Abstract
The embodiment of this invention relates to the inserting of a continuous chain of floats into the base of a column of water without employing the use of actuated valves or any other moving device or the loss of any significant amount of water.
These floats ascending the water column impart their accumulated buoyant force to a wheel at the base of the column.A sprocketed wheel mounted above the column redirects the floats downwardly outside the water column to be picked up by,the bottom wheel which once again reinserts them into the water column.The rotational force of the wheel can be utilized for the preferred purpose of powering an electrical generator.The methodology and principles employed are uniquely original,and provide a clean,efficient and reliable method of producing electrical energy.

Description
DISCLOSURE
Descn~tion in princiyie: .
The "Archimedes principle" observes that there is a "buoyant force" on an object submersed in water that is equal to the weight of the water displaced. Hence, a float with a volume of one cubic foot submersed in water produces a buoyant force of 62.45 pounds of lift. This unique invention, the so named "HYDRO DYNE GENERATOR" is a machine designed to harness this potential energy to power a wheel.
This invention embodies a framework supporting a water column, a "sprocketed wheel"
mounted above the column and a "ported wheel" mounted at the base and projecting into the water column. A continuous loop of floats connected of precise intervals to a flat belt is intended to travel up the water column over the top wheel, redirected downwardly outside the column and are picked up by the ports in the leading face of the bottom wheel, then reinserted into the water column. This continuous upward procession of floats impart their accumulated "buoyant force" to the wheels. The horsepower generated at the wheel axle is a product of the following factors:
1. The number and size of the floats within the chamber.

This continuous upward procession of floats impart their accumulated "buoyant force" to the wheels. The horsepower generated at the wheel axle is a product of the following factors:
1. The number and size of the floats within the chamber.
2. The height of the column of water.
3. The speed at which the floats rise.
4. The diameter of the bottom wheel.
and 5. The number of generators "attached in tandem" to a common axle.
These factors being optimized will determine the total buoyant force and the speed of travel, said factors are yet to be determined maximums.
Loss from the water column being an inevitable factor, the necessity of adding make-up water is a continuing requirement in order to maintain water levels. Features designed into the generator at the interface of the wheel and the water column effectively reduce water loss to a very acceptable minimum.
As this invention embodies the harnessment of a natural force, the necessity of consuming fossil fuels or the use of atomic, solar, wind, or geo-thermal energy is "replaced" by this reliable, non-polluting and inexpensive means of powering an electrical generator.
It is anticipated that a relatively small version of the Hydro dyne generator will adequately provide for the electrical requirements of a typical home, including heating, thereby negating connection to a power distribution grid.

Description Specifics:
Seauence of operation:
As depicted in "FIG 1: A 8" "floats " being connected to a continuous "flat belt S" rise up through the "water column 7". The floats then pass over the upper "sprockete<1 wheel 9" and are retuned downwardly outside the water column. The "descending floats l 1"
are next picked up by "ports "~'I~ l:1~ 17" milled into the leading face of the "bottom wheel 16". This event is more clearly depicted at "F'~C'r 2: 17" in a cut-away view of the wheel side surface. The float having been picked up by the port is effectively concealed and sealed therein by the belt, which is of sufficient width to completely cover the wheel face. The belt is now serving to seal the open face of the port and has the effect of "hiding" the float.
As rotation continues, the float now within its "sealed port" is "inserted"
into the water column "entry chamber 6". At this point, it must be emphasized that water head pressure is being applied in a "lateral" direction against the belt and has no affect on the float.
'fhe next event occurs when the port has completely entered the entry chamber.
Located immediately at the trailing end of the port an orifice penetrating the belt "FIG 2: 2"
upon entering the chamber allows water to enter the previously dry port. The resultant water pressure equalization creates a state of equilibrium at the rear surface of the float and "buoyancy is achieved".
Separation of the float from its port occurs as the wheel falls away on its rotational patch while the float continues its upward rise.
Engineerin.s considerations:
As only a segment of the lower wheel is required to enter the water column, water loss at the juncture of the wheel and the chamber portal is an integral design feature of this machine.
To address this issue, the entry portal is provided with close fitting dams with absolute minimum gaps, which are intended to hug, but not to scrub the wheel. Four dams being required, one on each "side" of the wheel "FIG 3 : 3", "FIG 1: 3"; one at the wheel "face" exit point "FIG l: 4" and another at the.wheel "fade" en point.
Special consideration is given the now '~trater filled" exiting port by the provision of an actuated "reciprocating" dam seen at "FIG 1. 12", "FIG 2: 12" and at "~'IG 3:
12". This sliding dam is controlled by means of a slot "SIG ~ : ~ 14" and "FIG
2:
14" machined into the "side" of the wheel, which traces exactly the facial prof 1e of the CA 02485929 2004-11-23 .g wheel and its ports. A connecting rod "SIG 3: 13" and "~'l~r ~: 13" between the slot and the dam will produce the reciprocating action to affectively scoop the water tmm the exiting port.
As wheel alignment and lateral adjustment are common practices in engineering, no drawings are include herewith, which address wheel clearance adjustments.
