BUOYANT POWER SYSTEM METHOD AND APPARATUS
A system in a water body uses buoyant force of gaseous Hydrogen and Oxygen to generate electrical power with one or more turbines that includes power resulting from the buoyant force while transporting the Hydrogen or Oxygen to a higher elevation, without loss of electrons, for conversion to electricity at the higher elevation. Conversion of Hydrogen and Oxygen to water through a Hydrogen Fuel Cell or by burning at the higher elevation may generate additional steam power, hydropower, or purified water. Portable submersible modules may transport the system below or above the water to and from the base of a plumbing portion of the system. The amount of gaseous fuel energy available at the higher elevation is not detrimentally impacted by the generation of electricity by the turbine.

DEVICE FOR GENERATING HYDROELECTRICITY BY PUMPING AND STORING LIQUID
The invention relates to a device that generates clean, renewable energy by using gravity. The device generates energy by pumping water in a water well and has a plurality of methods for use. In the case of a single well, the well acts as a battery that stores energy and produces more energy than it stores. The well can store energy in multiple ways, it being possible to store energy during off-peak hours and pump energy during peak hours, benefitting from the cost difference, or to store the excess free energy produced from renewable energy, such as solar energy, wind energy or other types of renewable energy, and pump the energy when same is required. The second use is based on two or more devices of the invention that generate hydroelectrical energy by pumping and storing between the at least two devices, taking turns to charge and produce energy from one well to another. The well can be used in multiple sizes. Whenever the size of the well increases to accommodate the water and the well level rises, the amount of energy and the energy production period increase.
Thermal Buoyant High Efficient System
A system for the generation of mechanical or electrical energy from heat energy, where increasing a height or pressure in a liquid chamber of the system containing a liquid increases an efficiency of the system up to a hundred percent or increases such efficiency until a critical temperature or pressure of the vapor (gas) is reached at the bottom of liquid chamber or in the boiler of the system depending upon the increment in height, pressure and the type of liquid used in the system. An increase in height of the system for such increased efficiency can be adjusted to a smaller height by maintaining a series of liquid and gas chambers where the vapor flows through the series of chambers or by adding pressure valves. The heat energy from high to low temperature sources can be convened to mechanical and electrical energy.
BUOYANCY WORKING DEVICE
A buoyancy working device includes a water tank with an opening and two arc-shaped guide rails, a rotating shaft, at least five support rods extending perpendicularly and evenly from the rotating shaft, an annular sealing ring connecting with the support rods and slidably connected with the two arc-shaped guide rails to seal the opening, hollow buoyant bodies (4) connecting with the sealing ring, and a gate assembly configured in the water tank to facilitate the hollow buoyant bodies to enter the water tank. The gate assembly includes a cylindrical main channel having an inner gate and an outer gate, a driving device for driving the inner gate and the outer gate, a pressure gas storage tank communicating with the main channel through a first pipe and a second pipe, a first one-way valve connected to the first pipe, and a second one-way valve connected to the second pipe.

ENERGY BALANCED SYSTEM FOR GENERATING ELECTRIC POWER
In accordance with the present invention an apparatus is provided to maintain separate upper and lower water levels in a bi-level tank. The purpose here is to maintain tank configurations for the water portion of an air/water pathway in the tank that will be followed by a buoyant power module during its electricity generating work cycle. During an operation, the module enters the tank and raises the lower water level. The apparatus is then expanded to displace a volume of water in the tank with a volume of air, which raises the upper water level. Subsequently, when the module leaves the tank, the upper water level is lowered. Further, the apparatus is collapsed to drop the lower water level back to its original level in the tank. Thus, the bi-level tank is reconfigured to receive another module, for another duty cycle.
Method and apparatus for a gravity and buoyancy engine
A gravity and buoyancy engine producing energy via a cyclical process of harnessed gravity and buoyancy has a gravity chamber, at least one air lock chamber, at least one electricity producing system, at least one buoyant object, and at least one vertical motion transfer assembly. The gravity chamber provides a zone for the buoyant object to engage the vertical motion transfer assembly as the buoyant object descends toward the air lock chamber. The vertical motion transfer assembly further transfers kinetic energy from the vertical motion of the buoyant object to the electricity generating system in order to provide useable electrical energy. The airlock chamber subsequently reintroduces the buoyant object into the buoyancy chamber to return said buoyant object to an elevated position and recycle through the gravity chamber.

HYDROELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FACILITY USING CHANGES IN WATER COLUMN DENSITY TO INDUCE VERTICAL FLOW
The present invention relates generally to facilities and systems capable of initiating and maintaining vertical flow, upward, within an extended-length water column by inducing changes in density throughout the column. Specifically, the induced (vertical) flow of water within an extended water column that is the present invention is accomplished through fluid aeration, with ambient air, which is directed toward producing ascending water flow rates sufficient to generate hydraulic pressure and hydraulic powered energy, through generated radial force in hydraulic turbines. It is another goal of this invention to utilize air infused water, derived from high-density and low depths, to create said vertical flow and induce turbine actuation through said unaltered, recyclable mediums—air and water—resulting in electrical power generation and desalination.
