Abstract
A device which utilizes the hydrostatic gradient at sea is described. The apparatus is currently configured to drive a deep-sea sediment sampler but could be used for virtually any power requirement. A simplified schematic diagram is presented to illustrate the working principle, and sample calculations of the power available are provided.
