Otherwise they accomplished nothing that had not been indicated by previous endurance flights. By operating their motor at low speed they...

...vaporization point. In the tank the ice water would freeze and release it? comparative heat; the heat would volatilize the butane; the gaseous butane would run a low-pressure turbine. To condense the butane to liquid, after it had rotated the turbine, he would pass it through brine made from the ocean waters. And so the pumping, power-generating would go on. In theory the process is feasible. In experiment it has proved workable...
