Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a power generation system comprising: at least one linkage; a respective attachable and detachable west and east weight attached to the west and east ends, respectively, of the at least one linkage; a west bladder and an east bladder attached to the west weight and the east weight, respectively; a west reservoir and an east reservoir, wherein the west reservoir is connected to the east bladder by a transfer pipe, and the east reservoir is also connected to the west bladder by another transfer pipe, and wherein the west reservoir connects to the west bladder by a discharge pipe and a connection device, and the east reservoir also connects to the east bladder by another discharge pipe and connection device; a gear and chain system; and an energy converter.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A power generation system comprising:

a pivotable linkage comprising:
a first end;
a second end distal from the first end;
and a pivot point midway between the first end and the second end;
a first collapsible fluid container coupled to the first end of the pivotable linkage;
a second collapsible fluid container coupled to the second end of the pivotable linkage;
a first fluid reservoir coupled to the second collapsible fluid container by a first transfer tube;
a second fluid reservoir coupled to the first collapsible fluid container by a second transfer tube;
a first reservoir transfer apparatus, configured to transfer fluid from the first reservoir to the first collapsible fluid container;
a second reservoir transfer apparatus, configured to transfer fluid from the second reservoir to the second collapsible fluid container;
a first weight detachably connectable to the first fluid bladder assembly;
a second weight detachably connectable to the second fluid bladder assembly;
and
a hub coupled to the pivotable linkage at the pivot point, wherein the hub is configured to generate electrical energy from pivoting motion of the pivotable linkage.
