  • the main objectives of this invention are using the differences in the temperatures between day and night, the differences in temperatures from one place to another, the differences in the temperatures between two baths (for example one bath is warmed by means of absorbing the sun radiation and the other bath is cooled by means of evaporation), or the difference in temperatures between deep underground water and the atmosphere temperatures.
  • any two ranges of temperatures which can be found and between which we can work can be used as a source of energy via the difference of the pressure of a suitable fluid at the two different temperatures.

  • the pressure reservoir 6 is fitted with an elastic or a rubber bag 5 which can expand easily to replace the water, when the system is in the period of what I call, the Breathing Out Period (when the vapour pressure source has a pressure higher than the pressure of the water column between reservoir A 10 and the main reservoir 6).

  • the base cell 2 will be refilled with water from the main source, and after bleeding the air from the pushing cell 3 under the first receiving cell 4, the water comes down and fill the pushing cell 3 with water.
  • the pushing cell will be ready to repeat the same story with the base cell 2, by pushing its water up to the next receiving cell 4.

  • This model is almost identical to model number five in using the water vapour pressure (figure 6a) or any other suitable vapour pressure (figure 6b) as a force to push the water up against the earth gravity.
  • the only major difference of this model is that, here we use what I call step cells, where instead of one column (model number five), here (model number six) we use two columns sided to each other, and with different cells opposite to each other (each pushing ceil sided with a receiving cell except that, the starting cell is sided with a pushing cell).

  • the liquid fluid inside the smallest single unit (cell) which is the heat exchanger (traps) built from, (naturally is going to have the same temperature as its medium). So during the high temperature period (e.g. during day), it will start absorbing heat through its well conductive boundary, from the surrounding increased temperature, and because the right chosen fluid (in its confine volume and at the available temperatures) starts to build up a pressure higher than the pressure of the water column (8 and 3), which is coming from the pressure tube connecting between the main pressure reservoirs (6 and 2), and reservoirs A (10 and 5) (f ⁇ gure-1 theory-1 and figure-2 theory-2). So that the water will flow from the main reservoirs (6 and 2) to the reservoirs A (5 and 10), until all the liquid fluid gets transferred to a less condensed state with pressure and temperature in equilibrium with the pressure and temperature that is under.

So that the surrounding starts absorbing the extra heat, from the heat exchanger increased temperature, until all the fluid with less condensed state gets transferred to a liquid with a pressure and temperature in equilibrium with the pressure and temperature that is under.

Abstract

Une masse, telle qu'une quantité d'eau dans un réservoir (6), ou un poids (10) se soulèvent, quand le fluide d'un échangeur thermique (2) est exposé à une température chaude, par exemple, pendant la journée. Le fluide se dilate sous l'effet de la température chaude et gonfle une vessie (5) ou pousse un piston (8), ce qui élève l'eau vers le réservoir (6) ou soulève le poids (10). Lorsqu'elle est dans le réservoir (6), l'eau produit une énergie cinétique, sous l'effet de l'influence exercée par la gravité, qui actionne une turbine (12) générant de l'électricité. De même, le poids (10) peut générer de l'énergie mécanique par l'intermédiaire de chaînes (12) et d'engrenages (11).
