ABSTRACT:
A pressure source to develop a stream of liquid under pressure as a consequence of the rise and fall of the surface of a body of water. The pressurizing means comprises an enclosure which bounds a chamber having a pair of portions at least one of which is movable relative to the other as a consequence of a force applied to one of them to reduce the volume of a chamber and thereby to place under pressure liquid which is contained therein. A conduit leads from the chamber through which a stream of liquid under pressure can flow for doing work. Buoyant means is floatable in the body of water to rise with its surface and to lower when the surface is sufficiently below the weight means. Force transmission means applies force from the weight means, when elevated, to the one portion. A release valve is located in said conduit, which when closed prevents flow of liquid through the conduit and thereby prevents the weight means from lowering, and which when open permits flow of liquid through the conduit and thereby permits the weight means to lower. Control means is effective selectively to close and to open the release valve as a function of whether the water surface is as high as or higher than a reference level relative to the weight means itself and opening the release valve means when lower.
