Abstract:
An air-driven generator for generating electric power from movement of a working fluid. Upper ends of buoyancy conduits are in fluidic communication with an upper end of a gravitational distribution conduit, and a lower end of the gravitational distribution conduit is in fluidic communication with lower ends of the buoyancy conduits. An air injection system injects air into the buoyancy conduits. A closed fluid loop is formed with working fluid flowing from the gravitational distribution conduit driving a fluid turbine system that is interposed between the lower ends of the gravitational distribution conduit and the buoyancy conduits. Flow of working fluid can be induced by an injection of air into working fluid disposed in the buoyancy conduits to achieve a generation of power by actuation of the fluid turbine system. An upper chamber can remove entrained air. A Rankin Cycle Generator can receive and be actuated by exhausted air.

Claim (Index 1):
An air-driven generator for generating electric power from movement of a working fluid, the air-driven generator comprising:\n an elongate gravitational distribution conduit with an upper end and a lower end; plural elongate buoyancy conduits, each buoyancy conduit with an upper end and a lower end; wherein the upper ends of the buoyancy conduits are in fluidic communication with the upper end of the gravitational distribution conduit and wherein the lower end of the gravitational distribution conduit is in fluidic communication with the lower ends of the plural buoyancy conduits whereby a closed fluid loop is formed between the buoyancy conduits and the gravitational distribution conduit with working fluid flowing from the upper ends of the buoyancy conduits fed into the upper end of the gravitational distribution conduit and working fluid flowing downwardly through the gravitational distribution conduit being fed from the lower end of the distributor conduit into the lower ends of the plural buoyancy conduits; a fluid turbine system fluidically interposed between the lower end of the gravitational distribution conduit and the lower ends of the buoyancy conduits; and an air injection system operative to inject air into each of the buoyancy conduits; whereby an injection of air into working fluid disposed in the buoyancy conduits will tend to induce upward flow of the working fluid in the buoyancy conduits and whereby working fluid fed to the upper end of the gravitational distribution conduit will have a downward flow within the gravitational distribution conduit to actuate the fluid turbine system.
