TITLE OF THE INVENTION
1 Energy Generation Device
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
2 The present invention relates to the field of energy generation, more particularly, relates to a device
3 that generates energy through the harnessing of buoyancy and gravity forces existing on moving
4 items.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Prolonged dependence on fossil fuels and other consumable resources to meet the energy
6 requirements of modem world and to provide the high living standards required by modem society,
7 it is readily apparent that current fuel and energy resources will soon be exhausted. Consequently,
8 with conventional energy sources relying on coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels being burned
9 and combusted, the by-product of such fossil fuels significantly contributes to polluted air and
greenhouse emissions. While the true extent of carbon emissions is currently under discussion,
Page 1 of 31
.1 scientific research suggests the possibility that elevated levels of emissions can affect the earth's
.2 climate.
.3 A wide range of alternative sources of energy are being recommended to minimize the dependence
.4 of traditional fossil fuels on society for their energy requirements. Such alternative sources of
.5 energy were aimed at utilizing wind, solar, wave, and tidal energy, and also a diverse range of
.6 other renewable energy resources. A wide range of buoyancy based energy systems also have been
.7 developed using the natural buoyancy of floating objects in water as well as the effect of gravity
.8 on such floating objects, in which the movement of floating objects under buoyancy and gravity
.9 can be transformed to generate energy. Nevertheless, most of those units have not been successful
P0 on a commercial scale, however, as they typically have poor water insulation properties in the
P1 system, reducing the ability for floats to move from an environment that is filled with water to an
.2 air-fill environment, thus providing an enclosed work atmosphere.
P3 Hence, the present invention proposes to resolve the existent technical difficulties to eliminate the
4 shortcomings of prior art. The present invention provides an energy generation device that offers
P5 a working environment in which a plurality of members can be monitored to move in a certain
P6 position to generate energy under the forces of buoyancy and gravity.
27 The above references and descriptions of prior proposals or products are not intended to be
28 statements or admissions of common general knowledge in the technical field and should not be
29 construed as such. The above-mentioned prior art discussion in particular does not relate to what
the person skilled in the art is commonly or well known, but helps understand the inventive step
31 of this invention, of which the identification of relevant prior art proposals is only one part.

DEFINITIONS
13 Buoyancy force is a form of gravitational force. For ease of explanation, however, "gravity" or
14 "gravitational" will be used for scenarios in which the vessel described in the present invention is
denser than the surrounding environment. "Buoyant" or "buoyancy" will refer to scenarios in
16 which the vessel described in the present invention is less dense than the surrounding environment,
17 and thus rises upwardly.

.5 limiting sense. The scope of the invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the
.6 full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
.7 In this description, references to "one embodiment," "an embodiment," or "embodiments" mean
.8 that the feature or features being referred to are included in at least one embodiment of the
.9 technology. Separate references to "one embodiment," "an embodiment," or "embodiments" in
P0 this description do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment and are also not mutually
P1 exclusive unless so stated and/or except as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from
P2 the description. For example, a feature, structure, act, etc. described in one embodiment may also
P3 be included in other embodiments, but is not necessarily included. Thus, embodiments of the
4 invention can include a variety of combinations and/or integrations of the embodiments described
herein.
26 Turning to the figures and specifically FIG. 1 to FIG. 15, embodiments of the present invention
27 comprise a energy generation device that includes a vessel 1 with a hole 28 at the base plate 2, a
28 flange platform 27 which is attached to the base plate 2, an eva foam gasket 26, a head disk 13
29 attached to the disk 14 and a valve stem 32. At the other end of the stem 32, the stem stopper 25
is provided in a unified manner. The energy generation device further includes bolt 20, nut 21,
Page 7 of 31
1 nylon string 22 which is connected to the disk 14 and attached to plate 7, a weight 8, pipe 5
12 connected to the plate 7, mounting outer ring 19, coupler 24 with its screw, wire eye strap 17, a
13 plastic pipe 5 with pipe's base flange 9 and plurality of bellows plate 7 and bellows 23 provided
14 with the said mounting outer ring 19.
Now referring to FIG. 16 to FIG. 24, embodiments of the present invention provides a method of
16 energy generation, the method comprising steps of: expanding the chamber 11 with buoyant force
17 and storing the energy; closing the chamber 11 intake valve with buoyant force; locking the intake
18 valve manually by hand or automatically by an automated device lock; and pressurising the
!9 chamber 11 with the stored energy of gravitational potential energy of weight plate 8 and/or elastic
1o potential energy of bellows 23. Specifically, the expansion of chamber 11 occurs when water
11 enters the chamber 11 after letting the air from the chamber 11 move outwards and the water level
12 in the pipe 5 reduces below the water level 3. Further, the cord 16 is relaxed quickly, leading to
13 movement of water 10 into the chamber11 due to which disk 14 moves upwards by buoyant force
14 further moving the disk 13, plate 7 and weight 8 in upward direction. Specifically, if the available
buoyant force is not sufficient, the above said elements may not have enough velocity to move
16 upwards. The incoming water 10 is coming up more into the Chamber11 and pushing up the plate7.
47 The weight 8 is still going up with the Plate 7. The stem 32 movement is stopped by guide 12 and
48 stopper 25. Due to the buoyant force, the plate 7 and the weight plate 8 are moving upwards and
49 are having inertia to move upwards. The incoming water 10 is filling up the chamber 11 while the
bellows 23 are extended up and the strings 22 pulls the disk 13, disk 14, stem 32 and stopper 25
51 downwards. The movements of plate 7 and disk 14 (stem 32) are stopped as both are pulling the
52 strings 22 in opposite directions while the weight plate 8 is going upwards. Due to this, the buoyant
53 force is higher on the plate 7 than the disk 14. In another embodiment, the process of locking the
Page 8 of 31
4 valve so closing the hole 28 is started with the cord 16. The process of locking so closing the hole
28 with the cord 16 is continued by hand; winding and/or making knot in the bolt 20. The intake
16 valve hole 28 is closed so valve is locked and the weight 8 is moves down due to the gravitational
17 pull and pressurising the chamber 11 which leads to movement of water 30 outwards to reach
18 above the water level 3 and falling into the surrounding water. This process happens as the
i9 pressurising force is more than the weight force of the water in the chamber 11 and pipe 5. Due to
)o the displacement of water, the plate 7 moves downwards and it is near the end of its movement so
1 the distance between the plate 7 and disk 13 is reduced.
'2 Referring to FIG. 25 to FIG. 30, the vessel 1 is attached to the external tank 31 with bars 4 and
'3 the weight plate 8 is on the top of the plate 7 and bellows 23 is extended fully by water. The valve
4 34 unit and some other parts are removed from the vessel 1. With Water level 3; there are two
*s shadow regions. Because the water is displaced from the region above the top plate 7, the platform
6 27 is removed and downward force is applied to the top plate 7 in the direction of arrow, so the
'7 displaced water is moved to the shadow region. The plate 7 radius is reduced so the bellows 23 is
'8 very closed to the hole 28. The water is pushing the plate 7 and weight plate 8 upwards and the
)9 amount water displaced from the region above the plate 7 to the shadow regions is so less as we
compare the amount of water to the water displaced in the FIG. 25. Additionally, the radius of the
71 plate 7 is reduced and the bellows 23 is closed to hole 28. In the later embodiment as shown in
72 FIG.29, vessel 1 is attached to the tank 31 with bars 4 but there is no hole 28 in the vessel 1 base
73 plate 2 and inside the vessel 1, the weight plate 8 is rests on the base plate2. In a further
74 embodiment as shown in FIG. 30, vessel 1 floats on the water tank 31 with the weight plate 8
inside when the device is in equilibrium position.
76
Page 9 of 31
'7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the vessel 1 is a bucket and acts as a ship hull to
'8 creates displacement of water. The vessel 1 is made of strong plastic or carbon fibre
'9 material/marine grade steel is recommended for very heavy load. The approximate height of vessel
1 can be 70 cm, diameter 50 cm (inside) and its thickness 0.5 cm. Upper end of the vessel lis
11 opened without any lid so open ended and in the base plate 2 of the vessel 1; 40 cm diameter hole
12 28 as shown in FIG. 1. The vessel 1 can be developed in any shape that maintains the structural
13 integrity and strength to stand against the water pressure on the surface of it from outside, when
)4 the device is in operation. The vessel 1 water volume capacity can be 137 litres.
)5 In another embodiment of the present invention, the vessel base plate 2 is part of the vessel 1 and
)6 further consist of an annulus. The radius (inner circle) can be approximately 20 cm and the annulus
)7 can be 5 cm so the total radius from the axis of rotation of the vessel 1 to the edge the vessel can
)8 be approximately 25.50 cm including the thickness of the vessel. The base plate 2 has a thickness
)9 of 0.50 cm.
)0 In further embodiment of the present invention, water is not a part but essential for the device
11 functions so gravity of the earth and the normal temperature of the water to be liquid. Additionally,
2 natural heat source such as sun or any artificial device to warm up the liquid can be used. The
93 surrounding water level 3 should stay below the top end of the vessel 1 as shown in FIG. 15. The
94 volume of water in the external tank 31 should be higher than the vessel 1 water volume capacity
otherwise inefficient in the device operation to push up the plate7 and pressurise the chamber 11.
96 The water level 3 is approximately 5 cm from the top of the vessel 1 and 65 cm from the vessel
97 base plate 2.
98 In another embodiment of the present invention, the handlebar 4 can be made of strong 316 marine
99 grade stainless steel. There are two handlebars 4 provided at both sides of the vessel 1. The
Page 10 of 31
)O handlebar 4 is rectangular in shape and each of them has the length of approximately 25 cm and
1 in total including the vessel 1 is 100 cm. However, their length is dependent on the external water
)2 tank 31 length (FIG. 8 & FIG. 15) so the bars 4 can be attached to the external water tank 31. (the
)3 external water tank 31 is a cube tank of approximately 1 metre) The bar 4 has the width of 5 cm
)4 and thickness 1 cm and may weigh approximately 1 kilogram.
)5 In further embodiment of the present invention, the pipe 5 (FIG. 12) is used to send the pushed
)6 out water 30 (FIG. 23) from the pressure chamber 11 to the top above the water level 3 and the
)7 pipe 5 has been attached with pipe's base flange 9 (FIG. 8) to the top bellows plate 7 so the water
)8 can go through the outlet hole 29. (FIG. 14 & FIG. 23) The pipe has the length of approximately
)9 65 cm and 1 cm of outer diameter and approximately 0.3 cm of inner hole diameter and has a
.0 weight of approximately 1OOgms. Because of the velocity of the pushed-out water 30 so If we have
.1 too big size of the pipe 5 hole's diameter then water cannot be pushed out above the water level 3.
.2 In another embodiment of the present invention, when we place the vessel 1 in the external tank
.3 31 (FIG. 15 & FIG. 17) while the device in operation, it is displaced some amount of water out.
.4 The horizontal line of water level 3 of the external tank 31 is the top level and the bottom level is
.5 the base plate 2 but the device in operation, the water will get in the pressure chamber 11 and some
16 amount of water will remain in the retracted chamber 11 so that is the bottom level of it.
17 Additionally, the water present in the external tank 31 is surrounded & pressurising the vessel's 1
18 outer surface. So, they are the limitations for the place of displaced water 6.
19 In the later embodiment of the present invention, the top bellows plate 7 is a plastic plate with a
radius of approximately 23 cm and thickness of 1 cm and is part of the Gortiflex rubber bellows
Page 11 of 31
P1 23 (FIG. 24). In this regard, the plate 7 is part of the pressure chamber 11 and weighs
P2 approximately 0.4 kg and the plate 7 has a hole 29. (FIG14)
.3 In further embodiment of the present invention, the weight plate 8 can be a gym lifting weight
4 plate and weighs approximately 20 kg with radius of 15 cm and height of 4 cm. The purpose of
.5 the weight plate 8 is to pressurise the chamber 11 by its own weight using the gravitational force
P6 and push out water 30 through the pipe 5 and above the water level 3 (FIG. 13, FIG. 15, FIG. 23)
.7 For safety reasons, the weight 8 can be connected to the top surface of the plate 7 with a cord. and
.8 can place a shock absorbing mat on the plate7 between the weight plate 8 and plate 7.
.9 In another embodiment of the present invention, the pipe 5 has the flange 9 as a base to its support
so it can stay vertically. The weight of the pipe 5 is approximately 40 grams and it has the
1 horizontal length of approximately 3 cm and height of approximately 2 cm. There is a hole 29 with
12 0.3 cm diameter to fit the pipe 5 in it. The pipe 5 and flange 9 total weights depend on the plate 7
13 because they rest on it. The hole 29 of the plate 7 is exactly underneath them to send up the pushed
14 out water 30 through them from the chamber 11. (FIG 23)
In the later embodiment of the present invention, the incoming water 10 is displaced water by the
16 vessell and it is coming back and pushing the vessel 1. (FIG17, FIG18) When there is a hole 28
37 in the vessell base plate 2 to enter then the water will get in, however, it really depends on the
38 pressure differences so high pressure at the bottom and low pressure above it. The water 10 will
39 go from high to low through the hole 28 into chamber 11. (FIG18)
In further embodiment of the present invention, the pressure chamber 11 is present inside the room
41 covered by the top bellows plate 7 at the top, sideways by the bellows 23 and for its base; the
42 base plate 2 has Flange Platform 27 and Eva Foam Gasket 26 is followed by disk 14 and disk 13
Page 12 of 31
13 on its top so when the hole 28 is closed (FIG 15 & FIG 21). The pressure chamber 11 is an
14 expandable and retractable because the bellows 23 can be extendable and retractable so basically,
the chamber's 11 volume can be reduced. When the chamber 11 is expanded by the buoyant force
16 of water, the incoming water 10 will come to the chamber 11 then the water will be pushed up
17 through the hole 29 so the chamber 11 is pressurised by the weight 8 under the influence of gravity;
18 when the hole 28 is closed. The chamber 11 water volume should be less as possible for more
19 effective operation of the disclosed energy generation device. If the bellows 23 is extended in
so certain level, then its elastic potential energy can influence the chamber 11 water more; to push
1 up. The water in the chamber 11 should be as minimum as possible for the effective use of pushing
12 the water out and up through the hole 29 from the chamber 11. The approximate measurements
13 are; the chamber 11 has a maximum expandable height of 10 cm however, it can expand to the
4 height of 7.5 cm. The height 7.5 cm is from the base plate 2 to the top plate 7. This height is
controlled by the length of braided nylon string 22 so the disk 13 & disk 14 can move appropriately,
16 when they close the hole 28. The chamber 11 has the inner radius of approximately 22.5 cm so the
17 same measurement of the bellows 23 inner radius horizontally.
18 In another embodiment of the present invention, the intake valve guide 12 is to support the
59 movement of the intake valve stem 32. The stem 32 has stopper 25 near the low end of it (FIG18)
and the top end of stem 32; disk 13 & disk 14 are attached to the stem 32 so their movements are
61 unified as one unit to go up and down so they can assist to close and open the hole 28. The guide
62 12 is an aluminium pipe with a hole in it to assist the movement of the stem 32. The guide 12 has
63 the diameter 2.5 cm and height 5 cm. The guide 12 length is important for stable movement of the
64 stem 32. The hole size of the guide 12 is depends on the stem 32 diameter so the stem 32 has 1.5
cm diameter. When stem 32 moves up for a certain distance then the stopper 25 will stop the
Page 13 of 31
)6 movement by coming up against the low end of the guide12. The stopper 25, the stem 32 and the
-7 disk 13 & disk 14 is made strong aluminium, which are marine grade aluminium. Marine grade
-8 Shock absorber (It is not in the drawings) should be attached to the top part of stopper 25 for heavy
)9 duty operations of the device so when the stem 32 moves up suddenly, the shock absorber can
'o assist to reduce the damage to the guide 12. The guide 12 has both sides the aluminium bars 15.
'1 The bars 15 each; has the diameter 1.5 cm. The bars 15 are attached to the guide 12 to support its
'2 position then other end of the bars 15; to the vessel 1 so they are attached together, bars 15 are
'3 attached to outer surface of the vessel 1 as they are in the FIG 8 & FIG 20. For each bars 15, two
'4 bolts and nuts are used to attached them to the vessel 1 and 5 cm space between the two bolts
'5 because of torque force so the guide 12 can be in stable position.
'6 In the later embodiment of the present invention, the disk 13 is a plate so it has the radius 21 cm,
'7 thickness 1 cm and weight 0.3 kg of aluminium. The disk 13 is on the top of disk 14 and stem 32
'8 is underneath to support the unified motion to go up and down as one so they all attached together
'9 as they are in the FIG 5. (The stopper 25 also move with them as one; up and down) When the
)0 disk13 is attached to the disk 14 as they are in FIG 21 then it gives extra material strength against
1 the buoyant force. and it gives space for the strings 22 to rest on the disk 14 as they are in the FIG
82 24.
83 In further embodiment of the present invention, the disk 14 is a plate with the radius 22 cm,
84 thickness 1 cm. it's aluminium; weight is 0.4 kg. There are four holes in disk 14 near the edges for
the Nylon string 22. (FIG 5 & FIG 22) Nylon string 22 has 0.3 cm diameter so the holes should
86 be just right to fit and move smoothly. The purpose is it to close and open the hole 28 so the disk
87 13, disk 14 and stem 32 are with stopper 25 work together.

19 In another embodiment of the present invention, there are two bars 15 so each side of the guide 12
)0 in "L" shape as they are in the FIG 7 & FIG 20. They are made of aluminium, each weighs 0.4
11 kg and each rod have the 1.5 cm diameter. Each bar 15 has the length 34 cm; when they are in the
2 "L" shape. The bars 15 are attached to the guide12 to support its position then another end of the
3 bars 15; vessel 1 so they are attached as they are in the FIG 20.
4 In the later embodiment of the present invention, the utility nylon cord 16 is braided nylon cord
)5 with the diameter of 0.3 cm and length 100 cm. The cord 16 has the breaking strength 140 kg. The
)6 cord 16 is used to lock the intake valve (hole 28) so one end of the cord is near the centre point;
)7 underneath the axis of rotation of the disk 14 as they are in the FIG 20. Top end of the cord 16 is
)8 used to make a knot and/or winding around the bolt 20 as we see them in the FIG 20 and FIG 23.
)9 In further embodiment of the present invention, there are three straps 17 used in the device two of
)0 them are to support the nylon string 22 movement and other one is used to support the smooth
)1 movement of the cord 16.(FIG 11, FIG 15, FIG 19) The strap 17 has the height of1 cm, horizontal
)2 length 2 cm and weighs few grams. The wire eye strap 17 is made marine grade 316 stainless steel.
)3 It has the breaking strength 140 kg. It works as normal pulley. So, it changes the direction of the
)4 force applied to the cord 16.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the mounting inner ring 18 is used to attach the
06 bellows 23 to the top plate 7 without any water leaks. (FIG19) It is made of marine grade
07 aluminium and the hole radius (inner circle) is 21.5 cm and the annulus is 1 cm so total radius from
08 the axis of rotation to the edge is 22.5 cm. Additionally, the Mounting outer ring 19 is the same
09 (as ring18) in many ways but measurements are different so it is used to attach the bellows 23 to
the base plate 2 as we see them in the FIG 9, FIG 14 & FIG 19. It is made of aluminium and the
11 hole radius (inner circle) is 23.5 cm and the annulus is 1 cm so total radius from the axis of rotation
Page 15 of 31
.2 to the edge is 24.5 cm. There are holes are made around the annulus ring 19 (Thirty-four holes as
.3 we see them the FIG 9) so we can attach them by bolts 20 but the size of the bolt 20 is reduced
4 from original size. The size of the bolt is 0.3 cm diameter and 2.5 cm length. If we make imaginary
.5 line between the holes centre points of the ring 19 then they should not cross the border lines of
.6 ring 19 (top view of the annulus the ring19 and the holes are in the FIG 9). The reason is to stop
.7 the water leaks from the chamber 11.
.8 In the later embodiment of the present invention, the bolt 20 is attached to the vessel 1 as they are
.9 in the FIG 23. The bolt 20 is made of marine grade steel 316. It has diameter 0.5 cm and length 7
P0 cm. It is used to lock the intake valve (hole 28) by manual action so by hand. We should make the
P1 action by making a knot and/or winding the utility cord 16 around the bolt 20 (FIG 6, FIG15, FIG
2 23). Similarly, the nut 21 is used with the bolt 20 to attach them as we see them in the FIG 6 and
3 FIG 15. It is made of the same material as the bolt 20. White standard thread seal tape is required
A for extended use of the nut 21 to work well with the bolt 20 as we intended.
In further embodiment of the present invention, the nylon string 22 is braided nylon string with
6 the length of 9 cm and 0.3 cm diameter. Two of them are used both sides. It is used to close the
7 Intake Valve (hole 28) with the disk 13 & disk 14 as we see them in the FIG 7 and FIG 20. It has
28 the breaking strength of 140 Kg. The Braided nylon is not effective for long term use. It must be
29 replaced with cable so stainless-steel wire - 316 grade.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the bellows 23 are made of rubber and it has the
31 material thickness 0.1524 cm. The bellows 23 can be extendable to 10 cm of height but it will
32 extend to the 7 cm height because of the movement is restricted by the nylon string 22 etc... (FIG
33 14 & FIG 20).
Page 16 of 31
14 In the later embodiment of the present invention, there are two couplers 24 which are made up of
aluminium and it is at the end of the string 22 to stop the string 22 to come back through the holes
16 of the disk 14 and plate 7. It has screw to adjust and fit with the right pressure over the string 22.
17 (FIG 7 and FIG 10). If we have the couplers 24, then easy to attach the strings 22 to the plate 7
18 from outside.
;9 In further embodiment of the present invention, the intake valve stem stopper 25 is fixed into the
1o stem 32. It has the (horizontal) length 3 cm and 0.5 cm diameter. Additionally, it can go through
11 the stem 32 and it is part of the stem 32 as we see them in the FIG 5. The stopper 25 is made of
12 aluminium. (FIG 5, FIG 15, FIG 21)
13 In another embodiment of the present invention, the Eva foam gasket 26 is made of foam, we can
14 use any suitable rubber as gasket 26. It is used to stop the leak so when the valve hole28 is closed
then water cannot get in/out. The gasket 26 is attached to the top surface area of the flange platform
16 27 with strong adhesive as we see them in the FIG 4 and FIG 21. It has the thickness 0.5 cm.
17 Similarly, the flange Platform 27 is made of plastic as the vessel 1. The hole 28 radius (inner circle)
18 is 20 cm and the annulus (thickness) is 1 cm so total radius from the axis of rotation to the edge is
19 21 cm. It has the vertical height of 2 cm. (FIG 3, FIG 21)
In the later embodiment of the present invention, the intake valve hole 28 has the radius of 20 cm
51 so it is the same hole as one together for flange platform 27 and base plate 2 hole. (FIG 1, FIG 3,
52 FIG 17) The hole 28 is used for the buoyant force to push up the plate 7 so the incoming water 10
53 as we see it in the FIG 18. Additionally, the pressure relief outlet hole 29 is located in the plate 7
54 as we see it in the FIG 7, FIG 14, FIG 23. It has the diameter 0.3 cm approximately. Because the
pushed-out water 30's high velocity. If we have bigger diameter then the water 30 won't go up
56 above the water level 3. We can use cork (It is not in the drawings) to the hole 29 rather than using
Page 17 of 31
17 the pipe 5. So, the pipe 5 is used to stop hand manual actions of putting on and taking off the cork
18 from the hole 29.
i9 In further embodiment of the present invention, the pushed-out water 30 is the water coming up
)o from the chamber 11 because the weight 8 is pushing the water up by its weight. If the bellows 23
1 is extended to certain level, then its elastic potential energy can influence the pushed-out water 30
'2 more (FIG. 23). The amount of pushed water 30 is really limited with the movement of the plate
'3 7. Not all water can come out from the chamber 11 as pushed-out water 30 because the plate 7
4 cannot move further once it hits the disk 13 so no more space to get down further.
*s In another embodiment of the present invention, the external water tank 31 is a cube of
6 approximately 1 metre. The vessel 1 is supported by this tank 31 structure for its operations and
'7 the bars 4 are used for this purpose. The tank 31 is a marine grade steel (316) water tank. It has the
'8 material thickness of 1 cm (FIG 15). The gap length is 12 cm; between the vessel 1 and the tank
)9 31 so from the low end of the stem 32 to the floor of the tank 31. The volume of water in the tank
'O 31 should be higher than the vessel 1 volume capacity because of the displaced water; it wants to
'1 move back so buoyant force to pressurise the chamber 11 etc.
'2 In the later embodiment of the present invention, the valve stem 32 is rod with a diameter 1.5 cm
73 and it has the length 18 cm and it weighs just below 0.1 kg because of the material stem 32 made
74 of; aluminium. The stem 32 is used to move the disk 13 and disk 14 with the stopper 25 up and
down as one unit; we see them in the FIG 5 & FIG 15.
76 In further embodiment of the present invention, to lock the intake valve hole 28 with the disk 14,
77 we can use any available suitable locking mechanism. The lock of intake valve 33 is the
78 combination of parts as described above to lock the intake valve hole 28 with the disk 14 so
Page 18 of 31
'9 incoming water 10 won't get in the chamber 11. The parts names are as followed to contribute to
the locking mechanism. Vessel 1, cord 16, strap 17, bolt 20, nut 21, bar 15 stem 32 etc.
11 (The number 33 is not in the drawings)
12 In another embodiment of the present invention, the intake valve 34 is a valve to control the flows
13 of incoming water 10 to the chamber 11. Which includes a hole 28 of the base plate 2 and the parts
14 of disk 13, disk 14, stem 32 and stopper 25 etc. (Any suitable valve can be used for this purpose)
(The number 34 is not in the drawings)
16 In the later embodiment of the present invention, the Pressure Relief Segment 35 is a segment of
17 parts to release water from the outlet hole 29. The hole 29, pipe's base flange 9 and plastic pipe 5
)8 are part of this segment. If we want to modify this so taking off the pipe 5 and it's flange 9 from
)9 the plate's 7 hole 29 then let the hole 29 to expose freely and whenever we want to close it by
)0 cover of rubber or similar to cork then use them to close it. When we are ready to release the
11 pressure then we release it from the hole 29 as water jet in high velocity above the water level 3.
2 We can also attach a nozzle to the hole 29 then it can be used to control the velocity of the water
3 jet as garden nozzle. (The number 35 is not in the drawings)
94 In further embodiment of the present invention, the energy storage segment 36 is a segment of
parts to store energy efficiently to pressurise the chamber 11 to push out the water 30. The parts
96 are bellows 23 and weight plate 8 etc. The purpose of the weight plate 8 is store energy in the form
97 of gravitational potential energy so the elastic potential energy while we let the buoyant force to
98 extend the bellows 23. The bellows 23 has the tendency to come back to its original retractable
99 shape. If we replace the plate 7 and bellows 23 with elastic latex sheet materials, then we can do
the same to store the energy in the form of elastic potential energy by stretching it with buoyant
Page 19 of 31
1 force (without the weight plate 8). Another way to store the energy is by converting the chamber
)2 11 vertical motion energy into electricity. So, a generator is connected to the chamber 11 with
)3 gears (with its settings) then charging a battery through wires then using the electricity in battery
)4 to power a motor to push back the chamber 11 to retract and to push out the water 30. If we want
)5 to do another way then we attach a coil spring's one end to the top of the plate 7 centre then other
)6 end of the coil spring is attached to an aluminium rectangular board's one end then other end of
)7 the horizontal aluminium board is supported by the vessel so we attach that end to the vessel
)8 inside. Basically, converting the chamber 11 vertical motion energy into elastic potential energy
)9 of compressed coil spring. (The number 36 is not in the drawings)
.0 In another embodiment of the present invention, the vessel stabilising segment 37 is the segment
.1 of stabilising the vessel 1 in the water with the bars 4 and some weights. The way to attach the
.2 bars 4 to the vessel 1 is described above. If we want to move around the vessel 1 in the water while
.3 maintaining the vessel's 1 position with the surrounding water level 3 then we can detach the bars
.4 4 and attach weight plates to the vessel base plate 2 from outside. So, the positive buoyant vessel
.5 1 can be stable. Basically, increasing the weight of the vessel 1 to keep its position to the
.6 surrounding water level 3. We can use the ship hull as vessel 1. Just making the setup of the vessel
17 1; in the hull with bellows 23 and plate 7 etc. (The number 37 is not in the drawings)
18 In the preferred embodiment, the flange platform 27 is attached to the vessel base plate 2 (FIG 1,
19 FIG 2 & FIG 3). The Eva foam gasket 26 is used over the top of flange platform 27 to stop the
leakage of water (FIG 4, FIG 21). The support bar 15 is in "L" shape and the device can contain
21 at least two bars 15 for the operation of the device. For each side of the guide 12; they are attached
22 to the guide 12 (FIG 15). The top end of the bar 15 is attached to the vessel 1 as we see them
23 FIG7. So, the guide support bar 15 can support the guide 12 position as they are in the FIG 18,
Page 20 of 31
A FIG 20. The disk 13 is on the top of the disk 14; the stem 32 is underneath them then the stopper
25 is attached near the low end of the stem 32 as they are in the FIG 5 and FIG 15. The disk 13,
.6 disk 14, stem 32 and stopper 25 are as one unit in movement. The stem 32 is supported by guide
.7 12 so it can move up and down to close the hole 28. There are two nylon strings 22 and the flange
8 platform 27 is in the middle as they are in the FIG. 20 & FIG. 21. The nylon string's 22 one end
.9 is attached to the plate 7 with coupler 24 (FIG 7). In this way, it can be attached with couplers 24
;0 from outside. The other end of the nylon string 22 is gone through the small hole of the disk 14
1 and it has knot (it looks like small stick horizontally in FIG 7) so it cannot return through the small
12 hole of the disk 14. The Other small hole of the disk 14 is used to send the nylon string 22 through
13 it before the string 22 is attached to the plate 7. So, the wire eye strap 17 is used as pulley to change
14 the direction of the force applied to the string 22. The strap 17 is attached to the base plate 2 from
above. There are totally three of them but only two straps 17 are used with the two strings 22. The
16 other one with the cord 16 to support it movement to lock and unlock the intake valve (hole 28).
17 The bolt 20 and nut 21 are attached to the vessel 1 as they are in the FIG. 15. The plate 7 has
18 pressure relief outlet hole 29 and the hole 29 is underneath the plastic pipe 5 and its base flange 9
19 so they are attached to the plate 7 as they are in FIG. 8 and FIG. 23. The weight 8 is resting on
the plate 7 without any attachment to the plate 7 (FIG 8). The vessel 1 is attached to the external
41 tank 31 with the bars 4 as we see them in the FIG 15. Then, the bellows 23 is attached to the plate
42 7 with the mounting inner ring 18 inside as they are in FIG 19. The bellows 23 is placed inside
43 the vessel 1 then mounting inner ring 19 (FIG 9 & FIG 14) is used to attach it with the vessel base
44 plate 2 as they are in the FIG 23. The water level 3 is just below the bolt 20 (FIG 15).
When the disk 14 is in the closed position then, the buoyant force over the disk 14 is approximately
46 75.40 kgf (The kilogram-force is a metric unit of force). Because the water displaced in the volume
Page 21 of 31
17 of depth 60 cm and the area of the hole 28 is 1256.63 cm2 . The downwards force over the disk 14
[8 is approximately 22 Kgf. The kilogram-force (kgf) is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal
19 to the magnitude of the force exerted on one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s2 gravitational field
sO (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth).
)1 That is, it is the weight of a kilogram under standard gravity. Therefore, one kilogram-force is by
)2 definition equal to 9.80665 N. Similarly, a gram-force is 9.80665 mN, and a milligram-force is
i3 9.80665 pN.
i4 When the plate 7 is exposed to the water fully then the buoyant force to the plate 7 is 96 kgf as it
is has radius 23 cm and the water displaced in the volume of depth 58 cm and the area of 1661.90
;6 cm 2. The downwards force over the Plate 7 is approximately 21.5 kgf.
;7 As shown in the FIG. 16 to FIG. 30, the vessel 1 placed in the external water tank 31, which is
i8 filled with water 10. The vessel 1 is pulled down by a gravitational force, Fg, when the weight plate
)9 8 is placed in the chamber 11 and the vessel 1 is fixed with the handlebars 4. The weight plate 8 is
)0 raised up by the buoyancy force, FE of water 10 when the lock 33 is released. A drag force, Fd, also
i1 acts on the vessel 1 placed in the external water tank 31 to slow it down as it moves through the
i2 buoyancy. Due to this, the weight plate 8 reaches a steady-state velocity when the opposing forces
63 are exactly balanced and the water 30 is pushed out of the chamber 11 via plastic pipe 5 due to
64 gravitational force, Fg applied by the weight plate 8. In this instance,
(Fb -F g) cos O=Fd
66 where 0 is the angle of orientation of the plastic pipe 5 with respect to the vertical axis along which
67 buoyancy force and gravitational force lie.
Page 22 of 31
-8 According to Archimedes' Principle, the buoyancy force acting on the vessel 1 is equal to the
)9 weight of the water that it displaces. This is represented by the formula:
'O Fb=pVg
'1 where p is the density of the water 30, V is the volume of the vessel 1, and g is gravitational
'2 acceleration.
'3 The gravitational force is represented by the equation:
'4 Fg=mg
'5 where m is the mass of the vessel 1 and g is gravitational acceleration.
'6 The drag force is comprised of two components: a fluid drag and an inducement drag. The fluid
'7 drag is represented by the equation:
'8 Fd=lv
'9 where is a proportionality constant that depends on parameters characterizing the hydrodynamics
of the vessel's 1 motion such as the viscosity of the water and size and shape of the vessel 1, and
81 v is the velocity of the vessel 1.
82 By solving the equations, the steady state velocity is determined from the fluid drag to be
83 v = 1 (pV- m)gcosO
84 for (pV-m)>O.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the energy generation device is not separate entity
16 from the rest of the universe, and it cannot exist separately without natural/ artificial gravitational
17 force, suitable temperature and atmospheric pressure to operate the device so it depends on the
18 external natural source of energy. However, it is clear that the efficiency of the energy generation
)9 device is absolute to the highest level as possible. So, the energy for operation (to lock the intake
)0 valve 34) of the device is so less than the output (the gravitational potential energy of the water
)1 30) of energy of the device. Without buoyant force (energy) input to the device, without
2 atmospheric pressure, temperature and gravity, the device may not be able to work. When the
3 energy is available more from the device then the device is efficient to operate so cost effective.
4 We automate the locking of the intake valve 34. Initially, we need to start the device manually by
)5 hand to lock the intake valve as described above. When we automate the locking then the locking
)6 device needs the source of energy for its operations from the output energy of the falling water
)7 (pushed out water30) so the falling water pushed the water turbine's blades (They are not in the
)8 drawings) then its shaft is spinning with the gear box to increase the speed of rotation to the
)9 connected electrical generator then the generator convert the mechanical energy to electricity for
)O the operation of the locking in the device etc.. and the rest of the energy; for our use. Everything
1 has its limits otherwise they won't exist. All depends on each other. We cannot separate anything
02 from everything. There's no equality of anything truly. So, all the equations with equal signs (=)
03 are not equal perfectly. Even smaller than the Planck length, we cannot separate all and know
04 everything.
In further embodiment of the present invention, to increase the energy output of the device, the
06 ratio of the forces (buoyancy and gravitational) should be increased. So, if we increase the device's
07 vessel 1 size laterally then the amount water in the chamber 11 is increased so the buoyant force
Page 24 of 31
)8 and the weight plate 8 to pressurise the chamber 11. However, the length of the pipe 5 is not
)9 increased so we have advantage over the depth of vessel 1 to push up the water 30 from the
.0 chamber 11 with more forces. Just put this in practical use. We have a heavy-duty operation of this
.1 device then we increase the size of the vessel 1 so its radius to 1 Metre but the height of the vessel
.2 1 should remain the same as 70 cm. And the rest are extended laterally to fit and suits the size of
.3 the vessell so the hole 28 radius from 20 cm to 40 cm size etc.
.4 When we increase the sizes of the parts of the device laterally then the material will change so
.5 now, we have steel (316 grade) parts; the vessel and stainless-steel flexible bellows, stainless steel
.6 flexible cables and stainless-steel handlebars so on. The strength/ materials of heavy-duty device
.7 may vary according the force requirements.
.8 In a later embodiment of the present invention, another method to increase the energy output is to
.9 build a building with three floors. Then, keep the tank 31 and the device so the vessel 1 with other
PO settings for each floor. Instead of letting the pushed-out water 30 to the tank 31, we extend the
P1 length of the pipe5 and letting the pushed-out water 30 to the first-floor tank 31. So, from the
P2 ground device's pushed up water will end up in the first floor tank 31 so the rest. Finally, third
P3 floor pushed up water 30 won't end up in the same surroundings water, but it will end up in the
24 ground floor tank 31 by extended pipe 5. So now we have speed of the water 30 from the top floor
so we can generate electricity from the falling water 30. The amount of water is going up should
26 be equal to the falling water 30. If we need more speed of water, then we need more floors. If we
27 make the same thing in the ramp floors, then we can transport water like this, and it depends on
28 our needs to make one way or two ways. Additionally, the water 31 should be side by side on the
29 ground floor with a gap between 300 metres then we make sure every tank 31 is filled with the
Page 25 of 31 water and the water behaves as described above. The difference is the length of the pipe5, it is
;1 extended, and we keep it horizontally; between the tanks 31.
12 We can operate heavy duty device by hand manually; to pull a cable that is connected to the disk
13 14 to lock the intake valve (hole 28) then we are just moving ton of water with minimum effort of
14 pulling the cable to lock the intake valve. Only the weight of the cable is the main concern to
operate the device manually by hand.
16 The outside source of energy sun to maintain the temperature of the water and pressure of the
17 atmosphere can be replaced by the automated device activities so the energy source is the pushed
18 out water 30. Initially, we need energy from outside source then the device can work itself but this
19 is not the perpetual motion; can't go on forever because all depends on each other for their
1o existence so this device depends on the surrounding environments and the universe itself. When
11 we automate the manual actions of the device; which is to lock the intake valve (hole 28), then we
12 can particularly use automated electric motor locking device to lock the valve of the device. But
13 we can use any suitable automated locking device as they are available at the market.
14 In another embodiment of the present invention, the provided energy generation device can be
integrated to a spaceship to provide energy. Specifically, a spaceship has rotating pressurised
46 capsules for both sides of spaceship as we are seen them in the famous movies of the passengers
47 and 2001: space odyssey. Then it's ion thruster or ion drive is a form of electric propulsion used
48 for spacecraft propulsion with xenon gas and this device in the pressurised capsules with
49 centrifugal force as the artificial gravity. So, in the beginning of the space travel journey, we need
the sun; solar power/batteries as the source of energy to start the device then it works itself as
51 described above; to provide the electricity to travel in the spaceship. The velocity of the spaceship
52 is increased in the vacuum of space makes it easier. Another way to propel the space vehicle is the
Page 26 of 31
13 space sailing. So, very powerful laser light is used from earth to propel space vehicles by exerting
4 the force of the laser light on the mirrors/ panel of the space vehicle. This device can provide the
electricity to do this.
16 In further embodiment of the present invention, the provided energy generation device can be used

Claims (2)

CLAIMS Having thus described various embodiments of the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent includes the following:
1. A buoyancy and gravity driven energy generation device comprising:
a) at least one vessel for displacement of water and for structural support of said device and
its functions of send water above surrounding water level to generate energy, wherein the
said vessel has structural integrity and strength to stand against the water pressure on the
surface of it from outside;
b) a place of displaced water for displacement of water because of buoyant force to expand
a chamber in the said vessel;
c) a pressure relief segment for controlling the said chamber water output and releasing
pressure from the said chamber;
d) an energy storage segment for pressurising the said chamber by gravitational potential
energy of weight plate/elastic potential energy of extended bellows and stretching rubber/
latex;
e) an expandable/retractable chamber for letting in incoming water and expanding the said
chamber and after while pressurising the said chamber to send pushed water above;
f) an intake valve for control of the said incoming water flows to the said chamber and
support the said expanding of the said chamber by said buoyant force and said incoming
water;
g) a lock of intake valve for lock and unlock of the said intake valve by initial manual
operation and rest is automated locking; and
Page 1 of 3 h) a vessel stabilising segment for stability of the said vessel and to keep the said vessel in position to the said surrounding water level.
2. A method of energy generation, the method comprising steps of:
a) expanding the chamber with buoyant force and storing the energy, wherein the expansion
of chamber occurs when water enters the chamber after letting the air from the chamber
move outwards and the water level in the pipe reduces below the water level;
b) relaxing the cord leading to movement of water into the chamber due to which disk moves
upwards by buoyant force further moving the disk, plate and weight in upward direction;
closing the chamber intake valve with buoyant force, wherein, the incoming water is
coming up more into the chamber and pushing up the plate and the weight moves upwards
with the said plate, wherein the stem movement is stopped by guide and stopper, wherein,
due to the buoyant force, the plate and the weight plate moves upwards and are having
inertia to move upwards, wherein, the incoming water is filling up the chamber while the
bellows are extended up and the strings pulls the disks, stem and stopper downwards due
to which the movements of plate and disk are stopped as both are pulling the strings in
opposite directions while the weight plate is going upwards due to which, the buoyant
force is higher on the plate than the disk;
c) locking the intake valve manually or automatically by an automated device lock, where
in the manual locking can be performed by a hand by winding and/or making knot in the
bolt;
d) pressurising the chamber with the stored energy of gravitational potential energy of weight
plate and/or elastic potential energy of bellows, which leads to movement of water
Page 2 of 3 outwards to reach above the water level and falling into the surrounding water, wherein this process happens as the pressurising force is more than the weight force of the water in the chamber and pipe and due to the displacement of water, the plate moves downwards and further moves near the end of its movement so the distance between the plate and disk is reduced; and e) repeating the above steps continuously for uninterpreted generation of energy as required.
