  • Ocean Depth Hydro-Electric Power

    I believe I have come up with a new type of perpetual energy production.

    My idea is using ocean water pressure. The deeper you go into the ocean the higher the water pressure. My idea is quite simple. Put a tube or pipe inside of another pipe in order to keep the inside pipes surface pressure the same as the surface pressure.

    I image you would have to anchor the pipe to the ocean floor because it will want to float.

    The purpose of the inside pipe is, it is to be opened at an optimal depth. When the inside pipe is opened the water will rush up the pipe much like an when oil was struck in early versions of oil drills. If a hydro-turbine is put a the surface of the pipe the gushing water can be used to create electricity.

    Does this make sense?

    How am I wrong? or am I correct?

    Really. I am next to clueless if this is actually a possibility.

      Anyone Else?

      The only Bachelor's degree I have is being a 37 year of one. You think it is a good idea? It does seem logical to me. It seems that if it is a good idea someone will pick it up and do something with it. My resources are limited. I had to walk a mile to the library to see if anyone responded to my post.

      You are the only person that responded. With such a small response I feel my idea must be incorrect.
