The present invention discloses a power generation system to power a cryptocurrency mining operation. The system comprises at least one power producing module having at least one first hollow member and at least one second hollow member. The second hollow member is filled with fluid, for example, water. The system further comprises at least one conductive coil disposed over the second hollow member. The system further comprises at least one movable magnet disposed within the second hollow member and a magnetic flux field of the magnet is in contact with the conductive coil.

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.

A buoyancy energy conversion system and method for converting buoyant forces to rotational energy may comprise a pair of reciprocating buoyancy tanks connected to a common drive cable. The pair of buoyancy tanks may be alternatively filled and emptied of compressed gas to alternately raise and lower the pair of buoyancy tanks within a water column. The ends of the drive cable are connected to opposed sides of a drive assembly such that the rising and lowering of the pair of buoyancy tanks within the water column rotates the drive assembly. The buoyancy energy conversion system may include an upper frame assembly mounted to a floating structure and supporting the drive assembly and a weighted lower frame assembly supporting said drive cable. A source and system of compressed gas and valves may force compressed gas and water into and out of the pair of buoyancy tanks.

A buoyant hydrodynamic pump is disclosed that can float on a surface of a body of water over which waves tend to pass. The pump incorporates an open-bottomed tube with a constriction. The tube partially encloses a substantial volume of water with which the tube's constriction interacts, creating and/or amplifying oscillations therein in response to wave action. Wave-driven oscillations result in periodic upward ejections of portions of the water inside the tube that can be collected in a reservoir that is at least partially positioned above the mean water level of the body of water, or pressurized by compressed air or gas, or both. Water within such a reservoir may return to the body of water via a turbine, thereby generating electrical power (making the device a wave engine), or else the device's pumping action can be used for other purposes such as water circulation, propulsion, or cloud seeding.
