Abstract:
The Philippians 419 Engine is a machine that produces kinetic energy by using the phenomenon of buoyancy and gravity. No fuel is consumed and no waste elements are produced thus, an inexpensive form of power generation is produced and the Earth can be left alone to heal. The Christian Bible in Philippians 4:19 states that GOD will meet all of our needs. This engine is one way HE is doing just that.

RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    After searching formal records, I have found no other mechanical system containing the operational process and mechanical devices like the Philippians 419 Engine thus labeling it unique and inclusive. 
       FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to . . . and, more particularly, to . . . the ability of exposing a sequence of floats into a body of liquid by entering into the body of liquid from below the bottom depth of the liquid and allowing them to rise to the surface. The sequence of floats are captured together in a closed loop chain thus allowing continuous rotational movement about an adjoining axle producing kinetic rotational energy. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    Today&#39;s world requires much energy. Everyday she hungrily drinks countless gallons of crude oil and chews up tons of coal and other minerals trying to satisfy her hunger. As the Earth exists, each day her appetite grows. The population of nations continually rise and environments change to support this growth. Housing, manufacturing, recreation, transportation, personal goods, food, water, along with many other items are all in this chow line eager to get their fill of energy. Man is determined to raise his standard of living and creature comforts are often his goal. Man&#39;s need for more and more energy will only increase as his goals for improvement of his standard of living are pursued and accomplished. 
         [0004]    Much of the required energy is produced by refining crude oil. At one point of time, crude oil was in abundance and located close. Now, millions of dollars are spent hourly drilling, pumping and refining crude petroleum. Locations for drilling are often many miles from required users, forcing transportation. Sometimes crude oil is found in locations where environmental concerns prohibit drilling. Those nations where crude oil is abundant often establish selling prices for their oil at levels considered by many as outrageous. To obtain energy, men have lied and cheated. Wars that have killed many people can be attributed to the seeking energy. 
         [0005]    High energy costs drive many people to live without. Summer heat takes its toll because cooling is expensive. Winter cold takes its toll because heating is expensive. The world&#39;s poor are being trodden upon because to give them energy is expensive. 
         [0006]    Supplies of many of these energy resources are dwindling. Studies show that the requirement for energy is growing at a faster rate than the Earth can replenish them. 
         [0007]    An all out attack is underway to supply energy by every nation on Earth. We are drilling and pumping crude oil at levels never imagined 20 years ago. The mining of coal throughout the world is at an all time high frequency. Enormous dams are being constructed throughout the world in order to generate much needed energy. Man is re-visiting wind as a source for power again and even the atom is being wrenched for its “power gold”. Everywhere one turns evidence of “mining” for energy is taking place. We burn and smash, we refine and gather yet the target of accomplishment is moving further and further away. 
         [0008]    All efforts to obtain energy bring along with them costs. Costs to mine, to pump, to smash, to cut, to burn, to refine, to store, to distribute and to even use energy are rising faster than incomes. This differential of moneys is eliminating many people from using what energy we do have. 
         [0009]    It is therefore an object of the invention to . . . provide to the world an alternative energy source. 
         [0010]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world a low cost energy source. 
         [0011]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world an environmental friendly energy source. 
         [0012]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world a non-complicated energy source. 
         [0013]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world a low maintenance energy source. 
         [0014]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world an easily “scaled for the requirement” energy source. 
         [0015]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world a “human safe” energy source. 
         [0016]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world an energy source that is designed for individual use and thus ridding the world of extensive, expensive and wide range outage possibility grids and systems. 
         [0017]    It is another object of the invention to . . . improve the living standards of the human race. 
         [0018]    It is another object of the invention to . . . provide to the world an energy source that can be hidden for beauty. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0019]    The Philippians 419 Engine is a machine that produces kinetic energy by using the phenomenon of buoyancy and gravity. A closed loop of floats enter a body of water from underneath the bottom side of the water chamber and are powered up to the top surface by buoyancy. Since the floats are bound together end to end, and are securely attached to a central necklace cable, every float is closely followed by another causing a continuous process of floats rising to the surface. After the floats exit the body of the water from the top surface, their path is 180 degrees around a tension pulley and proceed downward, outside the water chamber. The floats are then driven down to a bottom cogged driven pulley and applies pressure against the cogs by gravity acting upon the downward floats and the power produced by buoyancy acting upon the upward floats on the opposite side of the necklace float chain. The downward floats circle this bottom pulley 180 degrees and re-enter the water chamber to become “buoyancy floats” once again. This cyclic, continuous rising and falling of floats are powered only by God&#39;s Earth buoyancy and gradational powers. No fuel is consumed and no waste elements are produced thus, an inexpensive form of power generation is manufactured and the Earth can be left alone to heal.

       DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0031]    The Philippians 419 Engine is a machine that takes off where Archimedes left off. The world has long used buoyancy by starting at the top surface of a body of liquid. The Philippians 419 Engine uses buoyancy by reversing the traditional thought path and it starts buoyancy by entering a body of liquid from the bottom surface. The very moment that a physical body, lighter than water in volume, exposes its lower surface, in part or in whole to a liquid, the pressure of the liquid produces an up-ward force upon that body. This is the fuel of the Philippians 419 Engine. 
         [0032]      FIG. 1  is a detail view of a drawing showing the four main sub-assemblies of the Philippians 419 engine. It is this drawing that gives the overall view of the engine. The sub-assembly components of this engine are the frame sub-assembly  1 , the drive train sub-assembly  2  (element # 2 ), the float chain sub-assembly  3  and the float chamber sub-assembly  4 . These are the basic components needed to build a Philippians 419 Engine. Actual size of these sub-assembly&#39;s will be determined by the builder when consideration for expected power output enters the equation. 
         [0033]      FIG. 2  is a front perspective view of a sub-assembly # 1 , frame assembly, and its components. Considerations for sturdiness and mounting styles enter the picture as once again the anticipated power output is thought of. This style shown will serve well for a frame of an engine producing several thousand feet pounds of torque. Actual construction styles, welded or assembly, materials used and joint fabrication will be a product of design thought for every engine produced. Prototype builds have shown that using two frame side  10  details construction serves well and gives required versatility for the safe mounting of the drive train sub-assembly  2 , float chamber sub-assembly  4  and float chain sub-assembly  3 . This type of mounting also gives way to multiple engine mounting configurations in the field. If required, this frame style will give many hours of trouble free service especially wanted when the overall engine may well be stationed under the ground or body of liquid. 
         [0034]      FIG. 3  is a front perspective view of a sub-assembly # 2 , drive train sub-assembly  2  and its components. This sub-assembly is a structure that defines the path that the floats take. A cogged pulley is located at each end of a ridged structure. These pulleys are permitted to freely rotate because each has either a long keyed shaft  28  and pillow block bearing  14  or a keyed shaft  26  and pillow block bearing  14  mounted to them by means of a hex head screw  16  system. As illustrated, the upper post weldment  18  and the lower post weldment  24  relationship is allowed to expand and contract by way of a male turn buckle  22  and jam nut  20  configuration. This expanding and contracting system allows the installer the ability to install the float chain sub-assembly  3 . and properly tension it for operation of the engine. Another function of this sub-assembly is to be driven by the buoyancy powered floats and then transform this up-ward force into usable torque with the radii of the cogged pulleys. The bottom cogged pulley is the driven pulley. The float chain sub-assembly  3  pulls through the bottom cogged pulley and its adjoined shaft causing the long keyed shaft  28  to have torque potential and all components attached to it which includes the tool drive pulley and the flywheel  32  all held in place by a male key and a set screw  37 . 
         [0035]      FIG. 4  is a front perspective view of a sub-assembly # 3 , float chain sub-assembly  3  and its components. At the heart of the engine is the float  38 . This float  38 , by volume should be lighter than the liquid that it will be exposed to. When this is accomplished the float  38  will float  38 . When a number of the floats are coupled to a flexible, central, cord member like the floats are attached to the drive necklace  36  by means of a necklace clamp  34  the power of the floating floats may be added together and the sum of that equation times the radius of the driven cogged pulley will result in kinetic torque power. The torque will also be applied to the long keyed shaft  28 , the flywheel  32  and the tool drive pulley. The float chain sub-assembly  3  needs to be coupled end to end and that may be accomplished by means of a necklace ends clamp  35  and set screws. It should be noted now that this final looping and attaching of the necklace ends clamp  35  may only be finished when the drive necklace  36  along with its attached floats and clamps are properly threaded through the float chamber sub-assembly  4  and both un-tensioned cogged pulleys. 
         [0036]      FIG. 5  is a front perspective view of a sub-assembly # 4 , float chamber sub-assembly  4  and its components. The heart of this sub-assembly is the liquid chamber  42 . This liquid chamber  42  is semi-liquid tight only in actual use. To understand this let me describe the movement path of a single float  38 . Lets start at the bottom of the entrance tube  56 . This entrance tube  56  is tapered to easily accept the float  38  starting its upward path. The float  38  passes through the entrance tube  56 , through the exhaust sealing gasket  54 , upward through the through-hole of the bottom plate of the liquid chamber  42 , upward through another exhaust sealing gasket  54  and proceeds to come in contact with a gland shaft seal  50  (one of two). It is this gland shaft seal  50  that, when a float  38  is positioned within, stops liquid from escaping from the liquid chamber  42 , disrupting a downward force of escaping liquid acting upon all exposed floats, and allows buoyancy to influence the submerged floats. The float  38  then proceeds upward through the seal mount  52  and comes contact with another gland shaft seal  50 . This second seal is positioned with the seal mount  52  in a way that permits the condition that there is always at least one float  38  in contact with a gland shaft seal  50  at all times of operation and this permits a continuous physical force of buoyancy to be applied to all submerged floats. Shortly after exiting the second gland shaft seal  50  the float  38  goes the a hole that is in the flow plate  44 . The flow plate  44  serves as disrupter of possible downward liquid flow exposed directly to the “just entering” floats. The float  38  proceeds upward through the liquid and finally rises out of the liquid from the top surface and is piloted around the top cogged pulley for a path of 180° and then is drawn downward by not only the energy of being coupled to the drive necklace  36  but also by gravity. Gravity plays a part in the equation of “power calculation produced” because these downward floats are clamped to the drive necklace  36  and they weigh more than their counterpart on the opposite side of the float  38  necklace rising upward. The float  38  chain necklace being coupled end to end assures that this sequence of float  38  positions will repeat in a continuous mode of operation. This float  38  chamber is held in place and securely assembled to the drive train sub-assembly  2  by means of the top mount  40  and lower mount  46 . The small amount of exhaust liquid is directed away from the working unit by means of the exhaust ramp  48 . 
         [0037]      FIG. 6  is a front perspective view of a drawing showing power calculation examples. Along with a few examples of possible power extracted by the engine, this drawing also shows general rotating directions and required liquid level. General conditions for optimum running and maximum energy out are, expose as much floatable volume as possible in as much liquid height as possible. The liquid may be of many configurations. Design consideration should be given so that the side walls of the liquid chamber  42  are of ample distance away from the floats so that any downward exhaust flow could be directed away from the floats by the flow plate  44 . Again a simplistic goal would be to have use a liquid that weighs the most per cubic inch of volume yet has a viscosity that would allow anticipated float  38  rising speed. It should be noted that water works well but special formulations of liquid could result in more power. 
         [0038]      FIG. 7  is a front perspective view of a drawing showing possible usages and installation examples—multiple unit configuration. When the end user has decided how much energy they need to be generated, consideration for multiple units, linked by common or coupled bottom driven shafts should be evaluated. 
         [0039]      FIG. 8  is a front perspective view of a drawing showing possible usages and installation examples above ground. This drawing displays a very basic installation of the Philippians 419 Engine. 
         [0040]      FIG. 9  is a front perspective view of a drawing showing possible usages and installation examples under liquid or underground. This drawing shows a twin unit installation that may be installed inside of an engine room  58  underground or below the surface of a body of liquid. This would meet several of the goals of this engine. The environment would be clean, the engines would be safe from weather and or vandals and the end user would be self reliant for electricity, pumped water and “just energy” for what ever they wish. 
         [0041]    Since other modifications and changes varied to fit particular operating requirements and environments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the invention is not considered limited to the example chosen for purposes of disclosure, and covers all changes and modifications which do not constitute departures from the true spirit and scope of this invention. 
         [0042]    Having thus described the invention, what is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is presented in the subsequently appended claims.
