Accurate bouyancy control in pools, lakes and ocean and to maintain frequency to generate clean AC electrical power
Abstract
The present invention relates to a more precise control of buoyancy lifting heavy load, not exclusively, for attachment to large structures being lower, lifted, positioned and transported off ocean floor, but also generating AC electrical power. A rigid cylinder with dome shaped top and a sealed piston and shaft in the said cylinder with the bottom open ended is operated to increase or decrease buoyancy while displacing the water in the cylinder with a sealed shaft attached to a sealed piston is operated through the sealed dome in the cylinder. The present invention further relates to generating clean electrical power with aid of buoyancy in swimming pools, lakes and ocean with precise buoyancy control and weight simultaneously and operated uniformly by displacing torque on a lever arms that is reciprocating making buoyancy and gravity variable mechanically and hydraulically to regulate accurate frequency required to generate AC electrical power continuously.

19 . Apparatus for capturing buoyancy and gravity energy whereby generating electrical power, by said apparatus comprising;
a plurality of main lever arm assemblies wherein reciprocates as a seesaw in sequence; a plurality of buoyancy chambers mechanically displacing water and taking in water thereby applying buoyant force repeatedly; a mass weight sliding on each of said main lever arm assembly whereby applying gravity force; a main shaft passes through each of said main lever arm assemblies whereby transferring the accumulated turning force to a transmission; said transmission mechanism mounted on the platform connected to said main shaft whereby increasing the rotational speed of a working shaft of a generator: the generator having a working shaft driven by said transmission output shaft whereby generating electricity: a main active hydraulic cylinder piston rod and a slave hydraulic cylinder piston rod operate simultaneously wherein adapted to operate hydraulically, pneumatically or mechanically to relocating the said mass weight and a buoyancy hydraulic cylinder piston rod simultaneously and repeatedly thereby achieving a sinusoidal reciprocation motion on the main lever arm as a seesaw; a hydraulic valve assembly directs working fluid at appropriate locations whereby maintain steady flow of electricity as demand fluctuates: a one way clutch assembly behaves as a bearing thereby performing as a ratchet action inserted on the said main lever arm assemblies: said buoyancy hydraulic cylinder filled with working fluid operated by said slave hydraulic cylinder filled with said working fluid as a common link whereby operating said hydraulic buoyancy chamber; a mechanical pump's whereby produces pressurized working fluid; a motor turns said pump whereby equipped to operate said apparatus; a rotational transmission means rack linearly sliding on linear pushed and pulled by said main active hydraulic cylinder piston rod; an involute rotational transmission means turned by said sliding rotational transmission means rack as it is pushed back and forth; a linear guide for said rotational transmission means rack guides said rotational transmission means rack linearly as it is pushed and pulled by said means of relocating the said mass weight; a rotational energy connecting element as a conveyer for said mass weight, said mass weight is clamp on said rotational energy connecting element at a certain point on said conveyer rotated by a first rotational transmission means, whereby said mass weight is repeatedly relocated riding on bearings in both directions of each of said main lever arm assembly: said first rotational transmission means of a sufficient size to accommodate the travel distance of said mass weight, with the aid of said first rotational transmission means mounted on each of said main lever arm assembly is rotated by said involute rotational transmission means wherein the said first rotational transmission means and said involute rotational transmission means are all locked on a common shaft rotates as a unit mounted on bearings to maintain the specified backlash between said sliding rotational transmission means rack on linear bearing and said involute rotational transmission means; a second rotational transmission means is mounted on bearings at far end of each of said main lever arm assembly whereby rotated by said rotational energy connecting elements that rotates around said first rotational transmission means thereby transports the said mass weight back and forth on the main lever arm assembly.
20 . Apparatus for capturing buoyant and gravity energy of claim 19 wherein number of said main lever arm assemblies are added to the said apparatus to overcome the maximum torque required by the generator specification.
21 . (canceled)
22 . (canceled)
23 . Apparatus for capturing buoyant and gravity energy of claim 19 wherein improvement comprising additional mechanical ratchet type assemblies are inserted on both sides of said one way clutch assembly on said main shaft wherein the main lever arm assemblies would add a more positive turning force in one direction of rotation on larger capacity said generator.
24 . Apparatus for capturing buoyant and gravity energy of claim 19 wherein improvement comprises said apparatus are proportionally built to accommodate larger said apparatus whereby has an impact on the turning force on said main shaft to overcome torque required on larger capacity generator's maximum specified rating.
25 . Apparatus for capturing buoyant and gravity energy of claim 19 wherein improvement comprises said apparatus is proportionally built to accommodate to suit other applications.
