Energy Island

What is the cost per watt? Cost per kilowatt-hour?

A great idea and nice video!

nikola tesla talked of this 100 yrs ago! look up "increaseing human energy"by nikola tesla! he talks of all of the renewable energy sources and also his wireless energy transfer system which would give wireless power to everyone on the earth! i even did a 20 ft wireless energy transfer which is key to showing how his system works! this system would give thousand miles range of energy for everyone to obtain like a radio but with industrial power being tranfered!

I looked at the website at the end of the video

and this system can't work:
where is the energy needed to boil sea water coming from.
it's written evaporation vacuum chamber, where is the energy needed to make a vacuum coming from? you need enormous amounts of energy to boil water at 25°C
and suddently the steam from the vacuum becomes pressurized steam to make the turbine turn.

make an island, with wind turbine, wave energy collector, water current turbine, solar panels, but forget the OTEC

"where is the energy needed to boil sea water coming from."

Water isn't boiled, it is used to boil a separate refrigerant.

Basically you set up some pipes so you can get cold and warm seawater in the same place, then you use the temperature difference to drive an engine.

There are various engines which could be used, this seems to rely on a refrigerant which boils at the temp of warm seawater.

This is a really great idea! Good job! :)

excellent idea!

I seriously can't wait to see that thing afloat in real life! good job!
