are the differences and similarities between open source and proprietary? Open source software is free to use. It provides original source codes used to create it, so more advanced users are able to make necessary modifications to make it work better for them.

Trojan horses appear at first like useful software’s, but are in reality tricky. One main difference between the Trojan horse and the two

conversion systems: closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid. Closed-cycle systems use the ocean's warm surface water to vaporize a working fluid, which has a low-boiling point, such as ammonia. The vapor expands and turns a turbine. The turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. Open-cycle systems actually boil the seawater by operating at low pressures. This produces steam that passes through a turbine/generator. And hybrid systems combine both closed-cycle and open-cycle systems. Ocean
