Apparently there is an experimental saline gradient pond, at Pyramid Salt. I have investegated this, there are 100s around the world used for generating electricity. The heat at the bottom of the pond is used to heat propane, which changes state at 70 degreses. I it is contained in a high perresure vesell, in this high pressure state it drives the blades of a turbine. Which could be of similar constuction to a turbo on an engine. This then drives an electrical anternator (a/c) or generator (d/c). also waste heat can be used to drive a distillation plant. The hot gas is then goes through a refridgeration system and returned to storage. No propane is used.
