Subsea World News - NOC Scientist Explore Hydrothermal Vents in Caribbean Sea. Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, aboard the Royal Research Ship James Cook explore the deepest hydrothermal vents yet discovered on the planet, in the Cayman Trough beneath the Caribbean Sea. Back in 2010, researchers from NOC and the University of Southampton discovered what were then believed to be the world’s deepest and hottest volcanic vents. The new team, led by the University’s Dr Jon Copley, returned to the area with high definition cameras and sampling equipment to investigate the vents, named the Beebe Hydrothermal Vent Field, more closely.

They have now come across a further set located even deeper at 4,968 metres, or almost three miles beneath the ocean surface. The Mid-Cayman Rise is the deepest known site of volcanic activity, reaching to depths of around 6,000 metres. This has implications for the physics and chemistry of the hydrothermal fluids emitted by the vents, and in turn, the organisms that use chemosynthetic energy sources. Map Data Map. AVE-FAQ - Thermodynamics. Atmospheric Vortex Engine 2. Thermodynamics Heat and work are two forms of energy. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy must be conserved: energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Work can readily be converted to heat. The second law thermodynamics sets a limit on the fraction of a given quantity of heat energy that can be converted to work. The production of work from heat requires heat flow from a hot source to a cold sink.

Carnot efficiency is the maximum efficiency that can be achieved when heat is transferred from the hot source to the cold sink. Carnot devised an ideal cycle where the heat is received and given up at two definite temperatures. The efficiency of typical gasoline engines is around 20%. The heat sink for all of the above engines is either the air at the bottom of the atmosphere or a water body whose temperature is likely to be close to the air temperature. Atmospheric convection is a highly irreversible process. Einstein for Everyone.

SolarWindow - New Energy Technologies Inc. New Energy Technologies is developing the first-of-its kind SolarWindow™ technology, which enables see-through windows to generate electricity by ‘spraying’ their glass surfaces with New Energy’s electricity-generating coatings – the subject of forty two (42) patent filings.

SolarWindow™ generates clean electricity on see-through glass windows, by making use of the energy of natural sunlight and artificial sources such as fluorescent and LED lighting typically installed in offices, schools, and commercial buildings. Under an exclusive world-wide licensing agreement with the University of South Florida, together with a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy—National Renewable Energy Laboratory, covering forty two (42) patent applications, we currently have several product development goals for our SolarWindow™ technology: How do we generate electricity on see-through glass for commercial application in homes, offices, and commercial buildings?
