Description

254547/4 ENERGY GENERATION BY USE OF FLOATATION APPARATUS TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to the field of flotation apparatuses.

BACKGROUND CN104165117 and CN103437946 disclose rotating by floating. However, they do not utilize a sleeve.

There is a long felt need to utilize floating a sleeve for rotating thus to provide a solution to the above-mentioned and other problems of the prior art.

SUMMARY A flotation apparatus, including:  a water container;  a continuous belt including two continuous straps sewn one to the other;  a spacing component disposed between said continuous straps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention will be understood from the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, which are meant to be descriptive and not limiting. For the sake of brevity, some well-known features are not described in detail.

The reference numbers have been used to point out elements in the embodiments described and illustrated herein, in order to facilitate the understanding of the invention. They are meant to be merely illustrative, and not limiting. Also, the foregoing embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated in conjunction with systems and methods thereof, which are meant to be merely illustrative, and not limiting.

Fig. 1 is a front sectional view of a flotation apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention.

A flotation apparatus 10 according to one embodiment includes a water container 30 for containing water 12; and a 254547/4 continuous belt 17 deployed between a top pulley 23A and a bottom pulley 23B.

Continuous belt 17 constitutes a sleeve including an external continuous strap 15A and an internal continuous strap 15B, sewn one to the other.

Straps 15A and 15B do not absorb water.

Fig. 8 is a view of a part of the continuous belt of Fig. 1.

External continuous strap 15A and internal continuous strap 15B are sewn one to the other along knitting lines 50A and 50B.

Referring again to Fig. 1, since external strap 15A and internal strap 15B are knitted at knitting lines 50A and 50B, external strap 15A and internal strap 15B be disposed apart from one another, thus forming a space 52 therebetween.

A spacing component 54 is disposed between external strap 15A and internal strap 15B at a certain region 58 of continuous belt 17, being below the water level 56, for forming space 52.

External strap 15A and internal strap 15B attach spacing component 54.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the spacing component of Fig. 1.

Spacing component 54 is shaped to be an elongated squared weight, being surrounded by bearings 84. 254547/4 Referring again to Fig. 1, spacing component 54 being a weight, disposed between external strap 15A and internal strap 15B of continuous belt 17 maintains continuous belt 17 open at a region 58, thus confining air (52,72) within region tending to float (60) region 58 of continuous belt 17, towards above spacing component 54 and above water level 56. (The lifting of region 58 of continuous belt 17 may further be accompanied by electric power, such as by a battery for rotating a motor for rotating wheels 22).

Bearings 84 of weight 54 avoid friction continuous belt 17, thus allow lifting of region 58 of continuous belt 17 by its floating.

Weight 54 is disposed at a low zone of water container within continuous belt 17 and is not fixed to an object.

In use, the device in placed within the water. Due to the air within the device, straps 15A and 15B of belt 17 rise while sliding along weight 54 which does not lift, for maintaining belt 17 at an open state, i.e., straps 15A and 15B are separated. The lifting of belt 17 above the weight closes belt 17, thus belt 17 is a single continuous closed belt running on the wheels, such that one portion of belt 17 rises and the other portion of belt 17 descends while running. The rising portion of belt 17 opens upon meeting weight 54 and closes while rising above weight 54; and the descending portion of belt 17 is closed all along. 25 254547/4 Fig. 3 is a top view of the spacing component of Fig. disposed within the spaced apart region of the continuous belt of Fig. 1.

The corners 80A, 80B, 80C, etc. of elongated squared spacing component as being shaped different from straps 15A and 15B surrounding it, provide air spaces 72.

Referring again to Fig. 1, region 58 of continuous belt is pressed outwards by spacing component 54.

Fig. 6 shows the top pulley.

Fig. 7 shows the top pulley and additional wheels.

Fig. 9 shows the bottom wheels for attaching the straps and the air therebetween.
