Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for the production of energy includes a vertical pipe filled with a liquid. A second similar pipe is connected to the first pipe near its top end above the top of the liquid. Hollow spheres each fit within the first pipe and float. This second pipe allows downward passage of spheres lifted into the second pipe by a sphere-lifting mechanism. A platform close the bottom of the apparatus sits in a position to be impacted by the sphere. The platform moves in response to the impact and is brought to a stop and then returned by spring action. A rotatable flywheel turns with movement of the platform. A sphere injector then injects a sphere into the first pipe and it floats to the top by its buoyancy.
