ABSTRACT:
A process of converting steam to hydro-electric power through a process of allowing steam to displace water from a tank for operating a turbine or pelton wheel. The tank includes a lightweight float of a small enough size to prevent the steam from mixing with the water below it, but to allow water to pass around and beneath the float. Preferably, two concrete, underground chambers are used to receive steam which exert pressure to displace the water. The process allows existing power plants to utilize excess steam to generate additional power, and thus greatly increase the overall efficiency of the plant.
