Abstract: Disclosed is a movable energy conversion method, comprising a pressure cylinder, a high pressure gas source and a low water level source, wherein the pressure cylinder is composed of an open tube, a movable buoy, two air valves and an actuation component. The open tube can accept a proper amount of water, and is inbuilt with a movable buoy. The movable buoy is a sealed container, in which the upper layer comprises a rotation shaft, an air valve and an actuation component, and the lower layer comprises plural check valves and a water tube. The check valves are connected with the water inside the open tube. The water tube is conducted out from the top of the open tube. The rotation shaft of the movable buoy is combined with one end of a connection rod, and the other end of the connection rod is combined with one rotation shaft on the open tube. The two air valves are connected in series with an air tube, and the air tube is connected with a high pressure gas source, wherein one air valve is a water level switch air valve located on the open tube to control the connection of the air tube while the water level is at a proper height, and the other air valve is located at the upper layer of the movable buoy. The air valve is operated with an actuation component assembly to control the air valve to be opened or closed. At the bottom of the open tube, a water tube is connected with the water of a low water level source. When the open tube contains the proper amount of water, the water level switch air valve is in a connection state, and the water tube of the lower layer of the movable buoy is communicated with the atmosphere, so that the check valve is opened to allow the water inside the open tube to enter the movable buoy. Then, due to the buoyancy reduction, the movable buoy goes down to reach a state of full water, and the two air valves are in the connection state to allow the high pressure gas to enter the movable buoy, so that the pressure closes the check valve and also enforces the water tube of the lower layer to output water with a certain height for continuously sending out the water inside the movable buoy. Meanwhile, the buoyancy of the movable buoy is gradually increased and the movable buoy constantly goes up. When the movable buoy appears to be in a state of no water (going up to the highest point), the air valve will be in a disconnection state. Then, the pressure in the movable buoy becomes the same as that (atmospheric pressure) inside the water tube, and subsequently the check valve is opened again to allow the water in the open tube to enter the movable buoy. At the moment, the movable buoy goes down again to be in the state of full water, and the air valve shows the connection state again, so that the high pressure gas enables the water in the movable buoy to be outputted with a certain height through the water tube of the lower layer. With the continuous cycle to deliver the water with the certain height, such an operation can automatically convert the high pressure gas energy into the water level energy.
