An ocean thermal engine utilizing the thermocline and hydrostatic pressure of the ocean to change the buoyancy of a series of rigid containers having good thermal conductivity fitted with means for confining a thermodynamic fluid capable of vaporizing and condensing within the temperature range of the ocean thermocline. The rigid containers are arranged in spaced relation around rotatable supporting means so that the change in buoyancy of the containers causes said means to rotate and to drive a generator if electrical energy is desired.
