Description

ABSTRACT:
A power plant and process for converting gas expanding and contracting energy sources into useful forms of energy and utilizing gravitational force, wherein a piston containing a magnet and able to fall within an enclosed cylinder, having a non-magnetically-responsive center portion surrounded by an induction coil is repeatedly impelled upwards thereby inducing an alternating electric current in the coil. In the first alternate embodiment, concentrated solar energy is directed onto a liquid in the bottom of the cylinder to provide an expanding gas beneath the piston. As the piston moves upwards within the cylinder, compressed air is pumped into a reservoir, after which it is available to serve as a source of stored energy. A rotary diversion valve directs hot vapor and liquid first, between a separate vapor and water reservoir and the cylinder, in order to provide vapor for a bounce chamber beneath the piston and then, to a remote cooled condenser, in order that the vapor may be condensed apart from the cylinder as the piston is free falling. The second alternate embodiment varies from the first in that liquid is vaporized above the piston in order to compress air or pump water below it. The third alternate embodiment utilizes steam and vacuum to impel a piston both up and down and has no compressed air reservoir.
