POWER PRODUCTION EXPLOITING PRESSURE GRADIENT EXISTING BETWEEN A BASIN'S SURFACE AND A GIVEN DEPTH

摘要

The present invention is based on the following statements a) to exploit a piston shifting inside a cylinder thanks to the existing pressure gradient between surface and depth of a water basin b) with the slightest energy consumption c) to originate consecutive shift recurrence to give rise to a persistent cycle e) to activate an electric generator f) to perform alternative shifting as quickly as possible g) to perform overall process in the most possible ecological conditions. The device - A closed cylinder is deeply immersed into a water basin - cylinder is parted in two rooms by a piston free to run up and down - on each base one shutter is overlooking a container at atmospheric pressure (Ap) channelled through snorkel and another is overlooking the depth (DBp) - as one base DBp opens on the other base opens Ap; high pressure pushes the piston towards the opposite room discharging contained water into the container at - atmospheric pressure thanks to pressure gradient - as piston shift ends same but opposite process begins giving rise to a cycle. - piston's motion is transferred to a generator thanks a drive belt or a connecting rod - discharged water is removed by lifting till the surface the filled container The power peak overtaking will be possible by a module providing non stop shifting pistons thanks to a combined set of cylinders with shifted timing in their consecutive alternations.
