ABSTRACT:
A self contained hydroelectric generator which includes two fluid tanks mutually connected to a turbine generator. A volume of fluid is transferred between the tanks by either an elevator or a weight positioned within the first fluid tank. The elevator or weight is raised and lowered by inflating and deflating low density gas balloons connected thereto. As the elevator or weight is lifted by the inflated balloons, fluid is transferred from the first tank into the second tank. As the fluid moves from one tank to the other through the turbine generator, the turbines impellers rotate to cause the generator's armature to rotate within a magnetic field to produce electricity.
