JPH077996A - Buoyancy generation system for generating power utilizing buoyancy of gas generated in water - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize resources effectively by utilizing a rich and unused energy by accommodating gas generated by chemical reaction, etc., in water in the container of an energy converter and then changing the buoyancy to a turning force and then generating power. CONSTITUTION:Liquid gas is sent by a pump 1 and is vaporized by a gas generation device 8. Then. the produced gas is successively taken into a plurality of cylindrical containers 6 which rotate according to a gear 12 which is coupled in a link with a wire 11 for giving buoyancy and then gas continues to be generated further from the point when buoyancy exceeds the weight of the energy conversion device and a force required for rotating a generator 3 thus keeping rotating an energy conversion device.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to power generation using water of ocean and lake.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, there are power generation methods such as thermal power generation, nuclear power generation, hydraulic power generation, geothermal power generation, wind power generation, wave power generation, and solar cell power generation. Although there is a method of generating power by using a floating body to change the wave force into a mechanical rotary motion in the moored floating body type wave power generation, the method of generating power using the buoyancy of gas in water according to the present invention has not been devised conventionally.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to effectively utilize resources by utilizing unused and abundant energy.

[0004]

A method of generating gas by a chemical reaction or the like in water, storing the gas in a container of an energy conversion device, and converting buoyancy into rotational force to generate electricity.

[0005]

The energy converter continues to rotate by continuing to generate gas after the buoyancy exceeds the weight of the energy converter and the force required to rotate the generator.

[0006]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Effective use of limited energy resources.
