He stuffed the letter in the cooler in the trunk. A wet loaf of bread had green measles. One can of apple juice still bobbed in the melting...
...also cheap, consisting essentially of a sheltered, shallow body of salt water that acts as a solar collector, plus a heat-exchanging system and turbogenerator. The pond's operating principle is simple. When sunlight strikes a fresh-water pond, it heats the water and stirs up convection currents; cooler water sinks to the bottom while warmer water rises to the surface, where its heat quickly escapes into the atmosphere. In a solar pond, these currents are suppressed by dissolving salt near the bottom of the pond. That creates a layer of denser, heavier water that resists rising...
...vapor, which is directed against the blades of a turbine designed to operate on such low-temperature gases. As the turbine spins, it drives an alternator, which produces an electric current. Completing the cycle, the vapor passes into another heat exchanger, or condenser, where it is rechilled (with the cooler water from the top of the pond) and changed back into a liquid. Then the liquid is returned to the evaporator to be reheated and vaporized again for another go-around. Nothing is wasted; the fluid is hermetically sealed for repeated use, and both the heating and cooling water...
