ABSTRACT:
A process of utilizing combustion products from fossil fuels to produce hydro-electric power through a process of allowing such products to displace water from a tank for operating a turbine or pelton wheel. The process allows hydro-electric power to be generated at a greatly increased efficiency. Preferably, two tanks are used to receive combustion products which exert pressure to displace the water. Alternatively, oxygen or air and a fossil fuel such as natural gas are introduced into the tank and combusted therein to generate the combustion products. The process allows existing power plants to generate additional power, and thus greatly increase the overall efficiency of the plant.
