Claim 0:
1. An energy-generating apparatus comprising:
(A) a container configured to be fully submerged in a liquid with different volumes of a gas such that, (i) when the container is in a first state, the container ascends in the liquid and, (ii) when the container is in a second state, the container descends in the liquid;
(B) a drum spool with a cable hose that is secured to the drum spool at a first end and to the container at a second end, the cable hose being in fluid communication with the container, and configured to unwind from the drum spool as the container ascends in the liquid, such that a length of the cable hose wrapped around the drum spool is configured to decrease during the ascent of the container;
(C) a fluid transfer mechanism coupled to the container and configured to transfer the gas into or out of the container to change the container between the first and second states;
(D) a power generator coupled to the drum spool and configured to transfer or convert energy from a rotation of the drum spool; and
(E) an electronic controller coupled to the fluid transfer mechanism and the drum spool, the electronic controller configured to:
(i) transfer the gas into the container, via the cable hose, to bring the container to the first state in which the container ascends in the liquid and unwinds the cable hose from the drum spool to generate power via the power generator; and
(ii) transfer the gas out of the container, via the cable hose, to bring the container to the second state in which the container descends in the liquid.
