ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which generates electrical power from a combination of gravity forces and the inherent buoyancy of a hollow body immersed in a fluid is disclosed. The apparatus includes a long chain having a plurality of hollow buoyant elements attached thereto. The chain extends around a pair of sprockets and the buoyant elements are immersed in a fluid along the portion of the chain moving against gravity and the buoyant elements pass through an airspace along the portion of the chain moving with gravity. The combination of buoyancy and gravitational forces cause movement of the chain to thereby rotate the sprocket gears which are used to drive an electrical power generator. Also disclosed is a housing including a hatch assembly for the apparatus and a valve unit and an insulator for use with the apparatus.
