颖的方式组合来自两个分开的领域的元素来缓解全球变暖。 这是基于这样一个发现,即将导致地球表面空气温度(SAT)下降1.08℃的冷水上升流的体积速率与大约20,000个OTEC工厂生产的冷水上升容积的速率相似 每个400兆瓦的大小。 这些可以产生转换为氨能量载体的7太瓦电力,并运送到陆上位置,在那里它们可以被“破裂”并作为发电厂的无CO2燃料燃烧。 SAT的大幅度减少使得能够提供可承受的财务战略,从而支付系统成本的大部分成本来自管理机构授予替代能源系统的二氧化碳排放配额,这也导致SAT的直接减少。

    Abstract: The invention relates to energy conversion and generation systems, and more specifically, to a system and method of generating and converting energy by way of a pressure differential in a working fluid. A Pressure Power System is described comprising a cold sub-system, a warm sub-system, a work extraction system, and a hydraulic pump arranged in a closed loop. The cold sub-system and the warm sub-system are respectively maintained at lower and higher temperatures relative to one another, so that a Working Fluid circulated through the closed loop by the pump, will have different equilibrium vapor pressures in the two sub-systems. The different respective state functions of the Working Fluid results in two different levels of elastic potential energy, and subsequently, a pressure differential between the two sub-systems. A work extraction system is positioned between the two sub-systems to convert the elastic potential energy/pressure differential into useful kinetic energy.

    Abstract: A process is described that employs what can be termed a friction surface stirring (FSS) process on the surface of a metal object. The FSS process occurs on some or the entire surface of the metal object, at a location(s) separate from a friction stir welded joint. The FSS process on the surface produces a corrosion resistant mechanical conversion "coating" on the object. The "coating" is formed by the thickness of the material of the object that has been FSS processed. In one exemplary application, the process can be applied to a metal strip that is later formed into a tube whereby the "coated" surface resides on the inside of the tube making it highly resistant to corrosive flow such as seawater.
