Field: Engines, pumps, turbines (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC F  Y | IPC F

Claim 0:
1. A method of generating power comprising:
accessing a body of water having a temperature proximate a surface greater than a heat transfer fluid;
adding energy from the body of water to the heat transfer fluid proximate to the surface of the body of water;
pressurizing the heat transfer fluid;
transporting the heat transfer fluid to a desired depth within the body of water;
transferring energy from the heat transfer fluid to a working fluid;
passing the working fluid through a turbine, thereby causing the turbine to generate power;
cooling the working fluid with ambient water at the desired depth from the body of water;
expanding the heat transfer fluid through a heat transfer loop turbo expander to generate power; and
transporting the heat transfer fluid back to the surface for reuse.
