Abstract

L'invention concerne l'hydrodynamique, et porte sur un concept nouveau concernant la conversion d'une force gravitationnelle en un mouvement de rotation, puis en électricité. L'installation est constituée par un réservoir d'eau supérieur (100), et une turbine à eau rotative de forme rectangulaire (103), avec des auges (123) pour recevoir momentanément de l'eau. Un alternateur (104) est couplé à la turbine (103). Un réservoir d'eau intermédiaire peu profond (106) en dessous de la turbine (103) s'étend au-dessus d'un certain nombre de dispositifs de formation d'énergie de position (108). Ces dispositifs fonctionnent en série et renferment des diaphragmes (119) dans leurs sections inférieures. Un flotteur de poids (110) est relié à une masse de poids (114) fixée sur le plafond d'un diaphragme (119) dans chaque dispositif. La gravité est une énergie inépuisable et propre, qui est induite à agir de façon alternée sur une masse de poids (114) qui exerce une pression sur le diaphragme (119), qui joue le rôle de pompe pour faire circuler de de l'eau dans le système. Un corps d'eau tombant en chute libre venant du réservoir d'eau supérieur (100) fait tourner la turbine (103), qui est couplée à l'alternateur (104) pour générer de l'électricité.
