Genesis:
"6 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven."
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters = Stanford researchers have developed a battery that takes advantage of the difference in salinity between freshwater and seawater (the waters ) to produce electricity. (see image above )...
when you look at water on earth, in liquid state it comes in various form:
fresh, salty, alkaline, acidic, distilled, quantum, ferroelectric etc....

Firmament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word "firmament" is meant to correspond with the word raqia, or raqiya` ( רקיע), as used in Biblical Hebrew.
Firmamentum was used in the Vulgate, a 4th century Latin translation of the Christian bible. This term was consistent with the previous (circa 200 BC) Septuagint translation of the Old Testament which used the Greek stereoma, meaning solid structure, and with the notion of solidity advanced explicitly by other biblical passages.[3]
The original word raqia is derived from the root raqa ( רקיע), meaning "to beat or spread out", e.g., the process of making a dish by hammering thin a lump of metal.[2][4] Raqa adopted the meaning "to make firm or solid" in Syriac, a major dialect of Aramaic (the vernacular of Jesus) and close cognate of Hebrew.[2] Language experts consider that the most accurate English translation for raqia in biblical Hebrew is "expanse" (i.e., that which was stretched out) and that "firmament" is a mistranslation (due to confusion with Syriac).[2] Among modern translations, NIV and ESV use the word "expanse", while the NRSV uses "dome".
The choice of translation is controversial because it affects how prominent the discord with modern cosmology first appears. It is argued that liberal Christians (and nonbelievers) are biased toward accepting a translation that favours critical and nonliteral interpretation (e.g., "firmament") whilst conservatives and fundamentalists seek a translation by which the scripture may harmonise with scientific knowledge (e.g., "expanse" implying empty sky).
