Claim Text:
1. A conveying device for producing energy, comprising: a circulating conveying mechanism that comprises a load strand and a return strand, said load strand being formed by a plurality of displaceable wall units and being movable along an oblique plane, wherein the displaceable wall units are slidable or rollable downward within a stationary, open channel on the oblique plane at an angle in the load strand, wherein the load strand moves the return strand, and a device for extracting power, said device being moved by the circulating conveying mechanism, and wherein the device for extracting power has a means for outputting energy, wherein the stationary, open channel is formed by first and second stationary side walls and a stationary base, wherein the stationary, open channel is arranged between an upper and lower deflection of the load strand, wherein the displaceable wall units are movable with respect to the stationary, open channel; and wherein the displaceable wall units and the stationary, open channel cooperate to form closed containers, wherein the displaceable wall units in each case comprise a portioning wall that forms a rear wall of a preceding container and a front wall of a subsequent container, and a displaceable upper wall that forms a lid of the closed container on an open side of the stationary, open channel, and wherein in a region of the displaceable upper wall the displaceable wall units are joined together via connecting elements to form the load and return strand, wherein the closed containers in each case form a chamber that is fillable with a liquid, and wherein the chambers in each case are movable along with said displaceable wall units and relative to the stationary, open channel until the chambers are emptied out.
