minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month ago why the salinity gradient provides energy? It doesn’t. It’s the thermal energy that is converted to electricity. The salinity gradient provides an entropy dump. The dialysis machine is built in a way that the only possible way for that entropy to increase is by generating some electricity.
