Submersible power generators and method of operating thereof

A method of generating power in an undersea environment, said method comprising:

• submerging a subsea power generation assembly in the undersea environment, the subsea power generation assembly including:
• a substantially annular heat exchanger at least partially extending about a heat source;
• and
• a plurality of submersible liquid-vapor generators (LVGs) coupled to the heat exchanger and the heat source, each LVG of the plurality of LVGs extending radially outward from the heat source to the substantially annular heat exchanger, each LVG including:
• an evaporator portion in heat transfer communication with the heat energy source:
• a magnetic field apparatus coupled in flow communication with the evaporator portion;
• a condenser portion coupled in flow communication with the magnetic field apparatus;
• a hybrid working fluid including nanoparticles, wherein the evaporator portion, the magnetic field apparatus, and the condenser portion at least partially define a hybrid working vapor flow path;
• and
• an electrically non-conductive wick structure coupled in flow communication with the evaporator portion and the condenser portion, the wick structure at least partially defining a hybrid working liquid flow path extending between the condenser portion and the evaporator portion;
• forming the hybrid working liquid comprising combining a liquid and the nanoparticles;
• transferring heat energy from the heat source into the hybrid working liquid, thereby evaporating the hybrid working liquid into a hybrid working vapor;
• channeling the hybrid working vapor through a magnetic field, thereby inducing a voltage on an electric current carrying conductor;
• transferring heat energy from the hybrid working vapor, thereby condensing the hybrid working vapor into the hybrid working liquid;
• and
• channeling the hybrid working liquid toward the heat source.
