There is provided, an embodiment, a machine and a method for utilizing the roll of an imbalanced seesaw-like system to obtain useable power. A buoy 11 filled with air is immersed in water inside a container 13, at each end of rolling seesaw. One buoy 11 displaces water outwards, by the force of its buoyancy, in one container 13, while another buoy 11 displaces water inward, by derivative force acting on it in an outwards direction, in the other container 13. The buoys 11 are connected by a pipe 10, which moves the buoys, back and forth, in the containers 13. During the roll, one container 13 becomes heavier than the other and always on the same side of the rolling path, which keeps the seesaw rolling in one direction.
Apparatus, for using seesaw-like rolling motion to generate power, comprising:
A method for converting ambient energy into useable source of power, including the steps:
A system, for utilizing buoyancy influence as source of power, comprising:

a) Field Of The Invention
The present invention relates to systems and methods for converting ambient energy into useable source of power.
b) The Prior Art
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the following description, taken with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an overview of the present invention, showing one of its horizontal positions. The set of drive-cylinder 22 and pipe 10 can be included to help each buoy 11 to propel itself against its buoyant force, especially, when it is shaped like a propeller. The heavier container 13 is seen on the right—East, with the water in it having been displaced by buoy 11, outwards. Most of the water in the left container 13 is seen at the inner part of container 13. As the right and heavier container 13 falls down-to-earth, the left container 13 rolls up, in a clockwise roll. Stationary-bevel-gear 21 is seen up—North, and beam 17 down South.
FIG. 2 is a side-view of the present invention showing one of its vertical positions. The tube-locker 26 can lock buoy-membranes 12 and container-membranes 14 together and it can be used as conduit between containers 13. The upper buoy 11 is seen in its expanded shape and the lower buoy 11 in its contracted shape, even though the distances of both buoys 11 from the center are the same. The parallel-bevel-gear 23, the eccentric-bevel-gear 24 and the push-pull-arm 25, can be included as another means for moving buoys 11, back and forth, inside containers 13.
Parts in the embodiment and their designated numbers in the drawings are:
The pipe 10; The buoy 11; The buoy-membrane 12; The container 13; The container-membrane 14; The air-vent 15; The ambient-heat-transferors 16; The beam 17; The falling-weights 18; The gearbox 19; The rolling-bevel-gear 20; The stationary-bevel-gear 21; The drive-cylinder 22; The parallel-bevel-gear 23; The eccentric-Bevel-gear 24; The push-pull-arm 25; The tube-locker 26.
The invention may be implemented in a wide range of embodiments.
