Abstract

A device for doing work by effective conversion of the surface energy of natural water basins: lakes, seas and oceans into rotary movements. The device is a floating platform with adjusted mobile balloons, creating the necessary lifting force. Each balloon is set at the end of a lever by forks. The lever is bearing in its centre of symmetry on the platform and the forks provide independent turnings of the balloon into two perpendicular to each other planes. Every movement of the water surface, taking a balloon out of balance, causes turning of the balloon into one of the two allowed planes. The movement of the balloon into a certain direction turns into a rotary movement via chains, gear drives, shafts and ratchet mechanisms. In rough waters of the basin, the balloons work in pairs deviating from the vertical plane. That deviation is also turned into a rotary movement.
