ABSTRACT:
A plurality of related systems for converting potential energy present by virtue of gravitational and buoyant forces associated with a body of water into kinetic energy and useful power. A pair of parallel, flexible belts are joined by rigid links or rungs affixed at their ends to each belt and passing over one or more rotatable gears having radial teeth with a pitch equal to the spacing of the links. The belts are turned by mechanism attached thereto which is exposed to either the kinetic force of flowing or falling water, or the buoyant force of a body of water upon elements attached directly to the belt and/or links.
