Abstract

An underwater flexible container (185) can be anchored to an ocean floor (145) by an anchoring system (140) and connected to a buoy (120) by a cable (130). Many items such as steam, water, gas, compressed air or oil can be stored in flexible the container (185). As an example, power generating system (100) includes an engine (115) coupled to the flexible container (185) by a pipe (150) and an inlet (180). An outlet (165) is coupled to a boiler (110) by a pipe (160). Pipe (150) conducts and condenses steam as it travels to the flexible container (185) where water is contained until needed by the boiler (110). The hydrostatic pressure head of the water below the water level (125) compresses the flexible container (185) causing the flow of fluid stored therein.
