Abstract:
1. A power generator, comprising: a shaft having a helical thread; a first vertical support member arranged substantially parallel to the shaft; a first generator slidably coupled to the first vertical support member; a clutch assembly rotatably coupled to the shaft so as to engage with the helical thread for movement along the shaft in a first direction, and disengage from the helical thread for movement along the shaft in a second direction; a buoyant rotor assembly coupled to the clutch assembly; and wherein the first generator is arranged to create electric energy from interaction of a conductor with a number of magnetic elements on the buoyant rotor assembly, in a manner to produce electricity, as the clutch assembly rotates about the shaft and along the helical thread when falling in the first direction due to a gravitational force.
