A variable-diameter helical spring secures a mesh fish screen over the strainer while reducing suction stress and dislodgment.
Compressed-air bubbles lift colder seawater, while sensors adjust pipe depth to mix layers near the target surface temperature.
This case uses buoyant modular valvular conduits to convert wave motion into upward flow without pumps or moving parts.
Coastal installation pumps deep ocean water to surface layers via submerged conduits, reducing temperatures that drive hurricane formation.
A secondary holding pond buffers wind and solar heating above a primary water storage pond, reducing evaporation losses of valuable oilfield water.
Segmented hollow modules form vertical basin walls, resolving the trade-off between complex waterproofing and deep adjacent areas.
A wave-inertia downwelling pipe transfers thermal energy from surface layers to deep ocean waters using passive gravity flow.
Adjustable legs and buoyant floatation devices elevate protective netting to prevent debris accumulation and sagging.
