Claim 7:
8. A buoyancy power generation method, comprising:
a step of introducing water from an inlet port to a storage tank which is capable of storing water;
a step of discharging the water from the storage tank to an outside by opening an outlet port which is provided at a position lower than the inlet port by an opening and closing mechanism;
a step of closing the outlet port by the opening and closing mechanism;
a step of vertically moving a floating body arranged in the storage tank so as to be vertically movable; and
a step of converting a vertical motion of the floating body into electricity by the power generator, wherein
an area of the outlet port is larger than an area of the inlet port, and
the inlet port is always open during generation of the electricity so that a constant amount of water is always introduced from the inlet port to the storage tank.
