Abstract
A system for generation of power using an apparatus in deep water is disclosed. The system includes a ballast buoy configured to achieve a desired depth in the deep water, a substantially vertical hollow tube attached to the ballast buoy that is submerged under water when the ballast buoy achieves the desired depth in the deep water, and a converter for converting the physical environment created in the substantially vertical hollow tube by placement of the ballast buoy at the desired depth in the deep water.
Claims6
A system for generation of power using an apparatus in deep water, said system comprising:
- a buoy configured to achieve a desired depth in the deep water;
- a substantially vertical hollow tube attached to said buoy that is submerged under water when said buoy achieves the desired depth in the deep water;
- and a generator configured to generate electricity based on the pressure head differences in the physical environment created in between the vertical ends of said substantially vertical hollow tube at said desired depth in the deep water to energy;
- wherein the hollow tube is submerged below the direct influence of surface wave action of the water.
