Best Answer

Warm sea water, in an open system, is pumped into a vacuum chamber so that it will boil, and the resultant steam will drive the electricity turbines.

How you can make vacuum chamber in earth space?

It's fairly simple. Build an air-tight container, and attach a vacuum pump to suck the air out. It's a fairly common thing to do, actually. For a more elaborate vacuum chamber, build a second fairly large airtight container and connect the two together with a valve between them. Attach a vacuum pump (or several of them) and "evacuate" the air from the large chamber. Then, when you open the valve between them, the air in the smaller chamber will immediately be sucked out and into the larger chamber, creating an "instant" vacuum.
