Osmotic power — a new, renewable energy source
Desalination and Water Treatment, 2010 The mixing of freshwater and seawater where rivers flows into the salty ocean releases large amounts of energy. This energy can be harvested and made into electricity using pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). This is the concept of osmotic power, a new and yet unexploited source of renewable energy.

Comparison between pressure retarded osmosis model using batch and continuous water supply sources [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a novel renewable energy technology that generates electricity from two water sources. Due to the osmotic pressure difference, freshwater permeates across a membrane to the other side, where the high-pressure seawater ...

A water-powered osmotic microactuator [PDF]
Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2002 This paper presents a microactuator that utilizes osmosis to produce mechanical actuation without consuming any electrical energy. The microactuator is made of cellulose acetate with cylindrical chamber of 500 to 2000 /spl mu/m in diameter and of 200 to 1000 /spl mu/m in depth.
