<p>A buoyancy power generating apparatus 102 includes a tank 1 containing liquid, a buoyancy mechanism 2 in the tank 1 including a bladder 22 supported on a bladder support 21, and a vertical support 35 outside the tank 1, which supports a weight unit 3. The bladder 22 is filled with gas via valve 42, causing the bladder to rise and lift the weight 3. The gas is then released, allowing the bladder and weight to fall. The weight is connected to a piston 33 which pressurises air in a cylinder 43, the pressurised air being stored in a tank 41 before being supplied to re-inflate the bladder 22. The buoyancy mechanism and weight may be connected by a chain and pinion mechanism 5, and their movement is said to drive a generator (101, figure 1).</p> |
