Claim:
1. A device for deflecting acoustic waves from a potential source comprising: an object positionable in a liquid environment; a direct current electrical power source located in said object; a heating grid positioned about said object in the liquid environment and being capable of producing heat; a cooling grid positioned about said object between said object and the potential source in the liquid environment such that said heating grid is located between said object and said cooling grid, said cooling grid being capable of absorbing heat; and at least one Peltier effect device having an inner surface and an outer surface, said Peltier effect device being joined to said electrical power source and said cooling grid for providing cooling, wherein said heating grid and said cooling grid are capable of creating a temperature gradient in the liquid environment causing acoustic waves to bend away from said object.
