Abstract

An electrical generator is driven by gravitational force provided by a plurality of pairs of water tanks. Each pair of water tanks is suspended by an elongated chain supported by a series of pulleys. The water tanks in each pair of water tanks move between an upper position and a lower position alternately by filling selected ones of the water tanks with water and draining from the other selected ones of the water tanks. The vertical movement of the water tanks alternately filled with water is translated by ratchet wheels and bevel gear wheels to rotate t he electrical generator continuously for generating the electrical power.

Claims (9)

1. A power generation system comprising:

a plurality of pairs of water tanks wherein each pair of said water tanks is suspended between two ends of an elongated band supported by a series of pulleys, said each pair of said water tanks being operative alternately to position between an upper position and a lower position, a first ratchet wheel rotatable in one direction and in contact engagement with a first portion of said band, said first ratchet wheel being mounted on a first rotary shaft rotatable in said one direction, a first bevel gear wheel mounted on said first rotary shaft, a first complementary bevel gear wheel mounted on a drive shaft and in rotatable engagement with said first bevel gear wheel, a second ratchet wheel rotatable in a second direction and in contact engagement with a second portion of said band, said second ratchet wheel being mounted on a second rotary shaft rotatable in said second direction, a second bevel gear wheel mounted on said second rotary shaft, a second complementary bevel gear wheel mounted on said drive shaft and in rotatable engagement with said second bevel gear wheel and adapted to rotate said drive shaft in said one direction, said drive shaft being rotatably coupled to a rotatable shaft of an electrical power generator through a drive belt.
2. A power generation system according to Claim 1 wherein said band is a cable.
3. A power generation system according to Claim 2 including a tension rotary wheel supporting said cable at a mid point and being adjustable for varying contact pressure between said cable and said first ratchet wheel and said second ratchet wheel.
4. A power generation system according to Claim 3 including a plurality of water pipes located adjacent to said water tanks and operative for alternately filling each water tank in said each pair of water tanks with water when a selected one of said water tanks is located at said upper position.
5. A power generation system according to Claim 4 including a remotely operative drain valve provided on each one of said water tanks, and operative for releasing water from said water tanks when a selected one of said water tanks is located at said lower position.
6. A power generation system according to Claim 5 including a central control operative for controlling water filling operation of said water tanks at various predetermined time whereby downward movement by gravitational force of selected ones of said water tanks filled with water causes said drive shaft to rotate said rotor shaft of said electrical generator continuously.
7. A power generation system according to Claim 6 wherein water released from said water tanks located at said lower position is conducted to a collection pool.
8. A power generation system according to Claim 7 including a first water pump coupled to said water pipes and a storage water tower and operative by said central control for filling selected ones of said water tanks located at said upper position with water.
9. A power generation system according to Claim 8 including a second water pump coupled to said collection pool and said storage water tower and operative for returning water from said collection pool to said storage water tower.
