"Mike Rowe, of Cardiff University, has built a system
that can generate 100 watts using the temperature
difference between his cold water supply and a bath
full of used hot water."
"All that this system needs to work is a temperature
difference: a hot bath is about 55C, and the cold
water supply about 50 degrees cooler. From that, we
can generate 100 watts in our lab setup - and a colour
TV needs only 80 watts."
"The steel industry, in particular, produces waste
water with a temperature of 90C - too low to power a
steam turbine, which requires 140C - so the water is
often simply thrown away. "
"Water is an ideal material for thermocouple systems
because it can absorb large amounts of energy. "The
great thing is that in essence the energy source - the
hot water - is effectively free. We have devised a
system that can generate 2 watts foronly $5 [£3.12]."
