Patent ID: 8024927

Claim:
An apparatus for generating power, comprising a first tubular member and at least a second tubular member, each said first tubular member and said at least second tubular member being filled with liquid and having a tapered portion forming a conduit at one end; a first float member disposed within said first tubular member, said first float member being adapted for containing gas and liquid; a second float member disposed within said at least second tubular member, said second float member being adapted for containing gas and liquid; means for alternately introducing and discharging said gas and liquid into and from said first float member and said second float member, whereby when said gas is introduced into said first float member, said first float member is caused to ascend within said first tubular member causing the pressure of said liquid advancing ahead of said ascending first float member within said first tubular member to build as said first float member ascends, said advancing liquid reaching maximum or near maximum pressure levels as said advancing liquid is forced through and beyond said conduit, whereby when said liquid is introduced into said second float member, said second float member is caused to descend within said at least second tubular member; a turbine generator having means to rotate for producing power; said constant ascending and descending of said first and second float members in coordinated alternating relation within said first and said at least second tubular members compel said advancing liquid flowing through said conduit of each of said tubular members to act forcibly upon said means to rotate said turbine generator to produce power.
