A ocean buoyancy power generating system includes a water inlet pipe with a water inlet, a water drawing pipe, a guiding pipe, multiple water drawing devices, a gas charging unit, an ocean power generating and collecting apparatus or ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) power generating and collecting apparatus, a first moving apparatus, and a second moving apparatus. Through cyclically discharging the gas to one of the water drawing devices in the water inlet pipe by the gas charging unit, buoyancy is generated on the water drawing device to continuously drive the seawater in the water drawing pipe to move upwards for electric power generation. |

1. A ocean buoyancy power generating system, comprising:
a water inlet pipe, located at ocean that is at least 500 meters below a sea level and including a water inlet; a water drawing pipe, connected to the water inlet pipe, vertically extended out to above the sea level; a guiding pipe, disposed in parallel with and next to the water inlet pipe and the water drawing pipe; a plurality of water drawing devices, cyclically moving within the water inlet pipe, the water drawing pipe and the guiding pipe; a gas charging unit, communicating with the water inlet pipe and continuously discharging a gas to one of the plurality of water drawing devices in the water inlet pipe to generate buoyancy on the water drawing device to drive seawater in the water drawing pipe to move upwards; an ocean power generating and collecting apparatus, for converting kinetic energy of the seawater moving upwards in the water drawing pipe to electric power; a first moving apparatus, for moving the plurality of water drawing devices from a top of the water drawing pipe to a top of the guiding pipe; and a second moving apparatus, for moving the plurality of water drawing devices from a bottom of the guiding pipe to within the water inlet pipe; wherein the gas charging unit discharges the gas to one of the water drawing devices inside the water inlet pipe to generate buoyancy on the water drawing device to drive the seawater in the water drawing pipe to move upwards into the water drawing pipe, the first moving apparatus moving the plurality of water drawing devices from the top of the water drawing pipe to the top of the guiding pipe, then the plurality of water drawing devices at the guiding pipe sinking to the bottom of the guiding pipe and being moved to within the water inlet pipe by the second moving apparatus, so that the gas charging unit again discharges the gas to the plurality of water drawing devices to continuously drive the seawater in the water drawing pipe to move upwards for generating electric power. |
