SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a power drive activated through several expansion valves which are installed around a drive shaft. The expansion valves consisting of hollow cylinders made of a good heat transmitting material such as stainless steel joined in a ceramic body with push rod and pushrod cylinder at the very end. The inside of the expansion valve is completely filled with expansible liquid, so any temperature difference penetrating the heat collector from the inside or outside of the valve will expand or contract. Inside the valve the liquid which will in return push the pushrod in or out the valve unit. The pushrod is connected to a spindle drive and ratched gear in such a way that the downstroke will push the spindle through a spindle thread and drive a pinion gear. Inside the pinion gear is a ratched gear installed which will disengage the spindle drive on the back stroke. The pinion gear is connected to the spindle drive through a stud sliding bushing and key inside the spindle drive. The pinion gear will drive the big wheel around a side gear which is fastened against the stand. A second side gear called satellite gear which runs free are connected to the driveshaft. The functioning of the satellite gear is to keep the pinion gear against the side gears, the pinion gear is also secured through a sliding collar on the very end. A pressure spring between the pinion gear and the spindle will push the spindle back together with the contraction of the liquid. The ratched gear inside the pinion gear will disconnect the drive from the spindle on the back stroke, so only the down stroke of each expansion valve will drive the big wheel around the side gear. In this fashion a very powerful hydraulic drive is created through a low temperature difference between the inside and outside of the expansion valve. Conventional heat sources are usually in the form of hot or cold water on the bottom of the wheel in which the valve dips. Solar heat can also be used through reflectors on top of the wheel. When nuclear heat elements are installed inside the expansion valve, the entire wheel has to be submerged into water. Nuclear Heat Expansion valve, the same expansion valves as explained above will have nuclear heat elements installed inside the valve in the form of highly concentrated uranium 235 and plutonium, kept in separate parts. The isotopes are divided through a cadmium plunger which can be pulled in or out of the heat element. The movement of the cadmium stick is controlled through the position of the big wheel, meaning, when in upward position the weight of the cadmium plunger will move down and so neutralize the heat elements. In the upside down position the cadmium plunger will move out of the nuclear heat elements through its own weight and so activate a nuclear reaction which is only introduced for a second or so. Liquid like toluene is a very good moderator in connection with graphite. The benefit of this design is that because of the small amount of heat needed to expand the small amount of liquid, a powerful drive from nuclear direct into mechanical power is achieved without any electronic devices or sophisticated cooling systems. This kind of power conversion needs almost no expertise or service. In this fashion the nuclear power wheel can operate completely on its own. To stop the machine, contact screws on the extreme outside have to be screwed inward, which moves the cadmium stick inward and so stops all reactions. The nuclear power wheel is designed to operate on a permanent speed till the nuclear heat elements are used up, which then can be replaced. The machine, because of its slow motion and heavy mass, is ideal for driving a water pump on the bottom of the ocean in order to harvest precious metal dust and sediments. To install this machine on the ocean floor, it has to be assembled on land and then put in motion before submergence in the water. The drive of the big wheel has to be disconnected from the pump drive through a clutch with a timing device. The drive from the machine to the pump cannot be engaged until the machine is installed on the ocean floor and the water hose connected to a float on the surface, FIG. 8 (54). Now the clutches can be released and the machine will drive the pump in a continuous manner. The waterhose, FIG. 8 (45) should be constructed of a flexible material, strong enough to lower the machine into the water and flexible enough to be folded together and upon the drum of a winch during the lowering of the machine to the ocean floor. Air pillows have to be installed around the hose to keep the weight of it up, FIG. 8 (46). Under the pillows, air jets are installed in such a way that they penetrate the hose with a nozzle so that compressed air can be injected in an upward direction, FIG. 9 (45 & 49). Once the machine is in position on the ocean floor, the pump, FIG. 8 (38) will suck up the seawater and mud through a drill and suction stud, FIG. 10 (39-56-58). Hooks under the fundament will give it a better hold in the sand, FIGS. 8 & 10 (44). Wheel covers FIG. 8 (42) will prevent the wheel from getting tangled up with the hose. The massive weight and the steady suction of the pump as well as the digging action of the drill, FIGS. 10 & 11 (56) will lower the machine until solid ground is reached. The machine, with the help of the hose, can be moved to any location. The Advantage of this Design is, that water, sand and mud can be pumped up from the ocean floor into a boat or onto land. It is known that below the depth of 3000 feet there is very little or no oxygen and therefore almost no plant or micro life possible, so all substances and minerals are dissolved into liquid substance which is loaded with nutritious fertilizer, which is seldom found at higher levels except in case of earthquakes or tidal waves. This substance is unknown to man and could answer the question of creation of ocean life. Since the creation of the earth the seas have scraped the crust of the earth with sand, salt and water and so ground the earthcrust into a fine powder. Corrosion resisting minerals like gold and platinum can be traced in almost any salt water, but as long as the sea water is in motion, these precious metals cannot settle to the floor and if they do, corals and plant life will bury them. Only in the depth of the sea where there is no vegetation or coral life possible and where there is no current, has the precious metal dust been able to settle on the floor over millions of years. Only sand and mud covers it. So far no one has been able to collect these treasures. With the help of the nuclear heat expansion machine, these treasures can be reached without polluting the environment. Of course the exact location has to be discovered through detectors which I have already designed under the name "Digger". With this machine the deepest ocean floor can be explored with all its secrets which is far more profitable and a greater accomplishment than the exploration of space. The nuclear power wheel machine can be built in a matter of months. The location of gold layers could also be detected at about the same time. So giving this project one year and success should be on hand. INDEX 1. Heat Collector PA1 2. Expansion Cylinder PA1 3. Spindle Drive Cylinder PA1 4. Pinion Gear Stud PA1 5. Pinion Gear PA1 6.
