ENERGY EFFICIENT MOORED OCEAN PROFILER

摘要

An energy efficient moored ocean profiler wherein an instrument carryin g vertically traversing buoyant member of low buoyancy is interconnected with a second buoyant member of high buoyancy to travel in the opposite direction at lesse r distance, such that the potential energy of one buoyant member is increased as the potential energy of the other is decreased, thereby conserving energy as the instrument carrying buoyant member is raised and lowered.
