This water powered engine, when submerged deep in a moving body of water, functions as a four cycle engine, with water as it prime mover. It is a linear motor, just as if it were powered by ordinary fossil-based fuels. This invention harnesses the force of moving water and the pressure of water at a depth and creating a prime mover to power electrical generators or to do other work. When water is confined in a solid body and its force is applied to the surface of a piston, that force is transmitted equally, in all directions throughout the fluid or gas in the form of pressure. This characteristic is known as "Pascal's Law". The component parts of this linear motor are a hydraulic cylinder, positive displacement pumps, a Venturi/Eductor vacuum assembly, an electronic piston positioning sensors, solenoid controlled valves and process program software. It is positioned to face an oncoming downstream water force. It may be either singular or in plurality as an array, this being a site adaptation design issue. Its purpose is to transform the limitless energy from moving water. It is an integration of existing technology of various fields. It is applicable to any comparable moving fluid source, particularly water. The coastal Gulf Stream and other ocean currents provide ideal environments as infinite sources of renewable energy.
