Power generator with multiple turbine units

A method of generating power, comprising the steps of:

• providing an impeller within a water environment having an upper end and a lower end, the impeller having a bore extending between an inlet end and an outlet end thereof;
• providing at least one ball;
• directing the at least one ball to the impeller bore;
• causing the impeller to generate a vortex sufficient to assist any ball ingressing the impeller to communicate through the impeller bore from the inlet end to the outlet end thereof and to egress into the water environment;
• defining a ball recirculation path facilitating the transfer of a ball, experiencing a gain in elevation through the water environment in response to at least one of buoyancy and the influence of the vortex generated by the impeller, to the impeller at the inlet end thereof;
• causing a ball traversing the ball recirculation path to drive a ball-actuatable turbine;
• defining a water recirculation path facilitating the transfer of water from the upper end to the lower end of the water environment;
• and
• causing water traversing the water recirculation path to drive a water-actuatable turbine.

A power generator system, comprising:

• a water environment including an upper end, a lower end, an upper reservoir space, and a lower reservoir space defining a hydro chamber;
• an impeller housed in the hydro chamber and configured to operably generate a vortex, the impeller having a longitudinal bore extending between an inlet end and an outlet end thereof and defining a ball-communicating passageway, the outlet end of the impeller disposed in fluid communication with the water environment at the lower reservoir space thereof;
• a water-conveyance system configured at least in part to define a fluid-communicating pathway between the upper end and the lower end of the water environment;
• a hydraulically-actuated first turbine configured to be operably actuated by water traversing the fluid-communicating pathway;
• at least one ball;
• a ball-conveyance system configured at least in part to define a ball-communicating pathway between the upper end of the water environment and the impeller bore at the inlet end thereof;
• and
• a ball-actuated second turbine configured to be operably actuated by any of the at least one ball traversing the ball-communicating pathway;
• wherein the vortex generated by the impeller is effective to assist any ball encountering the impeller at the inlet end thereof to communicate through the impeller bore from the inlet end to the outlet end thereof;
• wherein at least one ball egressing the impeller at the outlet end thereof experiences an ascension through the water environment from the lower reservoir space to the upper reservoir space in response to at least one of buoyancy and the impelling influence of the vortex generated by the impeller.
