Abstract
A buoyancy powered electrical generator. A source of compressed gas is provided. The gas, which may be air, is compressed using a conventional compressor. In one embodiment, the compressor is powered by a windmill, turbine, or other conventional means. The compressed gas may be stored in a tank for an indefinite period. If necessary, the tank may be transported to the generator via truck, train or other conventional transportation means. During generation, compressed gas is released into a series of hollow, flooded drums mounted on a wheel in a liquid filled chamber. Introducing gas into the drums closes a valve in the drums and evacuates liquid from the drums, causing the drums to become buoyant. The buoyant drums exert a buoyant force on the wheel, causing it to rotate. The wheel is connected to a rotor in a magnetic generator. Rotating the wheel turns the rotor, thereby generating electricity.
