Abstract
A machine which capitalizes on the descent of water which has been elevated by making use of the random use of waves and or the velocity of the waters. A device which determines the true surface level in spite of random motions of the waters such as waves, surges and etc. by establishing the theory that water seeks its own level. A device which capitalizes on the velocity and weight of water, such as is present in waves and river waters, wherein the current has sufficient velocity to depress a ramp and produce useful energy.
Claims30
A machine which capitalizes on the descent of water, which has been elevated by making use of the random motion of waves and or the velocity of the waters, to produce useful energy, comprising:
- a lower frame;
- a fulcrum;
- an upper frame;
- a ramp or a Power Ramp;
- a receptacle for holding water;
- latch means for maintaining the receptacle in an uppermost position while the receptacle is being filled;
- at least one lever for unlocking the latch means;
- a first float, the first float rising as the receptacle is filled to capacity and, in the process, triggering the latch means to unlock, causing the receptacle to plunge downward;
- an underwater platform;
- a series of tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a series of notched tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a surface finding device;
- a compressed air cylinder;
- a compressed air motor;
- and
- an electric generator.
A machine which capitalizes on the descent of water, which has been elevated by making use of the random motion of waves and or the velocity of the waters, to produce useful energy, comprising:
- a lower frame;
- a fulcrum;
- an upper frame;
- a ramp or a Power Ramp;
- a receptacle fillable with water;
- a first float located in the posterior superior area of the receptacle;
- first latches which maintain the receptacle in its uppermost position while the receptacle is being filled;
- levers for unlocking said first latches, the first float rising when the receptacle has been filled, causing depression of the levers to unlock the first latches, whereupon said receptacle plunges downward;
- an underwater platform;
- a series of tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a series of notched tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a surface finding device;
- a compressed air cylinder;
- a compressed air motor;
- and
- an electric generator.
A machine which capitalizes on the descent of water, which has been elevated by making use of the random motion of waves and or the velocity of the waters, to produce useful energy, comprising:
- a lower frame;
- a fulcrum;
- an upper frame;
- a ramp or a Power Ramp;
- a receptacle fillable with water;
- latches which secure at least one wall of the receptacle;
- at least one rod mounted on the lower frame wherein the rod protrudes upward at a 90 degree angle, the rod, upon coming into contact with the latches, unlocking them, causing the water to be released from the receptacle;
- an underwater platform;
- a series of tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a series of notched tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a surface finding device;
- a compressed air cylinder;
- a compressed air motor;
- and
- an electric generator.
A machine which capitalizes on the descent of water, which has been elevated by making use of the random motion of waves and/or the velocity of the waters, to produce useful energy, comprising:
- a lower frame;
- a fulcrum;
- an upper frame;
- a Power Ramp including a ramp up which the current, when it has sufficient velocity, can climb;
- a hinge joint;
- a spring;
- a compressed air cylinder;
- and
- an auxiliary compressed air tank;
- a receptacle;
- an underwater platform;
- a series of tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a series of notched tracks mounted on said platform leading upward, mounted on the platform at a 90 degree angle;
- a surface finding device;
- a main compressed air tank;
- a compressed air motor;
- and
- an electric generator.
