OTEC Matters
The fist volume of OTEC Matters, released in February 2015 and featuring a dozen
unique papers on OTEC, was a big success and also a statement that OTEC research
is of enough intereest to deserve a dedicated publication. The publication is downloadable
for free from the OTEC Matters web page.
Presentations
Presentation given at the 3rd international symposium on OTEC
The following link is to a video presentation of OTEC Africa and the University
of Borås. The speech was given by OTEC Africa founder Petter Dessne, and it was
aired at the third international symposium on OTEC, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
September 2015.

Miscellaneous material
Schematics
During work on the fist volume of OTEC Matters, it became apparent that there were
no good, free-to-use, vector-based graphics of how OTEC technology works. We have
tried to rectify this with the two drawings found below (and used on the
Technology page).
Click this link to get schematics of
closed-cycle OTEC and open-cycle OTEC as .svg files and also their underlying Visio
files.
Files with the .svg extension are vector graphics, meaning they can be used in any
resolution (for example, in a journal). As stated above, they are free to use, but
please give appropriate credit.
The OTEC Africa logotype
If you want to spread the word about our organization, then please use the logotype,
available here both in a vector graphics format and as a reasonably large .png file.

Africa logotype as an .svg file and its pixel based equivalent.
