Temperature Gravity Wheel
The temperature gravity wheel is a heat engine. It is ultra low maintenance, and it requires low temperature difference. The temperature gravity wheel is also called the Minto Wheel.
More explanation about it in wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minto_wheel
Some people build is as a hobby project. It works. Could be used for OTEC.
