New Thermal Buoyancy Engine Design Proposed for Underwater Gliders
Researchers from University of Strathclyde, Tianjin University, and the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology have proposed a new thermal buoyancy engine design for underwater gliders used in oceanographic research.These gliders have engines that work by changing the buoyancy of the glider. The engine uses a phase change material to harvest thermal energy as the temperature of seawater drops from surface temperatures of around 20 to 30 °C to around 4 °C below 650 feet.The aim of the researchers' work was to achieve a higher energy yield than existing thermal buoyancy engines and
