Mass levitator with energy conversion
The various embodiments disclosed herein provide a generalized system for extracting gravitational energy from the planet and provide for a general, pollution free, mass lifting and energy conversion system in which the laws of fluid flow, and in particular buoyancy and gravity are utilized to lift an arbitrary mass to a higher gravitational potential energy, where upon the increased potential energy can be converted to other forms of energy. Novel and non-obvious features of the fluid interface device, used to insert the buoyant object into the buoyant fluid, insure that the insertion energy is less than the potential energy gained by the object. The net increase in potential energy can be converted to other forms of energy such as electrical power or mechanical energy. It is shown in that energy gain is effectively extracted from the gravitational field of the planet without breaking the laws of conservation of energy.

Transient liquid pressure power generation systems and associated devices and methods
A transient liquid pressure power generation system can include a liquid source and a transient pressure drive device fluidly coupled to the liquid source. The transient pressure drive device can include a drive component, and a valve to cause a high pressure transient wave in the liquid traveling toward the liquid source to operate the drive component. The system can also include a liquid velocity continuation component downstream of the transient pressure drive device and a bypass conduit. Additionally, the system can include a heat source to receive liquid from the transient pressure drive device and heat liquid returning to the liquid source. The liquid velocity continuation component can operate to maintain continuous liquid flow from the liquid source to the heat source from the transient pressure drive device or the bypass conduit to cause immediate maximum liquid flow velocity from the transient pressure drive device upon opening the valve.

Buoyancy-driven power generation system
Apparatus and methods of generating electricity using buoyancy principles, a buoyancy-driven power generation system comprising a closed-loop passage defined by a surrounding structure, the closed-loop passage arranged vertically to extend longitudinally along a closed-loop path, the passage configured to retain a liquid, a plurality of rotor-vessels slidingly arranged within the closed-loop passage and configured to translate along the closed-loop path within the closed-loop passage, each of the plurality of rotor-vessels including a fluid-retention cavity formed in a body of the rotor-vessel and having a density greater than a liquid in which the plurality of rotor-vessels will be submerged for power generation operations.
Hydrostatic motor and method for operating a hydrostatic motor
Disclosed is a motor which uses a hydrostatic force to generate a torque which repeats cyclically owing to a displacement of the center of gravity of a cyclic unit. Float bodies (116) are subjected to a buoyant force in a fluid (134), which buoyant force causes an upward movement (146) of the float bodies and drives these into an upper position. The upward movement drives a drive element. The upward movement furthermore causes air to be forced from upper segments (102a, 102d) of a deformable element (100) into lower segments (102b, 102c), and as a result the center of gravity of the cyclic units which comprise the float bodies (116) and the deformable element (100) is raised above an axis of rotation (106). When the float bodies (116) have passed into the upper position thereof, said elevated center of gravity position permits a rotation of the cyclic units into the initial position thereof.

Impact Point Energy Conversion Mechanism and Method
An apparatus and process for capturing mechanical work from the kinetic energy of a downward moving weighted vessel. The apparatus comprises an elevated downward-moving weighted vessel, a point of impact, a force transfer means to harness the impact, and a post-impact diversion means of the weighted vessel for unobstructed continuation of the process. In use, as the point of impact and force transfer means optimally aligns at the top of their upstroke, the sensor-initiated synchronized release and acceleration of the elevated weighted vessel results in downward movement, generating an exponentially multiplied weight force upon impact due to the accelerated kinetic force it acquires while descending. At the impact point, the kinetic energy force is transmitted from the moving vessel to the energy transfer means. The post-impact weighted moving vessel is then diverted out of the impact area to make way for the unobstructed continuation of the energy transfer cycle.
