        Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
   this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D amends and restates the entire text of
   the Schedule 13D, as previously amended, previously filed by Thermo
   Electron Corporation relating to shares of common stock, par value $.10 per
   share, of Thermo TerraTech Inc.


   Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

        This Amendment relates to the shares (the "Shares") of common stock,
   par value $0.10 per share, of Thermo TerraTech Inc. (the "Issuer").  The
   Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 81 Wyman Street,
   Waltham, Massachusetts 02254-9046.

   Item 2.  Identity and Background.

        This Amendment is being filed by Thermo Electron Corporation ("Thermo
   Electron"), its subsidiary Thermedics Inc. ("Thermedics"), and Thermedics'
   subsidiary Thermo Voltek Corp. ("Voltek" and, together with Thermedics and
   Thermo Electron, the "Reporting Persons").  The Reporting Persons are
   filing this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13d-2 to reflect an increase in the
   Reporting Persons' holdings of the Issuer's Shares since the Reporting
   Persons' last filing on Schedule 13D, in February 1996, of more than one
   percent.  

        The principal business address and principal office address of Thermo
   Electron is 81 Wyman Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02254-9046.  Thermo
   Electron is a Delaware corporation. The principal business address and
   principal office address of Thermedics, a Massachusetts corporation, and
   Voltek, a Delaware corporation, is 470 Wildwood Street, Woburn,
   Massachusetts 01888. 

        Thermo Electron develops, manufactures and markets environmental,
   analytical and process control instruments, cogeneration and
   alternative-energy power plants, low-emission combustion systems, paper and
   waste-recycling equipment, and biomedical products.  Thermo Electron also
   provides a range of services including environmental remediation and
   consulting, laboratory analysis, and metals fabrication and processing, as
   well as research and product development in unconventional imaging,
   adaptive optics, and direct energy conversion.

        Thermedics develops, manufactures, and markets product quality
   assurance systems, precision weighing and inspection equipment,
   electrochemistry and microweighing products, electronic test instruments,
   explosives-detection devices, and moisture analysis systems, as well as
   implantable heart-assist devices and other biomedical products.

        Voltek designs and manufactures high-voltage power conversion systems
   as well as testing systems that simulate electrical disturbances for
   commercial, industrial, medical, defense, and scientific and energy
   research applications.

        Appendix A attached to this Amendment sets forth with respect to each
   executive officer and director of the Reporting Persons his or her (a)
   name; (b) residence or business address; (c) present principal occupation
   or employment and the name, principal business and address of any
   corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted;
   and (d) citizenship.  To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there is
   no person who may be deemed to be a controlling person of the Reporting
   Persons (except that Thermo Electron may be deemed to control Thermedics by
   virtue of its majority ownership and that Thermedics may be deemed to
   control Voltek by virtue of its majority ownership).

        During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor (to the
   knowledge of the Reporting Persons) any executive officer or director of
   the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
   (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).

        During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor (to the
   knowledge of the Reporting Persons) any executive officer or director of
   the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
   or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in a
   judgment, decree or final order (i) enjoining future violations of, or
   prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
   laws or (ii) finding a violation with respect to such laws.

   Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        The Reporting Persons have expended approximately $10,647,000 in
   purchasing Shares of the Issuer since the date of their last filing on
   Schedule 13D.  These funds were paid out of the Reporting Persons' working
   capital.

   Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

        Thermo Electron may make purchases of Shares or other securities of
   the Issuer in such manner and in such amounts as it determines to be
   appropriate in order to maintain at least 50% ownership of the Issuer.  The
   Reporting Persons may also make additional purchases of Shares or other
   securities of the Issuer in such manner and in such amounts as they
   determine to be appropriate for other purposes.  In determining whether to
   do so for other purposes, they will consider various relevant factors,
   including their evaluation of the Issuer's business, prospects and
   financial condition, amounts and prices of available securities of the
   Issuer, the market for the Issuer's securities, other opportunities
   available to the Reporting Persons and general market and economic
   conditions.  Purchases may be made either on the open market or directly
   from the Issuer.

        Except as set forth in this Item 4 and in Item 6, neither the
   Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any of the
   executive officers or directors of the Reporting Persons has any current
   plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions
   specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although
   the Reporting Persons and such other persons do not rule out the
PAGE
<PAGE>





   possibility of effecting or seeking to effect any such actions in the
   future.

   Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        (a)  Thermo Electron beneficially owns 15,141,587 Shares, or
   approximately 85.4% of the outstanding Shares.  Of the 15,141,587 Shares
   beneficially owned by Thermo Electron, 159,729 Shares are issuable to
   Thermo Electron if it elects to convert in full its subordinated
   convertible debentures of the Issuer.  Thermedics beneficially owns 174,250
   Shares, or approximately 1.0% of the outstanding Shares, all of which are
   issuable to Thermedics if it elects to convert in full its subordinated
   convertible debentures of the Issuer.  Voltek beneficially owns 125,847
   Shares, or approximately 0.7% of the outstanding Shares, all of which are
   issuable to Voltek if it elects to convert in full its subordinated
   convertible debentures of the Issuer.

        To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the executive officers and
   directors of the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 336,329
   Shares or approximately 1.9% of the outstanding Shares.  To the knowledge
   of the Reporting Persons, the Shares beneficially owned by all executive
   officers and directors of the Reporting Persons include 217,200 Shares that

   pursuant to options granted by the Reporting Persons pursuant to their
   director and employee stock option plans, to acquire 16,000 Shares.  In
   addition, the following executive officers and directors of the Reporting
   Persons have the right to acquire Shares from the Issuer pursuant to the
   Issuer's director and employee stock option plans:  Dr. George N.
   Hatsopoulos has the right to acquire 40,000 Shares within 60 days; Mr. John
   N. Hatsopoulos has the right to acquire 40,000 Shares within 60 days; Mr.
   Donald E. Noble has the right to acquire 8,200 Shares within 60 days; Mr.
   William A. Rainville has the right to acquire 60,000 Shares within 60 days;
   Mr. Arvin H. Smith has the right to acquire 35,000 Shares within 60 days;

   within 60 days through the exercise of stock purchase warrants acquired in

   outside investors.

        During 1996, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors
   of the Issuer (the "Committee") established a stock holding policy for
   executive officers of the Issuer.  The stock holding policy specifies an
   appropriate level of ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock as a multiple
   of the officer's compensation.  For the chief executive officer, the
   multiple is one times his base salary and reference bonus for the calendar
   year.  For all other officers, the multiple is one times the officer's base
   salary.

        In order to assist officers in complying with the policy, the
   Committee also adopted a stock holding assistance plan under which the
   Issuer is authorized to make interest-free loans to officers to enable them
   to purchase shares of the Common Stock in the open market.  The loans are
   required to be repaid upon the earlier of demand or the fifth anniversary
   of the date of the loan, unless otherwise authorized by the Committee.  

        The Committee also adopted a policy requiring its executive officers
   to hold shares of the Issuer's Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of
   stock options granted by the Issuer.  Under this policy, executive officers
   are required to hold one-half of their net option exercises over a period
   of five years.  The net option exercise is determined by calculating the
   number of shares acquired upon exercise of a stock option, after deducting
   the number of shares that could have been traded to exercise the option and
   the number of shares that could have been surrendered to satisfy tax
   withholding obligations attributable to the exercise of the options.

        During 1996, the Committee established a stock holding policy for the
   Issuer's directors, including certain persons who are also directors or
   executive officers of the Reporting Persons (John N. Hatsopoulos, Donald E.
   Noble and William A. Rainville).  The stock holding policy requires each
   director to hold a minimum of 1,000 shares of Common Stock.  

        In addition, the Committee adopted a policy requiring directors to
   hold shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to one-half of their net
   option exercises over a period of five years.  The net option exercise is
   determined by calculating the number of shares acquired upon exercise of a
   stock option, after deducting the number of shares that could have been
   traded to exercise the option and the number of shares that could have been
   surrendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations attributable to the
   exercise of the option.
