<p>A device potentially composed of a multiplicity of vertically orientated containers of any height which have liquid levels maintained by self-powered base pumps designed to run optimally by neutralizing liquid head pressure intensity. Energy extraction occurs in two phases. Phase 1 is where singular or clustered objects connected to drive shafts are evacuated at the base of a container, yielding energy from the natural phenomenon of buoyancy. External empty objects are caused to track the upward movement of these internal objects. Phase 2 is where these external objects are filled with liquid at the top of the containers, yielding natural potential energy. The magnitude of available energy is proportional to the number of containers. The time during which that energy is availability is proportional to the height of the containers. Operations are phased to overlap giving constant power yield in the form of rotational torque intended to turn permanent magnet (NIB) generator shafts. The device can be installed anywhere, including underground, operates 24/7, requires no external power input, produces no environmental pollutants of any kind and lends itself to enhancements using all the latest technologies. As shown, a potentially buoyant object 6 is connected eg by a chain 4 to an output shaft 10 (which may drive an electrical generator 15 ) and is movable vertically inside a liquid-filled container 1. The object 6 is repeatedly filled with and emptied of liquid to make it repeatedly non-buoyant and buoyant, respectively, so that the object 6 moves up and down, driving the output shaft 10.</p> |
