ABSTRACT:
A pump mechanism adapted to float on a reservoir of liquid characterized by a floating enclosure provided with an internal chamber, an open cycling container, disposed within the chamber, an output pipe coupled to the cycling container and coupled to a swivel joint, which is connected to the lower wall of the enclose. A pressurized gas and/or steam source inlet tube, allows pressurized gas to enter the chamber. The interplay between the force of gravity and the force of buoyancy activated by the force of an expanding gas and/or steam are the factors which cycle this device in a pumping action. In operation the cycle begins with the chamber full of liquid and the cycling container resting on the bottom of the chamber. The pressurized gas forces liquid out of the chamber through the pipe located within the cycling container. This continues until the pressure has emptied the cycling container. The pressurized gas will now vent through this pipe. The pressure of the reservoir water is now greater, a one way flapper valve opens and the chamber beans to refill. The buoyant cycling container rises as the chamber fills. The cycling container's vertical, circular arc path causes it to take in water at a predetermined point, here it sinks to the bottom of the chamber. The pressurized gas can no longer vent and the chamber pressure increases. The cycle repeats.
