PURPOSE:To provide an energy generator without any environmental pollution by sinking in water a pair of floats interconnected with a chain and alternately giving larger buoyancy to one of the floats to generate alternate vertical movement of the float for power generation. CONSTITUTION:Floats 11, 11' filled with water are interconnected through a connecting member 10 such as chain to be arranged left and right across a gear 17. To each float are connected air pipes 9, 9' for supplying compressed air. When the air is sent alternately to the floats 11, 11' through air pipes 9, 9' from a proper compressed air source, the air filled float ascends and the other one descends. This motion is repeated and transmitted to a generator 7 through a gear 17 which is rotated to generate electric power. The compressed air used is provided by a wave energy collector 2 for example and sent to an air feed distributing pipe 8 through an intensifying tank 3, pressurizing tank 4, etc. |
