ELECTRIC GENERATOR USING GRAVITY AND BUOYANCY

摘要

PURPOSE: An electric generator is provided to cut down the production costs of power and to prevent environmental pollution by generating electricity with gravity and buoyancy. CONSTITUTION: An electric generator consists of: a tank(10) having a fitting portion(12) and a guide plate(14), filled with water; buoyant cases(20) rising up by buoyancy; a hopper(26) carrying the buoyant cases with plural blades(27); a driving gear(30) connected to the hopper through a first belt(36); a driven gear(40); a chain(46) having plural support members(47) with regular distances; a rotatable shaft(50) rotated by connection to the driven gear; a generator(60) connected to the rotatable shaft through a second belt(66), generating electricity by the dropping buoyant cases; a pulley(70) connected with the driven gear through a third belt(76); a working member(80) having a link(82) fixed to the pulley and a piston(84) hinged to the other side of the link; and an actuator(90) having an actuator chamber(92) for sliding the piston, putting each buoyant case into the tank by the working member. Electricity is supplied without limit of place as the generator is run by buoyancy and gravity. Therefore, environmental pollution is prevented.
