20120234006 | OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION COUNTER-CURRENT HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM - For OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), rather than transferring large quantities of surface heat from near the ocean surface used to vaporize a working fluid to drive a heat engine (turbine) and generator to the deep ocean to provide a heat sink, this invention provides a method of using small masses of low-boiling-point fluids to absorb heat in a heat pipe near the ocean surface using the latent heat of evaporation and returning the heat of condensation of the vapor in a condensed working fluid pumped back to the ocean surface in a counter-current heat pipe system. The counter-current flow minimizes the amount of heat that is absorbed from the surface to vaporize the working fluid as well as the mount of heat dumped into the deep ocean. | 09-20-2012 |

20100251789 | Global Warming Mitigation Method - The present invention provides a method of sequestering carbon dioxide and water in a desert environment. In a first step heat that would otherwise cause thermal expansion of the ocean and resultant sea level rise is extracted to produce energy. A portion of the energy is used to desalinate seawater. The desalinate water is pumped into a desert environment and vegetation is planted in the irrigated desert portion. The vegetation sequesters carbon dioxide. The seawater extracted for desalination further reduces sea level rise. Irrigation water moderates the day and nighttime temperature fluctuations of hot deserts. Lowering the daytime temperature increases the deserts potential to sequester water. The commercial and arable potential of the desert is augmented by the enrichment of its soil by composted vegetation, its irrigation and the moderation of its diurnal temperature fluctuations. | 10-07-2010 |
20110036919 | GLOBAL WARMING MITIGATION METHOD - The present invention provides a method of limiting sea level rise. In a first step heat that would otherwise cause thermal expansion of the ocean and resultant sea level rise is extracted to produce energy. The energy is used to convert a portion of the liquid ocean water to the gaseous elements hydrogen and oxygen by the process of electrolysis. The ocean level is reduced by the volume of water converted to gas. The hydrogen is captured for use as an energy source and is transported to a desert to be recombined with resident oxygen to produce energy and water for irrigation. | 02-17-2011 |
