1. An air-tight and water-tight plastic pipeline (2 in FIG. 1) that consists, in one embodiment, of a pipeline that is about 10 meters in diameter, and that runs from the pipeline's upper level water intake (1 in FIG. 1) at the upper part of an ocean or lake or reservoir, e.g., 10 meters below the water surface (deep enough so that no ships or boats will collide with the pipeline) (Point A in FIG. 1) to a bend point that is lower in the same ocean or lake or reservoir (e.g., 60 meters below the upper water intake opening) (Point B in FIG. 1), and then through a connected horizontal pipeline to an output point (Point C in FIG. 1) which is inside an airtight metal or plastic bubble capable of permanently holding a bubble of air that the water will encounter when it leaves the water output (5) (at Point C in FIG. 1). Such pipeline can be primed by insertion of the pipeline in the ocean or lake and then powering the generator turbines in the bottom part of the pipeline so that the paddles of the turbine can push the water in the pipeline out the water output (5) (at Point C in FIG. 1). At point C, the water in the pipeline will be expelled from the pipeline and then the higher ocean or lake water will rush into the upper opening of the pipeline (1) (at Point A in FIG. 1) and drop by the force of gravity, and flow through the pipeline and out of the output opening (5) (at Point C in FIG. 1) so that more water is sucked into the upper intake to create the constant flow of water through the pipeline by the force of gravity. Once the powered generator turbine has started, or primed, the flow of water out of the lower level output, the upper water will continue to fall into the upper intake and, by the force of gravity, will waterfall to the bottom point (B) and flow past the generator (4) turbines to create electricity, and then proceed out the lower water output (5) (Point C in FIG. 1). |
