communicated with the outlet of the source 1 and the reservoir 4, the outlet with the reservoir 2. The reservoir 2 is installed under the water level and pumped compressed air into it at the moment of its ascent. The tank 2 is immersed using ballast. When the compressed air passes through the sections of the pneumatic motor b, the endless belts 11 rotate and the torque is transmitted to the drums 13. 2 cf f-ly, 1 ill.

The invention relates to mechanical engineering.

The purpose of the invention is to increase reliability and reduce energy consumption.

The drawing shows a diagram of the device for implementing the method

The device contains a source of compressed air 1 and a high pressure reservoir 2 communicated with it, placed under the level 3 of water in the reservoir 4. The reservoir 2 is made with variable buoyancy and is equipped with a ballast tank 5. The air motor 6 is placed in the tank 5, its input is attenuated with an outlet of source 1 and a reservoir 4, and an outlet with reservoir 2. Air motor 6 consists of sections 7–10, made in the form of endless belts 11 with blades 12, pulled on drums 13. Air motor 6 is fixed in tank 5 help brackets 14 Input first section 7 with It is generalized with the output of source 1 by means of pipeline 15, and all sections 7-10 are connected to each other sequentially by pipelines 16 to 18, respectively. The output of the last section 10 is connected to tank 2 via valve 19. In addition, all sections in the lower part are connected to the reservoir through the taps 20, and the output of the tank 2 is communicated through the valve 21 with the consumer 22.

The method is carried out as follows.

The tank 2 with the ballast tank 5 is submerged under the level 3 of water in the reservoir 4 by filling it with water through taps 20 sections 7-10 of the pneumatic motor b. Then compressed air from the source 1 through pipeline 15 is supplied to section 7, from there -

pipe 16 to section 8 and further to section 9 and 10, from where air enters through valve 19 to tank 2, from where it enters consumer 22. This displaces water from the pneumatic motor sections through compressed air, compressed air, which provides the ascent of the tank. As the compressed air passes through the air motor sections, the endless belts 11 rotate and the torque is transmitted to the drums 13
