ABSTRACT:
A buoyant body is carried by one or more stationary shafts that extend obliquely and freely, from securement adjacent to an end or ends thereof, in a body of water whose surface level varies with time. Each shaft extends through at least that depth portion of such body of water which comprehends the variations in surface level, and is interconnected with the buoyant body by means encircling the shaft for movement longitudinally therealong. Means are provided for converting into rotational energy the longitudinal travel of the buoyant body along the shaft as such buoyant body rises and falls with variations in water level.
