Abstract:
A rotary pump that utilizes falling water to produce useful energy. The pump is a conduit in a spiral form mounted on an axis that is set at an angle whereby when rotated, water flows into the inlet end of the conduit and is transported to an elevation. The conduit is powered by an impeller wheel that rotates by falling water.

         [0003]    This invention relates to forces of nature being transformed by rotary motion into energy that can be readily available for consumption. Much of the energy consumed by entities require hydrocarbon fossil fuel sources. Utilizing these fuels emit elements into the environment that have created an alert that requires the reduction of these fuel emissions. Accordingly, the nonrenewable nature of these fuels has guided industry and public opinion that the field of technology is to seek alternative sources. The search of prior art has revealed this activity in the field of technology. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0004]    It is the object of this invention to provide useful energy by utilizing multiple forces of nature simultaneously or separately. This invention accumulates each of these forces as they are available by transporting a portion of the water they influence into a central containment area. A series of mechanical parts jointly fitted together in synchronized motion is the method by which it functions.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0009]    There are no structural supports illustrated in this detailed description. In  FIG. 1  the impeller wheel  1  is on the horizontal shaft  2  supported by the two bearings  3 . The spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  center shaft  5  that extends toward both ends, further at the upper end, of the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  and set at an angle by the upper bearing  6  is attached to the impeller wheel horizontal shaft  2  by the gimbal  7  that is housed inside the lower end of the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4 . The spiral conduit  8  begins at the edge of the lower end  9  of the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  and spirals around the outside one revolution in equal form to the edge of the upper end  10  of the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4 . The upper edge of the U shape containment area channel  11  is located immediately, without contact, beneath the upper end of the spiral conduit  8 . The lower edge of the U shape reservoir channel  11  is sufficiently above the elevation of the center of the impeller wheel horizontal shaft  2 . The anti-reverse brake pivot system  12  is attached to the upper end of the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  center shaft  5 . The dispersion tray  13  is specifically located immediately, without contact, at the outer edge of the impeller wheel  1  between the impeller wheel  1  sides above the horizontal shaft  2  and below the top of the impeller wheel  1  and is attached to the upper end of the inlet conduit  14 . 
         [0010]    In  FIG. 2  each partition  15 , equally spaced with the other is set perpendicular between the sides of the impeller wheel  1  beginning less than flush, not illustrated here, with the circumference edge of the impeller wheel  1  sides and extend to the impeller wheel horizontal shaft  2  in  FIG. 1 . In  FIG. 4  the impeller wheel  1 , dispersion tray  13 , inlet conduit  14 , flexible conduit  17  and the buoyancy devices  16  are specifically located in a buoyancy system. 
         [0011]    In  FIG. 4 , as the water level  18  rises  19  caused by the tide, precipitation, waves, surge and other means being controlled by an embankment  20 , it is allowed to flow into the inlet conduit  14  through the embankment  20  and into a reservoir  21 . The arrows in  FIG. 4  illustrate the direction of the flow of water during the operation of the waterfall apparatus. The gravity influenced water flows into the inlet conduit  14  and out of the dispersion tray  13  causing the impeller wheel  1  to rotate by the weight of the water that collects between each corresponding partition  15  thus rotating the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  and the spiral conduit  8  in  FIG. 1 . The lower end of the spiral conduit  8  captures a measured amount of water from the reservoir  21  in  FIG. 4 . The captured water is elevated to the upper end  10  of the spiral conduit  8  in  FIG. 1  by the rotation and allows it to flow into the U shape containment area channel  11 . 
         [0012]    As the impeller wheel  1  in  FIG. 4  rotates, the water flows from between each corresponding partition  15  into the reservoir  21  causing the water level in the reservoir  21  to rise  22 . The flexible conduit  17  allows the buoyancy devices  16  to float on the surface of the reservoir  21  in a stable form, keeping the impeller wheel horizontal shaft  2  in  FIG. 1  and the dispersion tray  13  in  FIG. 4  at a specified distance above the reservoir  21  water surface as the level rises. The spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  center shaft  5  in  FIG. 1  pivots at the anti-reverse brake pivot system  12  enabling the buoyancy devices  16  in  FIG. 4  to float on the surface of the reservoir  21  in a stable form as the water level rises. The brake in the anti-reverse brake pivot system  12  in  FIG. 1  functions as a ratchet allowing the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4  center shaft  5  to rotate in one direction, preventing the gravitational force of the water in the spiral conduit  8  to rotate it in the opposite direction. 
         [0013]    In  FIG. 2  the design and number of partitions  15  are determined by the required function. The less than flush, not illustrated here, short distance from the outer edge of the partition  15  in  FIG. 4  and the circumference edge of the impeller wheel  1  sides in  FIG. 1  is sufficient to prevent the water from overtopping the sides as it flows from the dispersion tray  13 , then horizontally in both directions along the impeller wheel horizontal shaft  2  and impacts the impeller wheel  1  sides. The dispersion tray  13  is located as to rotate the spiral conduit  8  in the direction that elevates the captured water. The elevation of the U shape containment area channel  11  is increased by the diameter, length or angle of the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4 . The length determines multiple revolutions of the spiral conduit  8  around the outside. Increasing the impeller wheel  1  accordingly, provides the necessary force to implement the correct balance at the gimbal  7  to rotate the spiral elongated screw pump cylinder  4 . 
         [0014]    The impeller wheel horizontal shaft  2  and dispersion tray  13  in  FIG. 1  is set at a minimum distance above the reservoir  21  water surface in  FIG. 4  to minimize the head of the two water levels. The water is released, when necessary, from the reservoir  21  through a conduit equipped with a one-way flow system, not illustrated. 
         [0015]    In  FIG. 1  the water in the containment area, which is not illustrated here, that is derived from the U shape containment area channel  11  is released in a timely manner to produce useful energy.
