SUBMERSED HYDRAULIC COMPLEX WITH CONTINUOUS MOTION

Abstract: A buoyant motor with continuous motion characterized by a water reservoir (1) containing a reel (4) which has in its interior a set of four pistons (22, 5) hydraulically connected with four other vertical pistons (7, 7A, 7B, & 7C) by tubes (30). These pistons (7, 7A, 7B, & 7C) are connected by rods to pump pistons (10, 10A) situated on an axis supported by roller bearings (3). Pumps (9) are connected to four tubes (11, 14, 17, 18) which contain valves (12, 12A, 13, 13A) and two other tubes (15, 16) serve to serially connect the two pumps (9). Compartment (24) is connected to pump tubes (17, 18) on one end and a fixed tube (26) on the other end. The fixed tube (26) delivers compressed air from pumps (9) to discharge tube (27) which contains a retention valve (28). The injection of compressed air by discharge tube (27) into a chamber in the reel (4) causes the reel (4) to buoyantly rotate. The rotation of the reel (4) causes pistons (22, 5) to hydraulically actuate the pumps (9) and another charge of compressed air is delivered to discharge tube (27) to continue the rotation of the reel (4).

Description: Descriptive Report of the Patent of Invention "SU f-IERSED HYDRAULIC COMPLEX WITH CONTINUOUS MOTION". The present invention refers to a unit to u- tilize the constant pressure water exerts on air, varying according to the depth of each reservoir (fig. 1 and 2); components are below described and numbered. It is characterizes by tu/o rolling bearings (fig. 1 nS 3) screwed on the external side of a wa_ ter reservoir (fig. 1 n-2 1) on u»hich a central a- xis in tube form is inserted (fig. 1 nS 29); on this axis two pistons are fixed (fig. 1 nS 10 and IDA.) which have their interiors connected in the interior of the central axis by tubes (fig. 1 n2 11, 14, 17, 18) having, at the edges connected to the central axis (fig. 1 nS 29), retention valves (fig. 1 ne 12, 12A, 13 and 13A) ujhose function .(fig. 1 nS 12, 13) is to prevent the air from lea¬ ving at the moment of compression while the functi_ on of the other two (fig. 1 n£ 12A and 13A) is to prevent the air from returning. The piston (fig. 1 nS 10) has two more tubes connected to its top linking its interior with the interior of the piston (fig. 1 and 2 n≤ IDA); thε- se very pistons have theis central top perforated- where other four pistons are connected (fig. 1 and 2 nS 30 and 30A), two being linked to the piston - (fig. 1 nS 10) and two linked to the piston (fig.l and 2 n2 IDA); within the pistons (fig. 1 nδ 30) - there are pumps (fig. 1 nS 7, 7A, 7B, 7C) intsrcon_ nected to each other by a rod (fig. 1 nS 8) on wh£ se middle course are fixed the pumps (fig. 1 nS 9) of the pistons (fig. 1 n 0 - 10 and 10A). The pistons (fig. 1 nδ 30 and 30A) are con¬ nected to the jackets of the other pistons (fig. 1 n2 5 and 22) by tubas ~ (fig. 1 nδ 6 and 20) which connect the interior of the pistons (fig. 1 nS 30 and 30B) to the interior of the pistons (fig. 1 nδ 5 and 30). This whole .set of pistons is covered by a reel (fig. 1 and 2 nδ 4) in whose central opening- there are two lodgings reserved for the air which will be injected as fig. 2 indicates. In one of the external ends of the central a_ xis (fig. 1 nS 29) there is a retention (fig. 1 πΞ 25) fixed in the bearing in which a tube is screw¬ ed (fig. 1 and 2 nΞ 26) to be linked to the com¬ partment (fig. 1 nδ 24) through an elbow; this pi_ pe (fig. 1 and 2 nS 26) is connected to the lower- part of. the water reservoir (fig. 1 and 2 nε l) by another elbow which an exit tube is also screwed - (fig. 1 and 2 nS 27) having attached to its mouth another retention valve (fig. 1 nδ 28) whose func_ tion is to prevent the water from entering through the sarr.e tube, at the moment when the air is being injected or even when it " is..not being injected. The water reservoir 'fig. 1 n-^ l) which shel_ tεrs the whole complex as fig. 1 and 2 indicate is supported by a basis on the ground (fig. 1 nδ 19)-- and is closed at the top by a lid (fig. 1 nδ 23). It starts working when the water within the reservoir 'fig, 1 and 2 nS l puts pressure on the pistons (fig. 1 and 2 πδ 5) making them to press - the air the contain, which in its turn is canali O PI VIFO </* zed by the tubes (fig, 1 nδ 6) up to the pistόns- (fig. 1 π 30) leading their pumps (fig. 1 n 7C; to be pushed upwards. As the pumps (fig. 1 and 2 nδ 9) of the pis_ tons (fig. 1 and 2 πδ 10 and IDA) are intercon¬ nected with the pressured ones (fig. 1 and 2 nδ 7 and 7C) by a rod (fig. 1 nδ 8), they will also m ve vertically upwards, thus . accurriπg the pressu - ring of the air inside the pistons (fig. 1 and 2 10 πδ 10 and IDA); with such pressure the air will au_ to atically close the retention valve (fig. 1 nδ 13) transferring itself from the piston (fig. 1 nδ Id) through the tube (fig. 1 nδ 15) to the tube- (fig. 1 nS 10A) which will also be putting pressu¬ 15 re on the air contained in its volume. At the moment when this air is pressured an¬ other valve will open (fig. 1 n 13A), lodging it¬ self inside the compartment (fig. 1 πδ 24), being canalized through the tube (fig. 1 and 2 n 25) , 20 reaching the tube. (fig. 1 and 2 n 27) and, activa ting the retention valve (fig. 1 n 28), lodges it. self in one of the compartments of the reel (fig.l nδ 4), which will be dislocated by the mass diffe¬ rence to the upper part, where the air will be a- 25 gain fused with the atmosphere after having perfor med the notion in the reel. The reason for the air to leave the tube and get lodgings in the reel is the depth diffεrεnce- fro the piston (fig. 1 nE 5) for it is known that -Z. 1 if they were in the same depth, even with diffe * - * , rent diameters, the pressure intensity would be the same in the area of both and, for having a per feet motioning and a better performance torque, it will be necessary to add more pistons and conss quently more lodgings in the reel.
