I have to say that I'm with Pat on this. I recognize that there is an abundance of potential energy in the various temperature differences around a boat, but harnessing that potential energy and making it useful is the hard part. Ron, have you built any small proof-of-concept models to see what can be done with the energy? I don't believe that there is significant energy available from these areas, I'm pretty sure that others have been down this path before. But every little bit helps, and if something can be built that takes no effort or maintenance, it could add to an already efficient vessel.

Like I said earlier, I am not an expert at these things. Please post back sometime if you build it and let us know how it works.
