Abstract
Apparatus for providing motive power comprises first and second communicating columns (10, 14) of liquid, the liquid in the second column being substantially the same as in the first column but containing a finely divided material to increase its specific gravity relative to the liquid in the first column, means (28) for maintaining the finely divided material in suspension in the second column, whereby liquid height in the respective columns is different, so that liquid from the first column overflows into the second column, means for converting energy from resultant movement of liquid into motive power and means (26) for returning the liquid to the first column.

Apparatus for providing motive power comprising first and second communicating columns of liquid, the liquid in the second column being substantially the same as in the first column but containing a finely divided material to increase its specific gravity relative to the liquid in the first column, means for maintaining the finely divided material in suspension in the second column, whereby liquid height in the respective columns is different, so that liquid from the first column overflows into the second column, means for converting energy from resultant movement of liquid into motive power and means for returning the liquid to the first column.
A method of providing motive power comprising the steps of providing in a first column a liquid and in a second column the same liquid but containing a finely divided material to increase its specific gravity relative to the liquid in the first column, maintaining the finely divided material in suspension in the second column, two columns communicating whereby liquid height in the respective columns is different, so that liquid from the first column overflows into the second column, converting energy from resultant movement of liquid into motive power and returning the liquid to the first column.
