Abstract

a mechanism to produce the revolutions required by an electrical generator. This mechanism consists of a fixed frame with a ramp in helical form around an internal axis in vertical position. The ramp supports spheres that are pushed to the top of the ramp by bars, parallel to the axis and attached to it.The axis is connected on one end to a wheel in a horizontal position; this wheel is propelled by electrical motors fixed on the frame; on the side of the ramp is located an upright wheel, with baskets in the rim; when the spheres reach the top of the ramp, they are placed one by one on the baskets, and the wheel starts turning by the weight of the spheres.Attached to the wheel is a driver sheave that drives a gear box; this gear box produces the revolutions required to drive an electrical generator.The electrical generator produces energy for the motors that propel the horizontal wheel, and also produces energy for external use; this condition makes this generator independent of any external power or any fuel.The horizontal wheel can be replaced by a system that transforms the movement of ocean waves into circular motion. This system consists of a float held by a cable tied in helical form to an axis; another cable tied in helical form to the same axis holds a counterbalance weight. The float is heavier than the counterbalance weight and both are tied to the same axis through pulleys. The movement of ocean waves makes the float go up or down inside a vertical cage; this movement in the float causes a movement in opposite direction of the counterbalance weight and the axis turns clockwise and counterclockwise alternatively. This rotation is transmitted through gears to the main system.The ocean waves can be replaced by a stream of water, using a rotational mechanism.
