An apparatus for energy production utilizing buoyancy caused by fluid (150) and gravity is disclosed, the apparatus comprising: a first belt (100) which comprises teeth (102) on a second surface thereof and is arranged to travel in a first closed cycle, the cycle being determined by at least a first upper guide element (104) and a first lower guide element (106), and in which the first belt (100) is arranged to travel so that the teeth (102) of the first belt (100) are in direct fluid contact on a part of the first closed cycle, the teeth (102) being subjected to buoyancy caused by the fluid (150) on this part of the closed cycle, the buoyancy thus determining a direction of rotation for the first belt (100); insulation means arranged to insulate a tooth (102) from the direct fluid contact when the tooth (102) is brought to a point of the closed cycle where the buoyancy caused by the fluid (150) starts to act on the tooth (102), thus reducing the opposing effect of the hydrostatic pressure on the tooth (102); and at least one energy transmission element (118) arranged to transmit energy from the apparatus on the basis of the rotation of at least one belt (100, 120) of the apparatus. |
